Services · Legal support
We support foreign-owned companies in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, Croatia and North Macedonia with the legal layer that comes after formation: powers of attorney, shareholder decisions, director changes, corporate documents, registered-office questions, contract support and local coordination.
Registration creates the company. Legal support keeps it usable. Different thing. Much less glamorous. Much more important when the bank, accountant, tax office or client asks for a document that apparently should have existed yesterday.
Scope
Balkan company support is usually not one dramatic legal opinion. It is a sequence of small formal acts: a power, a resolution, a translation, a register update, a director appointment, a shareholder approval, a contract review. The machine runs on these parts.
Founding documents, shareholder resolutions, director appointments and corporate-register extracts.
Powers of attorney, signing routes, notarisation, apostille/legalisation and translation planning.
Director, address, shareholder, activity and capital changes where the local route allows.
Basic commercial-document support and coordination with local lawyers for jurisdiction-specific matters.
What is included
Drafting coordination, signing route, notary requirements, apostille/legalisation and translation planning for remote actions.
Remote work needs authorityShareholder resolutions, director appointments, approvals, corporate authorisations and internal records.
The company needs a paper trailSupport with changes to director, registered address, business activity, shareholding, capital or company data.
Change is also a filingReview of corporate extracts, articles, bank requests, tax letters, registry papers and client-requested corporate evidence.
Before someone sends the wrong fileBasic commercial contracts, service agreements, shareholder arrangements and local-law review through lawyers where required.
Not every template survives contact with lawCoordination with notaries, registration agents, accountants, lawyers and local offices in the relevant jurisdiction.
One point of controlWhy this matters
Account opening, annual KYC refreshes and compliance checks often require updated extracts, ownership explanations, resolutions or director authority evidence.
A founder outside the country cannot simply “approve by email” when the local route requires a notarised power or formal decision.
Address, director, shareholder, activity or capital changes can involve registry filings, translations, tax updates and bank notifications.
Process
We start by identifying the document and the institutional audience. A bank request is not the same as a court-register change. A tax-office request is not the same as a shareholder decision. Obvious. Regularly ignored.
We collect the country, company name, registry number if available, issue, deadline, requesting institution and copies of existing documents.
We identify whether the matter needs a simple document, a notarised document, local lawyer involvement, registry filing, tax notification, translation or apostille/legalisation.
We coordinate drafts, supporting documents, signature route, language requirements and formalities. This is where most delays are prevented. Very unfashionable, very effective.
Where required, we coordinate with local notaries, lawyers, registration agents, accountants or authorities in the relevant jurisdiction.
The document is filed, sent, certified, translated or delivered depending on the route: registry, bank, tax office, accountant, counterparty or internal company file.
We help keep the company file coherent after the action: final documents, updated extracts, approvals, bank copy and accounting copy where relevant.
Country differences
Croatia has EU-formality and court-register logic. Albania is centred around QKB and practical administrative routing. Bosnia is layered by entity and local institution. North Macedonia is leaner, but still formal around the Central Register, manager authority and tax records.
Documents
These are the routine documents that become urgent when a bank, accountant, client or authority asks for them with a deadline that suggests everyone else knew this in advance.
We help identify what is actually required and how it should be signed, certified, translated or filed.
Warnings
A vague or wrongly notarised power may be rejected by a bank, registry or notary. Beautiful stamp, wrong document.
Director appointment, shareholder resolution, ownership chart or corporate extract may be required after onboarding starts.
Address, manager, activity or shareholder changes can affect tax, banking, invoices and corporate validity.
Generic English-law templates can be useful, but they may not solve local execution, tax or enforceability questions.
Indicative pricing
These are practical mid-market ranges, not fixed quotes. Formal legal opinions, litigation, regulated sectors, heavy contract drafting, notarisation, apostilles, translations and local counsel fees are quoted separately. Law has this adorable habit of charging more when facts appear.
Review or coordination of a simple power, resolution, corporate extract request, bank letter or basic document package.
Excludes notary, translation, apostille and courier costs.Director, address, activity, shareholder or corporate-record change support, depending on country and filing route.
Registry and local professional fees quoted separately where needed.Monthly legal coordination for companies that need recurring document, bank, accountant and local-professional support.
