About

Provided by CERHA HEMPEL

While advising and supporting clients on all aspects and in all stages of M&A transactions (including associated governmental approvals such as merger clearances or FDI screenings) remains our core business, we also offer full-range legal services to domestic and foreign clients after the acquisition and remain their trusted legal advisor in relation to daily operational business.

We are continuously involved in highlight cases (we have been involved in one of the flagship transactions in Slovenian market for the last 10 years). Our core clients have relied on our expertise for several years, and the scope of work for these clients is consistently increasing.

Through our longstanding relationships and cooperation with our clients, we have gained vast experience and special expertise in many industries/sectors, in the energy, automotive and transportation, banking and financial, pharmaceutical, healthcare, real estate, insurance, hospitality, technology, and retail sectors. We are one of the few law firms in Slovenia with experience to provide legal support in really complex matters, drawing on our extensive cooperation with regional and global law firms. Our solutions reflect our understanding of our client’s business objectives and needs, and therefore more than 50% of our work is related to international clients or cross-border matters.
