Legal Representative and Resident Director Services in Serbia
A trusted local executive partner for foreign shareholders — someone who executes your decisions in Serbia, represents the company before authorities, and protects your investment from compliance gaps.
Problem
Own a company in Serbia but don't live in Serbia?
Shareholders or headquarters sit abroad, while daily operations in Serbia cannot wait for a quarterly flight to Belgrade.
Decisions made at headquarters must comply with Serbian regulations — rules that change often and that few outside the country track closely.
Poor local execution creates expensive problems: penalties, missed deadlines, employment disputes, reputational damage.
Coordinating across separate local advisors (lawyer, accountant, tax) drains management time and leaves blind spots.
Our approach
One trusted local partner, not five disconnected contacts.
As your appointed legal representative we act on behalf of the company before banks, authorities, and business partners — always within your instructions.
Before significant decisions we review the local impact: tax, employment, accounting, regulatory — so you understand the Serbian consequences before you execute.
We coordinate communication with accountants, lawyers, and tax advisors on your behalf. You get a single point of contact and a clear monthly report.
You keep full strategic control. We cover the local executive side.
- Formal appointment as legal representative registered with the Business Registers Agency (APR).
- Resident director or board member function where the corporate structure requires it.
- Representation before the Tax Administration, APR, banks, and other institutions.
- Pre-signing review of corporate decisions — tax, legal, and operational angles.
- Coordination of local advisors (accounting, legal, payroll) under one roof.
- Monthly shareholder report on compliance status, deadlines, and material events.
- English-language communication with foreign shareholders and parent companies as standard.
