Testimonials

- JPM Partners combines regulatory precision with contractual innovation. The operating room facilities lease is a prime example: they designed a tailor-made contractual framework in an area where there was no local precedent. Their strength lies in turning novel legal concepts into workable, enforceable agreements. They managed to align commercial interests, medical standards, and compliance issues into a workable and enforceable solution – which very few firms in the market would be able to deliver.
- They understand both the sensitivity of healthcare operations and the commercial realities of running a medical institution, aligning their advice accordingly. Alma Karađuzović Đinđinović advised us on data protection and GDPR compliance; her regulatory knowledge is excellent. Marija Živković led the lease of operating room facilities with great skill; her regulatory and contractual expertise, combined with creativity, made this pioneering transaction possible. Lana Vukmirović Mišić provided strategic oversight, ensuring smooth coordination of the team.
- ‘Very strong background in M&A, business disputes, contracting, arbitration, and banking law. Excellent communication and collaboration practice, transparent and competitive compensation, flexible and highest ethical standards.’
