In the Balkans, the firm has an unrivalled track record of acting in major legal transactions and for major international clients.

In the emerging markets of the Balkans, history shows that the initial phase of a country's development involves the privatisation of state and socially owned companies, attracting foreign investors, whilst in parallel foreign investors seek to also penetrate such markets with their own green-field sites.

Harrisons has been at the forefront in advising on major privatisations and investment transactions in the Balkans acting both on the sell-side for the relevant Government or on the buy-side acting for the Foreign Investor. The firm has undertaken numerous large scale projects of this type in the region.
