Žiga Dolhar

Practice Areas

Žiga Dolhar is an independent attorney-at-law with more than 15 years of practical experience, principally in the fields of corporate law, employment law, and dispute resolution.

After graduating from the University of Ljubljana in 2010, Žiga has worked at the Higher Court in Ljubljana and a leading domestic commercial-law firm in Slovenia. In 2015, Wolf Theiss invited Žiga to join as an attorney-at-law with the aim of strengthening the dispute resolution and employment practices.

Žiga's strong focus on procedural aspects of court and arbitral proceedings, combined with his experience from his time at the Court, benefits his labour-law work, where day-to-day decisions are highly influenced by continuous developments in court practice. International clients rely on Žiga's advice in sensitive dismissal cases and complex restructurings, where Žiga regularly coordinates cross-border projects. As a registered trademarks and designs attorney, he also represents clients in contentious and non-contentious IP matters, including patent disputes involving alleged breach of US-patents by Slovenian companies.

Due to his hands-on experience with software development and articles published on the topic, Žiga is recognized as the go-to address for cases intertwining law and IT, and is often quoted or invited to speak publicly and submit legal opinions on legal and technical difficulties regarding the introduction of e-voting, on the state level and at the level of organisations. His experience in software development is invaluable in cases involving contentious software patents.
