Another year, another strong endorsement of the depth and consistency of Stanković & Partners, as the firm secures rankings across a wide range of practice areas in the newly released Legal 500 EMEA 2026 Guide.

The results reflect a firm that has built real market presence not only in disputes, but across the full spectrum of business law.

At the forefront stands Dispute Resolution, where the firm has once again retained its Tier 2 position — reinforcing its reputation as one of Serbia’s leading teams for contentious matters.

Beyond disputes, the firm has also been ranked Tier 3 in Banking & Finance, Commercial Corporate & M&A, Competition, Employment, Intellectual Property, and Projects & Energy, while Real Estate & Construction remains recognised in Tier 4.

Taken together, these rankings paint the picture of a full-service practice trusted on sophisticated mandates across industries.

Standout Individuals in Disputes

The guide also highlights key members of the litigation team:

• Nenad Stanković – Leading Partner
• Sara Pendjer – Next Generation Partner
• Mitar Simonović – Leading Associate

These recognitions underline both experience and the next generation of leadership within the firm.
