Testimonials 



"They were good and diligent in managing the overall process by making sure that there are no unnecessary delays. In particular, their partner and director Katarina Kresal also successfully used her negotiating and presentation skills in communications with the buyers and their representatives. They also offered some valuable legal advice, even though a law firm Jerovšek and Malis was hired as legal advisors. Janja Ovsenik, the main international tax expert at Senica and Partners, gave us valuable advice." - M&A

"What set Senica & Partners apart on this engagement was their ability to operate genuinely as an integrated advisor, not just as external legal counsel. Rather than handling legal due diligence in isolation, they coordinated a unified legal, tax and financial workstream under one roof, which significantly reduced friction and ensured consistent findings across all work streams. This was particularly valuable given the technical and regulatory complexity of the assets involved." - M&A

"Very responsive, keen to understand the situation, very detailed approach, highly professional." - Project development

"Strong team with deep, complementary expertise. What stands out is their client-focused approach—clear, responsive, and consistently practical in their advice." - Project development

"High level of business accument, up to date with regulations, speed of service." - Project development

"What stands out about Senica and Partners is the combination of technical depth and commercial pragmatism. On our vendor due diligence, the team delivered a well-structured, buyer-ready report that anticipated the questions a sophisticated acquirer would raise, rather than simply listing findings. They were proactive in flagging issues early, suggesting practical remediation steps where possible, and distinguishing genuine red flags from immaterial points — which is not something every firm does well." - Project development

"Miro Senica's most distinctive quality is his ability to function as a transaction architect rather than a conventional legal advisor. On our engagement, he did not limit himself to identifying legal risks and drafting documents. He actively shaped the strategic approach to the transaction, including how we structured the asset perimeter, how we sequenced the sale process, and how we positioned the business for investor review. This level of involvement at the strategic level is rare among legal advisors." - Miro Senica

"He does a very detailed research to understand the situation and act accordingly in a very goal oriented way." - Blaz Slavec
