Law and public affairs

Legal certainty, contract drafting and access to institutions

The Law and Public Affairs sector deals with the legal questions that arise in business between Austria, Serbia and Republika Srpska, and with contact to administration and politics.

What it is about

Austria and Serbia have different legal systems, procedure times and administrative processes. What is a formality in one country can take months in the other. Anyone founding a subsidiary, concluding a supply contract or acquiring a stake needs to know both sides.

Then there is public affairs: companies need to know which body in administration and politics is responsible for their concern and how to raise it there.

What the sector does

It pools legal knowledge of both jurisdictions, discusses changes in the law and puts members in touch with chambers, ministries and diplomatic representations.

Who it is relevant for

For law firms, tax advisers and auditors, compliance and legal departments, and for every member setting up a company in the other market.
