Legal market overview

Disappointing GDP figures have led to further austerity measures being implemented by the Slovenian government as it attempts to ease the strain on local businesses and banks. As more companies slip towards bankruptcy, law firms have been increasingly active in debt restructuring and litigation mandates. Aside from the ongoing acquisition of Mercator by Agrokor, significant M&A transactions remain at a low level. Pensions, labour and tax law reforms are a potential course of action for the government, and could help reignite the interest of foreign investors. Other possible avenues to growth include distressed banks looking to sell shares that were acquired during bankruptcy proceedings; and the possibility of future privatisations.

  • Slovenia: New Employment Relationship Act

    On 12 April 2013, Slovenia's new Employment Relationship Act ( Zakon o delovnih razmerjih ; " ERA-1 ") and the Act on the Amendments to the Labour Market Regulation Act ( Zakon o spremembah in dopolnitvah Zakona o urejanju trga dela ; " ZUTD-A ") entered into force, introducing labour market reforms as a result of long-lasting negotiations among the country's social partners. The reforms aim to establish (maintain) adequate protection of workers and their employment relationships by simultaneously implementing more effective and flexible means of adapting to current market conditions (thus reducing labour market segmentation and increasing the flexibility of employment relationships).

  • New Competition Protection Agency sets out enforcement priorities

    The start of 2013 was marked by the long-awaited introduction of a new antitrust authority - the Competition Protection Agency - which will be led by Andrej Krašek. The internal organisation of the agency differs from the structure of the Competition Protection Office (for further information please see "Competition authority reorganised: finally, again and forthe last time?"). The senate and the president of the senate will be responsible for adopting decisions in individual cases and the agency will be run by the director and the council. The agency has been reinforced with 13 employees from other ministries and public bodies, which should enable quicker resolution of proceedings.

  • Slovenia: Cross-Border Mergers in Slovenia

    Implementation of the Directive 2005/56/EC on cross-border mergers has for the first time enabled Slovenian companies to merge with companies from other mem-ber states. But Slovenian courts have little practical experience with cross-border mergers. And the complex interaction of the relatively newly harmonised EC legisla-tion and the older local rules requires a sound knowledge of both regimes. It is particularly important to know how the local rules are applied in practice.
