The law firm “Ademović, Nožica and Partners“ is a leading firm in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the fields of constitutional law and constitutional disputes.

Constitutional legal proceedings are the most challenging disputes for lawyers. Its fundamental strength depends on good understanding of trial technics and applicable substantial law, on the one side, while constitutional and internationally recognized legal standards are additional upgrade that may not be avoided in the constitutional disputes, on the other side.

The law firm led by the attorney Prof. Dr. Nedim Ademović has achieved success in dealing with different types of disputes before constitutional courts in Bosnia and Herzegovina, ranging from abstract review of constitutionality via federal disputes to protection of human rights and freedom. The law firm represented presidents and vice presidents, parliaments and governments of Bosnia and Herzegovina, entities and cantons, as well as individual public officials. Also, the law firm represented political minorities in their efforts to defend their views that laws meet or not international or constitutional norms, or that their guaranteed rights, public interest or other standards which public authorities are obliged to respect, are violated.

Among other cases, we offered our professional assistance in order to prove unconstitutionality of the Law on Pardon in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Law on Public Holidays of Republic Srpska, Decisions related to calling for a republic referendum in Republic of Srpska. Our code of ethics and professional conduct remained the same in representing legislative authorities in defending the constitutionality of certain laws, as in the case of challenging the constitutionality of the Law on Early Favorable Retirement of Defenders of Defense-Liberation War.

Professionalism and competence of our lawyers is recognized in and outside of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Prof. Dr. Nedim Ademović is highly respected constitutional law and human rights expert.
