CHAMBERS AND PARTNERS
“A new firm with a really good share of the market”, MSA IP has rapidly cemented its reputation as a serious contender. Comprised primarily of former Zivko Mijatovic & Partners staff, the firm is committed to proactivity and transparency. Formidable insight into the idiosyncrasies of the local trademark system results in premium, bespoke solutions to clients’ problems. Vuk Sekulic’s advice is of “excellent quality. He is fast, responsive and possessed of outstanding knowledge”. A prominent figure in the International Trademark Association, Milan Milojevic is a doughty anti-counterfeiting doyen.
Operating across Southeastern Europe, MSA IP has quickly made a name for itself since spinning off from Zivko Mijatovic & Partners in March 2012. “Its dynamic young team offers an excellent, well-rounded IP service and appears to be growing rapidly in stature.” As well as prosecuting trademark applications with a rare level of efficiency, it delivers favourable results on crucial litigation and enforcement mandates, making it a popular choice among peers for conflict of interest referrals. In Milan Milojevic and Vuk Sekulic, the firm has “two highly experienced professionals”. Milojevic has managed cases in the region for over 16 years and currently chairs the Eastern Europe and Central Asia Subcommittee of the International Trademark Association’s Anti-counterfeiting Committee. Sekulic’s past experience as a criminal defence lawyer gives him an edge when it comes to taking down infringers.
IP boutique MSA IP was recently spun out of Zivko Mijatovic & Partners and has already garnered warm praise from international commentators. “The way it handles instructions is very good, and it is an admirable firm. It is no stranger to working with big names in consumer goods”. The pragmatic and conscientious Vuk Sekulic is “a joy to work with”.
