Corporate & commercial

When ownership, money, or liability is at stake, the documents have to match the deal. I help companies and shareholders put Serbian corporate and commercial arrangements on a footing that holds when it matters.

Much of the work begins with formation, a change of control, or a commercial relationship that needs clearer terms. From there it usually expands into shareholder arrangements, board and members’ decisions, registers, and the filings that keep the company in good order.

I draft and negotiate commercial contracts with an eye to performance, payment, liability, and exit — so the paper is usable in day-to-day business, not only if a dispute later appears. Foreign owners get a plain explanation of what Serbian company law actually requires.

The goal is practical counsel: what must be in writing, which risks are worth accepting, and which formal steps cannot be skipped. You leave with a clear sequence, not a stack of unfocused options.

Who this is for

Companies operating in Serbia, domestic and foreign shareholders, managers who need decisions documented correctly, and counterparties negotiating a material commercial contract.

How the work usually starts

Send a short outline of the company, the transaction or contract, and any deadline. I reply with the legal points that matter, a proposed scope, and a fee arrangement before substantive drafting or filings begin.

Typical matters

  • Company formation, amendments to the articles, and restructuring
  • Shareholder, joint-venture, and investment agreements
  • Share transfers, capital changes, and changes of control
  • Commercial contracts, supply terms, and general conditions
  • Directors’ and shareholders’ decisions, registers, and APR filings
  • Ongoing corporate housekeeping for active companies
