Borislav Vićentić

Borislav’s career spans 23 years, coinciding with the transformation of Serbia’s economy, driven by significant legal reforms. This has given him deep insight into Serbian law.

While justifiably perceived as a business law generalist, Borislav excels in specific areas where he is considered a top-tier lawyer.

Leading the banking and finance department in a major European international law firm and working on complex mandates in the ex-Yu region speaks for itself.

State aid schemes, governmental subsidies, and incentives are additional niches where Borislav has developed remarkable expertise, representing the largest international clients entering the Serbian market.

Borislav has provided tax-conscious legal services to major international clients across various industries as well as Serbian family businesses. He advises his core clients over extended periods, acting as one of the keepers of institutional corporate knowledge.

Borislav’s track record also includes mandates in the former Yugoslavia, particularly in Montenegro.
