About

Provided by Wolf Theiss

During the past few years we have been involved with and have advised some of the most important international investors and the biggest local companies in Albania.

Our Reputation

Our corporate and commercial law team is actively involved in most of the major and important transactions taking place in Albania, and has built a strong reputation as a team of diligent and skillful professionals on all corporate law issues.

Our Cases

We are currently advising major investors and large local companies on all aspects of corporate law, including corporate governance and shareholder relationships, competition and regulatory aspects, as well as litigation.

Our Role

Recent developments have shown that the trend is strongly focused on issues around the corporate governance of Albanian companies, mostly involving internal shareholder relationship and controversies. The reason for this is the still relatively new capitalism system in Albania which saw its rise in the early '90s. Our clients benefit from our team's excellent skills and knowledge of Albanian corporate law which acts as an essential asset of ideas and strategies when it comes to building a successful and long-lasting company.
