At the same time, we also offer legal services (focusing on business law) within the scope of LeitnerLaw. Accordingly, we represent a “onestop shop” for our clients, which include small and medium-sized enterprises, family-owned business and, of course, corporations. Our client base also encompasses private clients, including high-net-worth individuals.
Prior to its EU accession, Slovenia had already harmonised its legislation with EU law, apart from in areas where certain exceptions and transition periods had been agreed during accession negotiations. After completing the accession process, Slovenia became a full member of the EU on 1st May 2004. In this respect, I would say that Slovenia has acquired considerable experience over the last 30 years of its political and economic transition towards becoming a competitive European economy, as well as amassing substantial experience within the EU, given its almost 20 years as full member of the EU. This could serve as one of the greatest advantages for Slovenia.
I would say that we primarily advanced the most with respect to the development of legislation in the area of tax and audit, on the one hand, and also, on the other hand, with respect to the development of a court case law practice via the court decisions made with regard to EU legislation.
