Selma Fetahović - Zeljković

As a Partner with over 17 years of legal experience, including more than 13 years in senior in-house roles within highly regulated industries, I advise clients on complex commercial and regulatory matters from a strategic and business-oriented perspective.

My professional background includes the pharmaceutical and telecommunications sectors, where I held senior legal and compliance positions in large corporate environments with international ownership and EU-aligned regulatory standards. This experience has shaped a strong understanding of compliance frameworks, data protection, and risk management in regulated markets. I am well versed in complex licensing agreements, contract manufacturing agreements, and industry-specific contracts.

Having worked in organizations with large workforces and complex stakeholder structures, I bring substantial experience in employment law and employer-side labor relations.

I believe effective legal counsel must be informed by the broader business context. My corporate background enables me to bridge legal requirements with strategic objectives, helping clients navigate legal challenges with clarity and confidence. My approach to legal advice is pragmatic, commercially grounded, and focused on supporting sustainable business decision-making.

Holding senior legal positions in complex corporate environments with multiple stakeholders enabled me to gain a broader, strategic understanding of business processes. This perspective allows me to provide business-oriented legal advice that safeguards the company’s legal position while supporting sustainable development. I firmly believe that effective legal counsel requires an understanding of the wider business and strategic context, and that advice detached from a commercial and market perspective cannot meet the demands of modern business.

I hold a Master of Laws (LL.M.) degree from the University of Sarajevo, with a focus on product liability within the pharmaceutical industry.
