We may summarize our short introduction in two words: breadth and depth.The South East Europe Legal Group (SEE Legal) is not only a law �rm network. For the past 12 years we have continued to develop into a highly-integrated regional legal service provider, covering the following jurisdictions: Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Kosovo, Montenegro, Republic of Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia and Turkey. SEE Legal, with over 450 lawyers provides clients with unparalleled legal expertise and industry knowledge in all practice areas: Banking and Finance, Bankruptcy and Restructuring, Capital Markets, Competition and Antitrust, Consumer Protection, Corporate and M&A, Corporate Governance and Compliance, Data Protection, Employment and Immigration, Energy and Renewables, Utilities and Natural Resources, Environment, Gaming, Infrastructure, Insurance, Intellectual Property, Litigation and Arbitration, Pharmaceutical and Health Care, Privatisation, Public Procurement and PPP, Real Estate, Tax, Telecommunications and Media.SEE Legal has its own structure (management, administration, regular meetings, practice groups), supporting infrastructure (Swiss Verein, intranet, knowledge management and clients database), publications in the form of guides and newsletters, organises international and national conferences and events.We have established and continue to develop integrated regional practice groups in: Competition, Energy, Banking and Finance and Intellectual Property. These enable us to share legal and industry-sector knowledge, practice management know who and know-how, and client service capacities to deliver services wherever the client
needs them, at a level of professional quality and e�ciency that is not matched by any ordinary law �rm network or by many of the international law �rms practising in the region.Each of the SEE Legal members delivers best-in-market expertise and client service in its own jurisdiction. In all of the countries, the respective SEE Legal member �rm is ranked by international directories and market research teams as being in the top tier for reputation, expertise and client service. As a Group, SEE Legal is ranked in Band 1 in Chambers and Partners as a Leading Regional Law Firm Network – Europe-wide. In short, ''nobody matches SEE Legal for experience and breadth of coverage throughout the entire 12-country region''. The view of international independent market researchers is that nobody ranks even a distant second.

KALO & ASSOCIATES is recognised as a leading law �rm in both Albania and Kosovo. It was one of the �rst �rms from Albania to extend its services and set-up in Kosovo in 2008 having teamed up with two prominent Kosovar partners.
The combination of the experience of the Tirana o�ce team with the two very well established and highly reputable local partners has proved to be highly successful. The success is also underpinned by the high degree of integration and mutual support between the Tirana and Pristina o�ces.
The Kosovo o�ce of KALO & ASSOCIATES has advised in most of the major transactions in the country counting among its clients a great number of prominent investors operating in the areas of transport, infrastructure, banking & �nance, energy, construction, pharmaceutical, media and ICT.
The o�ce covers a full range of legal services with the core of its practice areas being focused on: Corporate (M&A, JVs), Alternative Dispute Resolution, Banking, Project Finance, Concessions & PPPs, Real Estate and Construction, Energy, Oil & Gas, Mining, Infrastructure, Tax, Employment, Telecommunications, IP and Media.
The �rm demonstrates excellent knowledge of the local market and combined with its ability to advise at an international standard, provides clients with a �rst-rate comprehensive service. The achievements of the Kosovo o�ce to date have mirrored that in Albania and it has quickly become a leading law �rm in this new emerging market.
Chambers Europe recognises KALO & ASSOCIATES for having “established a strong presence” in Kosovo. The Kosovo o�ce shares the top tier ratings and recommendations given to the firm by the well established legal directories such as Chambers & Partners:
“We asked several of our international �rms and everyone recommended them” … “a practice that is consistent with what you would expect from a top Washington law �rm”.
