Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘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.’

  • ‘ODI Law is reliable, pragmatic and easy to work with. They focus on providing clear and workable advice, which is particularly important in multi-jurisdictional financing transactions. Communication is efficient, and the team is responsive to tight timelines.
