Word is bond! 👉 a phrase used throughout centuries from Shakespeare to 2Pac and House of pain.

Retail government bonds 👉 THE phrase in Croatia for the past month.

For us, being part of a project taking place for the first time in the history of the Croatian capital market was all about strong rhythm, flow, and performance.

However, no samples, just pure legal design.

No room for stage fright, no improv.

It has been challenging work but also a tremendous honor acting as a transactional legal advisor supporting our clients, lead agents, Erste&Steiermärkische Bank d.d. (Erste Bank Croatia), OTP banka d.d., Privredna banka Zagreb d. d., Raiffeisenbank Hrvatska, Zagrebačka banka d.d., and Hrvatska poštanska banka, d.d. as a co-arranger in this unique bond issue of the Republic of Croatia.

Though at some point it meant working beyond our limits, it had never brought any “pain” to our “house”. In fact, great memories with our fellow soldiers will not be forgotten any time soon.

There are many levels of professional reward that make us passionate about opportunities like this.

Taking part in a historical moment is definitely one of them.
