Co-headed by Mia Lazić and Boris Šavorić, Šavoric & Partners maintains its position in the market as a ‘high-quality‘ proposition for banks, funds and corporates across an array of domestic and multi-jurisdictional financings. The scope of the work is broad and extends throughout the capital structure, including advice on mezzanine financings, both in the context of new money transactions as well as refinancing and restructurings. Lazić takes the lead on the majority of the work handled by the team, a reflection of her flourishing reputation, not only in transactional work but also across regulatory and NPL- related matters.

Leveraging the firm’s overarching corporate and finance capabilities, in particular, Šavoric & Partners is well-versed at handling transactional work with a nexus to the energy sector. Banking and finance partner Mia Lazić is regularly involved in renewable energy-related financings and restructurings.

Leveraging the firm’s broader transactional strength, Šavoric & Partners is perhaps best-known for its merger control advice to funds and corporates on their M&A activity in the domestic and regional market. Boris Šavorić and Mia Lazić co-head the team that also has expertise in state aid matters and cartel-related investigations.
