Belgrade - associate office
Since 2001, Clyde & Co’s unique association with Serbian firm ILS d.o.o., has made us one of the few international law firms able to help multinational businesses investing in the Balkan region. With a team of five lawyers, ILS d.o.o. has an in-depth understanding of the local legal and cultural complexities.
Serbia is one of Europe’s fastest growing economies, and in 2007 it entered into the Central European Free Trade Agreement. It has Europe’s lowest corporate tax rate at 10% and offers a 10 year corporate profit tax holiday for investment and state subsidies. The Russian market of 150 million people is easily accessible from Serbia and ILS d.o.o. is well-placed to help our clients navigate business challenges throughout the Balkan region.
ILS d.o.o. practises corporate and commercial law in the Belgrade office including:
- Corporate finance
- Construction
- Employment
- Insurance
- International trade
- M&A
- Privatisation
- Property
- Restructuring
- Securities market
ILS d.o.o.'s work is high-profile and cutting edge and with them we represent some of the leading players in the region. We have advised the Serbian Privatisation Agency on a number of privatisation and restructuring procedures. In addition, we are actively helping many major international companies in investing and operating in the Serbian market. We regularly advise organisations such as the EBRD and other governmental and international bodies seeking to modernise the country.
We also advise major insurers, international and local corporations and financial services companies. The team works closely with Clyde & Co's Russia and Central Asia group in London as well as other external lawyers in the Balkans, to deliver an integrated service to businesses investing in the region.
