‘The team of Buterin & Partners is made of several lawyers, and each of them has knowledge in few different law areas. Because of this wide base of expertise, they are able to give us support in all parts of our business. For almost 15 years, every project of my company, from takeovers, mergers, IPOs, and complicated financial credit transactions, to changes in organization structure and business processes, was successfully supported by Buterin & Partners. Beside the excellent help with these projects, they also succesfully represented us in all court cases, and also in more simple legal matters like traffic violations of our employees. Such kind of full support would not be possible without the strong, well-organized and very expert team of Buterin & Partners. ’

‘My general impression is that individuals in Buterin & Partners are people on whom you can rely completely. Until now, they always finished all legal tasks for us on time and in full, and their professional evaluations proved to be correct. When we discuss some legal issue, they always present several possible options, explaining both advantages and disadvantages of each one, based on applicable law and situation. At the same time, they also clearly say which option they recommend as best for us from the legal point of view and what is also very important for us is that they are reliable. Where people execute the work a mistake can happen, but when you work with individuals from Buterin & Partneri you can be sure that the info and documentation you have received was profoundly examinated and doubblechecked and if there is some mistake it will not be crucial. I mostly work with Mr. Zvonimir Buterin, Mrs. Valentina Kučić, Mrs. Matea Tkalčić, Mr. Joško Perica, Mr. Stjepan Željko Tomić and Mrs. Ana Crnković, and all of them have the same professional and practical approach.’
