Finding a lawyer in Serbia who speaks English is harder than it should be. Most Serbian law firms operate primarily in Serbian, which creates a real barrier for foreigners, expats, and members of the diaspora who need legal help but do not speak the language.
Whether you are searching for an English-speaking attorney in Serbia, a Belgrade immigration lawyer, or a Serbian lawyer for foreigners you can actually communicate with — Lawyer Serbia was built specifically for you. Every client interaction is in English. We handle all communication with Serbian courts, ministries, and government agencies on your behalf, in Serbian.
Our clients come from the United States, Canada, Australia, Germany, the United Kingdom, and more than 30 other countries. Many of them have never spoken to a Serbian attorney before and are not sure where to start. That is exactly what the initial consultation is for.
What We Can Help You With
Choose the service that best describes your situation.
Serbian Citizenship by Descent
You have Serbian heritage and want to claim a Serbian passport. This applies if your parents or grandparents were born in Serbia or former Yugoslavia. Serbia allows dual citizenship and the process can be completed entirely from abroad. We handle document gathering, translation, apostille coordination, and filing with the Ministry of Interior.

Residency Permit in Serbia
You want to live in Serbia legally as a foreigner. Pathways include property ownership, company formation, marriage to a Serbian national, or employment. We manage the full permit cycle — initial application, annual renewals, and progression from temporary to permanent residency.

Company Formation in Serbia
You want to register a Serbian company as a foreign national — for tax efficiency, as the basis for a residency permit, or to operate in the Serbian market. Serbia’s 15% flat corporate tax rate makes it an attractive European business base. We handle full APR registration, bank account guidance, and post-formation compliance.

Property Purchase & Due Diligence
You are buying property in Serbia and want to make sure the transaction is legally secure. We assist foreign buyers with legal due diligence, title verification, cadastral checks, contract review, and ensuring the property is properly registered (“uknjiženo”). We also coordinate with notaries, agents, and banks throughout the purchase process.
