"With these promotions, we are acknowledging high motivation, exemplary know-how, team spirit, innovative mindsets, and a client-focused approach – the qualities CMS is looking for in their future leaders. Congratulations to [both] of them," CMS Croatia and CMS Slovenia Managing Partner Gregor Famira commented.
"I see my promotion to the position of Partner as an honor and a responsibility, both towards our clients and my CMS team," Kalajdzic said. "I very much look forward to my future path in the firm and am excited about the challenges ahead."
"I see my appointment as a Partner not just as an honor but also as recognition that I have the trust both of my team as well as my superiors and the wider CMS network," Sodja added. "I'm ready for the future: I expect to see changes in the way law firms operate and, having become a Partner, I am delighted that I will be able to play an even greater part in this."
