In the area of employment, her experience ranges from drafting of individual employment and management contracts and various employment related policies to collective bargaining negotiations, individual dismissals, complex restructuring of workforce and mass lay-offs. She also assisted a number of clients in the process of implementation of their internal whistleblowing procedures, as well as in sensitive investigations in relation to alleged harassment at work.

Her considerable experience in personal data protection matters includes drafting of privacy policies and data subject’s consent forms, as well as drafting of data processing and transfer agreements. She also worked on the data protection aspect of various fintech projects. Her most recent experience includes working on several complex projects of assessment of adequacy of the Serbian legal framework as a whole, in the context of the “post-Schrems II” transfer of personal data from EU countries to Serbia.

For the past several years, she has also been acting as Chair (and previously as Vice Chair) of the Labor Regulations Committee of AmCham Serbia, where she is leading the efforts of more than 250 companies that are members of this Committee to improve labor regulations in Serbia.
