CMS > Firm Profile
CMS Slovenia is the only truly global law firm which has been present in Slovenia since 2008. The team of 18 internationally trained Slovenian lawyers provides full spectre of practice areas and services covering all aspects and specialty areas of commercial law to Slovenian companies operating internationally and international business. That makes it even more important that our staff not only has roots in the local culture but also feels at home in several jurisdictions.
Our efficient international network, which covers the entire CEE area and has over 5,400 lawyers worldwide, enables our teams to quickly access expertise and at the same time provide seamless support to our clients in cross-border mandates. This in turn generates significant competitive advantages.
We nurture professional relationships with Slovenian public bodies and ministries, so we are better able to quantify the potential impact of their actions on your business. Our legal advice will therefore always take into account the particularities of the local market and the needs of your business.
The focus of our legal advice in Slovenia is in the areas of M&A, corporate, commercial and employment law, banking and finance, real estate and the automotive and telecommunications industries. We are also the ideal partner if you are looking for support in matters of public procurement or tax issues.
We would be delighted to hear from you, regardless of whether you already have a presence here in Slovenia or are planning to enter the market.
