In 2005 he joined an international law firm as a student trainee and, after graduating in 2008, continued there as a trainee and Associate. Having passed the State Bar Examination, in 2011 he joined one of Slovenia&#8217;s leading law firms as an attorney candidate, where he further developed his expertise, in particular in commercial disputes and transactions. He has been registered with the Slovenian Bar Association since 2012.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In 2018 he established his own law practice and in 2021, together with Andrej Brezav\u0161\u010dek, founded the law firm Brezav\u0161\u010dek \u017dgavec. Under their leadership the firm has quickly grown into a recognised commercial law practice: in 2024, the international directory Legal 500 moved it from the &#8220;Firms to Watch&#8221; category to its ranking of leading law firms in Slovenia. The firm is a member of the international network Alliott Global Alliance, which allows it to support clients particularly on international projects.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He advises domestic and foreign companies on setting up and structuring their business, mergers and acquisitions, real estate transactions and banking and finance matters, with a particular affinity for technology companies and issues in the fields of IT, intellectual property and FinTech. When a deal runs into difficulties, he represents clients in commercial disputes before courts and arbitral tribunals, always looking first for the solution that makes business sense for the client and only then for the one that is legally elegant. He also publishes on legal topics and is the author of articles on company law, securitisation and dispute resolution in Slovenian and international professional publications.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Law, for Simon, is the art of turning a tangle of interests into a clear way forward \u2013 and the moment it clicks is still what he enjoys most.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Outside the office he remains true to precision and quick decisions: he is a certified judge for ski jumping and Nordic combined at the Slovenian Ski Association. He likes golfing whenever he has time.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Foreign languages: English, German, Croatian, Serbian, (basic Spanish)<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Practice areas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">commercial law<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">real estate law<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">M&amp;A<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">banking and finance<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">IT, IP &amp; FinTech<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">dispute resolution and alternative dispute resolution<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":812,"template":"","class_list":["post-964","lawyers","type-lawyers","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Simon \u017dgavec - BZ Law<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Simon \u017dgavec is an attorney at law and partner at Law firm Brezavscek Zgavec, Ljubljana.
