Jadek & Pensa is a preeminent firm in Slovenia. There's very little doubt about it and the firm's status in tier one is unchallenged. A market leader for quite a number of years; the firm's market share is seemingly entrenched. "Jadek has been on the market from 1960," says one partner.
In a small and quiet market, clients have been delighted by the firm's performance. "Jadek is one of the best law firms we were able to find in Slovenia, Jadek was one of the main drivers to the successfully finished project," says one client, adding: "They worked 24/7. It's not typical and common in Slovenia that you work 24/7. They were really supporting us, more importantly, not just time efficient but with right reasoning and knowledge".
The firm continues to be involved in some of the markets most significant mandates. It advised Merkur, with debts over €500 million, in its negotiations with 24 Slovenian and international banks in out of court restructuring. Furthermore, it advised the same client in in-court insolvency proceedings. Similarly, with debt over €500 million, the firm advised the Tus group of companies in out of court restructuring negotiations with 23 Slovenian and international banks. Interestingly, the firm advised Nova KBM on its €104 million IPO that was dual listed on Ljubljana Stock Exchange and the Warsaw Stock Exchange.
In small legal markets like Slovenia, English is a prized commodity. "I got a chance to work with Ozbej Merc. Often in Slovenia it's difficult to find law firms that fluently work in the English language. English was the working language and with a selection of international banks, the English language as a working language that was needed," one client says.
