Salans today announces the appointment of a new regulatory partner to its Frankfurt office. Dr
Ivana Mikešic joins from Linklaters and brings with her an associate. Mikešic will focus on the
areas of energy, environment and public planning.
Mikešic has advised in relation to airport services and associated administrative law
proceedings at Frankfurt, Berlin Tegel and Schönefeld airports, whilst also advising project
development and investment companies on numerous projects and real estate transactions. Prior to
her time at Linklaters, Mikešić was at Freshfields and formed part of the advisory team to
Fraport.
The addition of Mikešic boosts Salans' administrative law practice in Germany to eight lawyers,
headed by Berlin partner Dr. Jörg Karenfort. Karenfort and Mikešic will work on expanding the reach
of the firm's European regulatory practice, already recognised as one of the market leaders.
Global Managing Partner, Dariusz
Oleszczuk, commented, "We are very pleased to have Ivana join the firm at this time. No firm is
immune from the global downturn, but Salans is attempting to mitigate any effects by ensuring our
strongest areas for growth are resourced accordingly. The state of the current market presents not
only challenges but also opportunities for new business and recruitment.
"Our long-standing strength in the energy, environment and regulatory arena ensures we continue
to be well placed to assist clients active in these sectors."
Salans is an international law firm with over 750 lawyers, of which 184 are partners, operating
from 20 offices throughout the world.
