Global Law Experts is pleased to welcome Komnenić & Partners Law Office, represented by its founder and managing partner Miloš Komnenić, as an Exclusive Member.

Based in Podgorica, Komnenić & Partners is one of Montenegro’s leading independent law firms. It advises domestic and international clients on high-value transactions and strategically important business decisions. Its core practice spans corporate and M&A, banking and finance, real estate and hospitality, energy and infrastructure, and tax, supported by dispute resolution, regulatory, competition, labour, and insolvency expertise. The firm’s appointment reflects the kind of practice Global Law Experts aims to represent: built on substantial transactional experience, guided by a disciplined, deal-focused approach, and grounded in clear commercial judgment.

Recognised Market Standing

The firm’s position is confirmed by the leading international legal directories. Komnenić & Partners is ranked in Band 2 for Corporate/Commercial in Montenegro by Chambers Europe 2026, and Miloš Komnenić is individually ranked in Band 1. Chambers sources describe him as “a true leader in the market, combining strategic vision with a pragmatic style that inspires confidence and delivers results beyond standard legal advice.” Chambers Europe 2026 also recognises the strength of the wider team: partner Nemanja Radović is ranked as Up and Coming, while Sandra Perišić and Filip Vuković are listed among the Associates to Watch. In IFLR1000 2025, the firm rose to Tier 2 for Financial and Corporate law, one year after its Tier 3 debut, with Miloš Komnenić listed as Highly Regarded, Nemanja Radović as a Notable Practitioner, and Sandra Perišić as a Rising Star. The firm is also recognised by Legal 500 as a leading firm in Montenegro, where clients highlight a “very young, enthusiastic and competitive team,” “flexible and fast in problem solving.”

Corporate and M&A

Corporate and M&A work is at the heart of the practice. The firm handles share and asset acquisitions, joint ventures, governance restructurings, and regulatory clearance for both domestic and cross-border matters. Its experience includes advising on the sale of 82.25% of the shares in Podravska banka to AikGroup (CY) Limited, the sale of shares in Hipotekarna Banka to Agri Europe Cyprus (CEE Legal Matters Deal of the Year 2025 for Montenegro), and the sale of the Franca retail business to Mercator. Clients value its commercially focused, pragmatic approach: balancing timing, structure, and execution with strong legal analysis, and managing the coordination issues that often arise in international deals.

Beyond transactions, the firm advises on corporate governance, helping clients clarify internal structures, management responsibilities, and decision-making frameworks. This support extends across the full lifecycle of a business, not only during active deals but also when internal arrangements must be aligned with wider commercial objectives.

Banking and Finance

A substantial part of the firm’s practice is dedicated to banking and finance, including project financing and bank M&A. Financial transactions involve sensitive compliance requirements, complex documentation, and careful allocation of risk. The team works efficiently while keeping the broader commercial picture in view, which makes the firm a trusted adviser for technically demanding matters in Montenegro’s evolving financial sector.

Real Estate and Hospitality

Real estate and hospitality are among the firm’s most active areas. Komnenić & Partners advises on real estate transactions and large-scale development projects, including title, permitting, and regulatory matters. Its experience covers some of Montenegro’s most prominent hospitality developments, including Hyatt Regency, Hyatt Centric, Hotel Montis, Hotel Galeb, and Swissôtel Hotel Riviera project. These projects are often capital-intensive and involve foreign investment, so they require layered legal and regulatory approvals. The firm connects legal, regulatory, and commercial considerations to keep them moving forward.

Energy and Infrastructure

The firm’s energy, infrastructure, and PPP practice combines commercial structuring, financing, regulatory approvals, and sector-specific compliance. Its work includes the Kotor Cable Car project, one of the country’s landmark infrastructure investments, as well as renewable energy and energy efficiency matters.

Integrated, Cross-Border Advice

Komnenić & Partners brings tax, regulatory, and dispute resolution considerations together in a single integrated approach. This helps clients avoid fragmented advice and supports consistent decision making from planning through execution and beyond closing. It is especially important for cross-border and sector-specific transactions, where a narrow legal lens can create unnecessary exposure.

The firm regularly coordinates cross-border elements for inbound and outbound investors. It combines local legal grounding with an understanding of international business expectations, and works alongside leading regional and international firms on multi-jurisdictional matters.

Active in the Legal Community

The firm is actively engaged in the regional and international legal community. Miloš Komnenić is a member of the International Bar Association and the Montenegrin Bar Association, and serves on the jury of the CEE Legal Matters Deals of the Year Awards. He speaks regularly at regional events on company law reform, investment structuring, and real estate development. The firm also contributes to AmCham Montenegro’s Business Climate Report and other initiatives shaping the country’s commercial and regulatory landscape.

A Strong Addition to the Network

Montenegro’s legal environment continues to evolve, with significant developments affecting company law, real estate transfers, VAT, and sector-specific regulation. Komnenić & Partners combines local market insight, hands-on transactional experience, and a structured, outcome-oriented approach that helps clients reduce execution risk while improving deal value.

Global Law Experts is delighted to welcome Miloš Komnenić and Komnenić & Partners Law Office as an Exclusive Member. For clients seeking experienced corporate counsel in Montenegro, the firm reflects the depth, professionalism, and commercial focus that the Global Law Experts network was created to showcase.
