BDK Advokati has announced the formation of a Spanish desk, coordinated by the firm's two Spanish-qualified lawyers.
The first, Pablo Perez Laya, joined the firm in January 2017. He is a member of the Madrid Bar and has more than seven years of experience in commercial contracting, real estate & real estate finance, IT, data protection, and telecoms. He earned his LL.B. from University of Navarra (Spain) in 2005, and he obtained an LL.M. in Business Law in 2006 from IE Law School in Madrid and another LL.M., in Law and Digital Technologies, from the Leiden University in the Netherlands. Before joining BDK Advokati, Pablo worked at the Real Estate Departments of Linklaters and SJ Berwin in Madrid and at the IP & TMT practice group of Clifford Chance in Amsterdam.
The second, Lazar Radic, joined BDK Advokati in 2015, and specializes in EU & competition law. Serbian by origin, Radic grew up in Spain, where he obtained his LL.B from Universidad Autonoma de Madrid in 2012. In addition, he earned an LL.M in European Union and International Law from the University of Amsterdam in 2014. He also has a degree in Political Science. Before joining BDK Advokati, Lazar worked as an associate for the prominent Spanish competition boutique Martinez, Lage Allendesalazar & Brokelmann.
The firm claims that, with Laya and Radic, it is "the only law firm in Serbia with two qualified Spanish lawyers and testifying to our second-to-none ability to assist Spanish enterprises that wish to do business in the region."
