The tier one Miro Senica in odvetniki is one of the larger firms on the market. The firm also operates in a slightly different sphere to some other leading firms. "We don't see Miro too often because they're in totally local transactions," says one partner, adding: "They act for local targets but not for buyers or sellers. They are big and have 40 people. Maybe they're not on the transactions that we are on."
Melita Trop is one individual who is routinely drawn out for praise. "We were satisfied with the services rendered. Melita Trop, one of the partners is, in our experience, one of the best assets this law firm has. She's always prepared, always on top of things and very dedicated," says one client, adding: "She's very skilled, very sharp, despite not being an expert in the field. Melita quickly understood the building blocks and argued our case very successfully."
The firm is presently advising Poslovni sistem Mercator with regard to the attempted purchase of shares of this company by an international investment fund. Contrary to the above belief, the firm has been active on both the buy and sell side for international companies. The firm acted for Japan's KDDI Corporation, as local buyer's counsel, in its acquisition of an IT company with a number of subsidiaries abroad. The firm also acted as buyer's local counsel to Gorenje in its €4.5 million acquisition of a 100% ownership stake in Asko Appliances Group. Furthermore, as sell-side local counsel, the firm advised Swedish Match on its agreement with Scandinavian Tobacco Group in regard to the formation of a global cigar and pipe tobacco company.
"They're very accessible. When we need them they're available immediately. Fridays, weekends, they can work 24 hours," one client says.
