Driven by managing partner Dejan Knezovic, Law Firm Knezovic & Associates is among the best in Macedonia. The firm has developed itself a reputation for public procurement work. Despite a sluggish market, market commentators see the firm as visible as it turns to non-resident clients. "Knezovic is focused on foreign clients. We work together with a few clients. We see Knezovic," says one partner.
With proficiency in project finance, PPP (public-private partnerships) and M&A/corporate matters, this year, the firm has been involved in some interesting instructions. In project finance, it is advising international banks in connection to the €120 million reconstruction of Skopje airport, "Alexander the Great" by Turkey's TAV holdings. Furthermore, by way of a syndicated loan, the firm acted for international banks on the acquisition of a mobile phone operator by Telecom Slovenije. The firm has also provided legal services to key energy client Alstom.
The firm is often selected as local counsel and is a strong option for international firms that lack presence in the country. To this end, it has worked with Allen & Overy, Gide Loyrette Nouel, Linklaters and Clifford Chance. It also boasts of high profile clientele including the likes of Bank Austria and Coca-Cola.
