About us_

While respecting certain principles and standards of the profession and general culture, M5 as a team of young, eloquent professionals takes care of its public appearance with great care. In this sense, we will try to introduce ourselves through two inspirational quotes of the great American writer and lecturer Dale Carnegie.

“There are four ways, and only four ways, in which we have contact with the world. We are evaluated and classified by these four contacts: what we do, how we look, what we say, and how we say it.”

Our M5 legal team consists of five special and different individuals. Each of us individually developed its career at a different pace, in different places and with different interests. Our career last between ten and fifteen years as it makes us, in a way, a team with experience that lasts already for half a century. Someone would have noticed that we are fostering a pretentious appearance at the very beginning. However, given the nature of the work we are dealing with and different social and political circumstances in which we, each, individually, pulled our own essence, half a century, actually, does not stand for a real pretentiousness. Within the framework of the above, it can even be considered a short professional cycle. As we plan to untangle the entangled regardless of whether it is about the problems or people who are struggling with the complex legislation, we, also, sometimes, connect the incompatible. Namely, we represent the generation who learned the profession and the corresponding skills from the best in a social and political system that would change leaving us to practice it in a new, completely different social and political environment. This means that we have learned about property that supported collective ownership which we would later, in the transition process, return to its original owner, in the form of private capital. Transition process turned Serbian society upside down. The changes were particularly noticeable in the area of economy, crime and family relationships. At that point, each of us decided to be an active witness of the events and to adapt produced changes to new rules and regulations. Although market-oriented, we have tried to influence the legal system by doing our job the best we could so we could facilitate this competition to us and to others. In this way, we have met all four principles of recognition of a professional team of lawyers that will make you feel relaxed and safe. This will, however, certainly serve as a good cue following the thoughts of the great American authors.

“The difference between appreciation and flattery? That is simply. One is sincere and the other insincere. One comes from the heart out; the other from the teeth out. One is unselfish; the other selfish. One is universally admired; the other universally condemned.”

Each of us represents one segment of services in certain areas of the law and all together we offer a completely rounded portfolio of legal services. Therein lies our power and creativity and that is what makes us different from others. In this regard, a unique package of legal services shall be tailored appropriately to the requirements of each of our clients individually. In our legal support of the industry, we provide services in the field of corporate law, covering all stages of business, starting from the incorporation and management of companies, consultations, negotiations and drafting of all necessary documents, investments, M&A, privatization, restructuring, statutory changes, advising clients in relation to aspects of business relations at financial market, advising economic and legal aspects of taxation and other situations that require the involvement of a lawyer of corporate clients. We cover all operations related to real estate trading as a prerogative of successful business and a happy life. We would like to point out the services related to registration, transfer and exploitation of intellectual property rights, including trademarks, patents, copyrights, rights of phonogram producers and performers and other neighboring rights. All of the above particularly complements the speciality of our two partners in the field of criminal and family law. In this regard, we are talking about the representation of natural persons before domestic and international courts, representing legal entities in economic offenses and criminal offenses, representation of minors in criminal cases, the provision of legal advice and representation in proceedings for divorce, division of property acquired during marriage, setting a guardianship and alimony and other procedures in this area.
In addition to being professional and accountable to a client, we are also selective. Each of us is focused specifically on a particular area of law but we join our forces on complex projects that involve the knowledge of more than one area of law. Accordingly, our estimate is the most realistic solution you may achieve at certain moment, and if you or we assess that things are not in accordance with our, mutual, expectations in this case, our cooperation in this project shall end there.
