Testimonials
‘The team is highly professional with innovative ideas. They also have excellent knowledge in banking products in correlation to civil obligations/contract law. The balance between the high quality and high complexity of services rendered and the costs is for the client very beneficial in comparison to other law firms.’
‘Marko Frantar has extremely rich knowledge and experience with legal procedures. He foresees possible future situations and plans legal scenarios.’
‘Schoenherr Slovenia is an excellent legal team, they provide to the point advice. The team is set up of extremely knowledgeable individuals, who are very capable of providing advice and representation that is fully aligned with our interests.’
‘Bojan Brežan is a very impressive lawyer. He is always two steps ahead of the situation, comes up with quick and useful solutions to all our needs, and is able to co-ordinate on large projects. His level of legal knowledge is something that truly stands out, as is his detailed understanding of the business environment. Bojan truly is one of the best legal experts in Slovenia.’
‘Marko Frantar and Borče Malijanski are an outstanding team with excellent legal knowledge in all legal matters and affairs. They have a wide diversity of legal and economic knowledge. They respond perfectly and very timely to our needs.’
‘In practice, most law firms focus on one or two practice areas, in which their lawyers are especially experienced and successful. But Schoenherr Slovenia have excellent lawyers who cover several areas, helping to solve more problems. They are also ready to brainstorm on a topic that is also underused from a legislative point of view and lacks case law, specifically Marko Frantar.’
‘I believe the difference between Schoenherr and other law firms in Ljubljana is that Schoenherr gives good pragmatic advice on complicated issues. There are very often conflicting laws in Slovenia which complicates matters. Schoenherr’s advice is always easy to understand and definitive.’
‘Peter Gorše is an excellent lawyer with the right set of skills and values that make him one of the best in his profession. He continuously exceeds my expectations and I look forward to working with him in the future.’
