Debarliev Dameski & Kelesoska is growing in stature. In the coming years, the firm will be pushing for higher places as competitors and clients recognise its developing traits. The firm certainly has the capacity. "They have four persons who drive the work and fourteen lawyers. They can answer on many areas," one partner says.
Clients have expressed their satisfaction in working with the firm. "They're a good team covering every single area of law. They're well equipped, efficient lawyers," says a client, adding: "They're very strict in some suggestions but in some situations if clients were not satisfied in changing agreement points, they were cooperative." Clients single out Jasmina Jovanovik and Dragan Dameski for praise. "Ilieva Jasmina, she was great, really dedicated, also one of the partners Dragan Dameski, he was very good. His energy is very high," says one client. The firm's communication skills have also been highlighted by clients. "Actually, they set the benchmark for communication in our company. With any request, they'd reply within two to three hours. They made the benchmark," says one client.
In the last twelve months, the firm has been involved in some interesting mandates. Led by Dragan Dameski, the firm is currently advising the City of Skopje on the BOT (build-operate-transfer) concession for the Ski Vodno Center. Furthermore, the firm is advising Raiffeisen Bank on the €40 million financing of the construction of "Skopje City Mall" through a syndicated loan and securitisation. The firm was also engaged with Macedonian competition and corporate matters when it advised Wienerberger on its merger with Tondach.
"They're really good but not the cheapest," says one client, adding: "Their professionalism, I found of a really high level."
