JPM & Partners remains a standout choice for high-value corporate and M&A work, advising multinational corporates, private equity sponsors and strategic investors on complex, cross-border transactions, joint ventures and restructurings. The practice is co-led by Nenad Popovic, whose transactional expertise anchors the team’s work in regulated and capital-intensive sectors, including energy, infrastructure and automotive. Jelena Gazivoda is a key figure on mining, energy and finance-driven mandates, while Nikola Poznanovic plays a central role on merger control and competition-sensitive transactions.

  • Bojana Javoric and Ivan Milosevic are excellent in their respective areas.
  • Our main point of contact in JPM is a Senior Partner, Nenad Popovic. For more than 30 years, Nenad has had a reputation as one of the best, if not the best, corporate lawyers in Serbia, with an extensive track record in the most challenging projects. We also have only high praise for Nikola Poznanovic, Nikola Djordjevic, and Jelena Stankovic Lukic, all of them long-time members of JPM's corporate team. They are hard-working, precise, diligent, and extremely well-versed in all matters they are involved in.
  • JPM has been our primary law firm for over 25 years, providing exceptional legal services in all important projects we were involved in. Their commitment, availability, and knowledge are proven time and time again, and in our opinion, JPM is definitely the best full-service law firm in Serbia. We completely trust their opinions and legal knowledge.
