Lawyer for contracts and damages in Belgrade
The law of obligations covers relations arising from contracts, damage and unjust enrichment. In practice this means drafting and reviewing contracts, collecting debts and claiming compensation, for example after a traffic accident. Most of these claims are subject to limitation periods, so it is better not to wait.

Frequently asked questions
What is a limitation period?
After the statutory period expires, a claim can no longer be enforced if the debtor invokes the limitation. The general period is 10 years, but certain claims, including compensation for damage, have special periods.
Is a verbal contract valid?
Many contracts are valid even if verbal, but they are hard to prove. Some contracts require a specific form by law, for example a contract for the sale of real estate.
What should I do with a payment order I received?
Check the objection deadline stated in the document and bring it to a lawyer immediately. Missing the deadline can lead to enforcement.
