- ‘ODI Law’s people stand out through their sophisticated multi‑disciplinary expertise, deep regional fluency, multilingual capabilities, client‑centric approach, innovative integration of boutique talent, and visible thought leadership. These qualities, embodied by leaders like Uroš Ilić, Tine Mišic, and Primož Mikolič, set ODI apart as both trusted advisors and agile legal partners in the Southeast European legal landscape. Specifically, Tine Mišic distinguishes himself by combining cross-border regulatory know-how with exceptional client orientation. His legal intelligence is matched by an organisational mindset—making him reliable, practical, and results-driven. This blend of academic depth, pragmatic delivery, and cultural adaptability elevates Tine as a key asset within ODI Law’s leadership and advisor circle.’
- ‘What I value the most and what brings the most value to our business is the ODILAW team being professional, responsive, accurate and a "one stop shop".
- ‘In my experience, ODI Law is a capable and reliable local firm with good knowledge of Slovenian banking and finance regulations and the practicalities of local filings and security perfection. The team is responsive, organised, and generally solution-oriented, which makes cross-border work easier to manage. Compared to other Slovenian firms, ODI offers consistent availability and practical input rather than extensive theoretical analysis, which often suits the needs of financing transactions. Their advice is clear and focused on implementation steps.’
