Setting Up or Running a Business in Croatia
Croatia's EU membership, euro adoption, and Adriatic position make it an increasingly practical base for international business. Whether you're establishing a new presence, acquiring an existing company, or managing an ongoing operation, the legal requirements are specific - and getting them right from the start saves considerable time later.
We advise and represent international clients across the full range of corporate and commercial matters in Croatia. Most commonly that means helping investors establish a Croatian d.o.o., guiding them through the registration process, and structuring ownership and management arrangements.
Our associate Robert Đokić has developed specific expertise in cryptocurrency regulation and anti-money laundering compliance - an area of growing relevance for international businesses and investors operating in or through Croatia.
This typically involves:
- Company formation (d.o.o. and other structures)
- Shareholder agreements and ownership structuring
- Share acquisitions and disposals
- Due diligence on Croatian companies
- Commercial Register procedures
- Changes in ownership, management, and company structure
- Capital increase and decrease
- Commercial contract drafting and review
- AML compliance and cryptocurrency regulation
- Commercial dispute resolution and litigation
- Liquidation and insolvency
