Legal 500 Editorial commentary
Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- Partner Radovan Grbović is composed and persuasive in hearings, with a gift for simplifying complex factual matrices. Katarina Živković demonstrates maturity in court. Her approach is pragmatic, and she is responsive and calm under pressure.
- SOG brings a blend of courtroom poise, sector fluency, and settlement strategy. They are equally credible before local courts and arbitral tribunals, yet never lose sight of business outcomes, balancing legal positions with deal dynamics, reputational considerations, and timing. Their written advocacy is top-tier: concise, persuasive, and grounded in the exact evidence that moves tribunals. They are 'strategists first, litigators second,' which makes a measurable difference in high-stakes matters. SOG is our first call for high-stakes disputes in Serbia.
- ‘Katarina Živković is a professional and reliable collaborator, objective and always ready to answer any inquiry. She has profound knowledge in the field of Commercial Law, Law of Obligations, as well as compensation for damages.’
- ‘Professional and timely work, easily approached and stayed in touch in the dispute resolution sphere.’
- ‘Always could be reached for any clarification and support in courts (either online or in person), keeping you updated. A high level of knowledge of the industry allows a great understanding of the processes and therefore guarantees ongoing professional support to the client.'
