Dimitrijevic & Partners

Dimitrijevic & Partners has developed a cornerstone practice from its Banja Luka office. The firm advises clients in proceedings before the competition council of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with particular expertise in relation to breaches of competition rules and merger clearance mandates. The practice also carries out work relating to obtaining the consent of the competition council for the exemption of an individual agreement. The firm enjoys a broad and high profile client base, including companies such as one of the biggest bottled water producers in Bosnia, which the firm advised in respect of an acquisition and the consequent merger clearance and the exemption of a restrictive agreement before the Bosnian competition council. Industries in which the firm carries out work include energy, telecoms, food production, banking and finance, and IT. Founding partner Stevan Dimitrijević receives great praise from clients, and brings 'extensive expertise' in applying competition law requirements within business environments, along with a 'deep theoretical understanding'.  The firm takes advantage of its cross-practice expertise, with lawyers from separate departments collaborating in the best interests of their clients.
