Croatia
Schoenherr commenced its activities in Croatia in 2001. Initially with a strong focus on m&a, the office profited from the thriving economic activity in Croatia at the beginning of the millennium.
Schoenherr, together with independent Croatian lawyers, was involved in most of the headline deals, including privatisations in the insurance and energy industries (gas utilities), private to private transactions in the insurance and banking sectors, and foreign investment in the pharmaceuticals and food trading industries.
Building on this early success, Schoenherr has acted for many of the large real estate investors attracted to Croatia in recent years. In line with market developments, the office has recently experienced a rapid expansion of its banking & finance practice.
