From Big Law excellence to boutique innovation
My legal journey began with a simple belief: the best lawyers combine rigorous analytical thinking with genuine human understanding.
This philosophy guided me through cum laude graduation from Ljubljana's Faculty of Law in 2010 and continues to shape my practice today. During two and a half transformative years at the premier Slovenian law firm, I learned the foundations of exceptional legal service while working on complex commercial matters. This experience proved invaluable when I joined the leading regional firm in 2015, where I spent over a decade ascending from associate to counsel, advising Fortune 500 companies on their most critical Central European ventures. I led cross-border M&A transactions, structured innovative joint ventures across multiple jurisdictions, developed deep expertise in technology sector regulations, and gained recognition as the go-to expert for HR matters. Clients consistently praised my ability to distill complex legal frameworks into clear, actionable strategies - recognition reflected in Chambers & Partners, Legal 500 and World Trademark Review rankings.
In September 2025, I established this independent practice to offer something unique: the sophisticated legal counsel of an international firm delivered through direct, personal partnership. Here, you won't be handed off to junior staff or wait days for partner approval. You'll work with me directly, benefiting from my international experience while enjoying the responsiveness and flexibility only a boutique practice can provide.
Beyond the office, I'm an advocate for Slovenia's growing tech ecosystem, a classical music enthusiast, and an avid hiker exploring our beautiful Alpine trails. These pursuits remind me that law, at its best, serves human ambitions and protects what matters most.
