1. Legal framework

1.1. According to Article 45 of the Serbian Law on Advocacy [in Serbian: “Zakon o advokaturi”] (Official Gazette of the RS 31/2011 and 24/2012) (hereinafter referred to as “Law on Advocacy”), two or more Attorneys at Law [in Serbian: “advokati”] (hereinafter referred to as the “Founders”) may, by agreement, regulate their mutual business and property relations and establish a joint law office [in Serbian: “Zajednička advokatska kancelarija”] (hereinafter referred to as the “Joint Law Office”). The Founders are obligated to submit the agreement, along with the registration application, to the competent Bar Association [in Serbian: “Advokatska komora”] within 15 days of execution for registration purposes. All Founders from the same Joint Law Office must have the same registered office. The Joint Law Office must display a notice board stating the words “joint law office” [in Serbian: “Zajednička advokatska kancelarija”] and the name of the joint law office, in accordance with the founding agreement and the Law on Advocacy. The Joint Law Office does not have the status of a legal entity. The Joint Law Office ceases to exist either by agreement of the Founders or if only one Founder remains as a member.

2. Legal status

The full registered name of the joint law office is “Zajednička advokatska kancelarija Bojanović i partneri.” This is a Serbian law office organized and registered with the Belgrade Bar Association [in Serbian: “Advokatska komora Beograda”], with the registered office [in Serbian: “registrovano sedište kancelarije”] at 12 Vlajkovićeva, 11000 Belgrade, Republic of Serbia. The law firm is inscribed in the relevant registry of the Belgrade Bar Association by decision number 4316/2016, in compliance with the Law on Advocacy, the Statute of the Serbian Bar Association [in Serbian: “Statut Advokatske komore Srbije”] (Official Gazette of the RS 85/2011, 78/2012, 86/2013, 11/2023, and 22/2024), the Statute of the Belgrade Bar Association [in Serbian: “Statut Advokatske komore Beograda”] (Official Gazette of the City of Belgrade 37/2018), and the Code of Professional Ethics of Attorneys [in Serbian: “Kodeks profesionalne etike advokata”] (Official Gazette of the RS 27/2012 and 159/2020) (hereinafter: “Applicable Legislation”).
