Bogdan Gecić and Ognjen Colić Receive 2026 Lexology Client Choice Distinction

Gecić Law is proud to announce that Founding Partner Bogdan Gecić and Partner Ognjen Colić have received the 2026 Lexology Client Choice distinction, further reinforcing the firm’s standing among the region’s leading business law practices.  Bogdan received the Client Choice ranking for his market-leading work in competition law.  Ognjen’s distinction is a deep understanding of the regulatory aspects of the Banking & Fintech industries.

The Client Choice gala dinner took place in London on March 19, bringing together leading practitioners and distinguished guests from across the international legal community.  Representing Gecić Law at the event were Ognjen Colić and Nataša Mitrović, European Head of HR and Operations, marking an important moment for the firm and celebrating another significant recognition on the international stage.

Recognition Rooted in Client Trust

Clients’ voices make the Lexology Client Choice distinction especially meaningful.  It recognizes lawyers who build trusted relationships, respond with precision, and help clients navigate complex issues with practical and business-focused advice.  For Gecić Law, this distinction reflects the values that define the firm’s practice.  We focus on understanding each client’s objectives, anticipating risk, and delivering solutions that support growth, resilience, and long-term success.

The recognition comes alongside both lawyers’ strong current standing in the Lexology Index.  The prestigious directory currently recognizes Bogdan Gecić as a Thought Leader in M&A and Governance and is also ranked in Competition and Projects & Procurement.  These rankings confirm his position as one of the market’s leading practitioners across complex transactional, regulatory, and antitrust matters.  Lexology Index currently ranks Ognjen Colić as a Thought Leader in Environment & Climate Change, as well as in M&A, Governance, and Banking.  His rankings reflect the breadth of his practice and his leadership on sophisticated corporate, financing, and regulatory mandates.

Together, these recognitions underscore Gecić Law’s commitment to combining top-tier legal expertise with clear commercial judgment and a client-centered approach.

The Recipients’ Thoughts

Bogdan Gecić, Founding Partner at Gecić Law, said:
“This recognition is deeply meaningful because it comes from clients.  Their trust is the foundation of everything we do.  At Gecić Law, we remain committed to delivering legal advice that is rigorous, commercially grounded, and aligned with our clients’ strategic goals.”

Ognjen Colić, Partner at Gecić Law, said:
“The Lexology Client Choice distinction is a strong affirmation of our approach to client service.  We strive to combine technical excellence with responsiveness, clarity, and a deep understanding of the business context in which our clients operate.”

Bogdan Gecić added:
“We are particularly proud that this recognition comes at a time when our and our colleagues’ Lexology Index rankings also reflect the breadth and strength of our practice.  It speaks not only to individual achievement, but also to the quality, ambition, and dedication of the entire Gecić Law team.”

A Distinction That Reflects Excellence Across Practice Areas

This year’s recognition gains further weight in light of the current Lexology Index rankings achieved by Bogdan Gecić and Ognjen Colić.  Bogdan’s rankings in M&A and Governance and Competition highlight his ability to lead on high-stakes mandates that demand strategic thinking, technical depth, and a cross-border perspective.  Ognjen’s rankings in Environment & Climate Change, M&A and Governance, and Banking reflect a practice defined by versatility, market insight, and strong execution across a wide range of business-critical matters.

In addition, two other distinguished members of our team are ranked by Lexology Index, including Partner Miodrag Jevtić in Banking and Miloš Petaković in Real Estate.

Taken together, these distinctions confirm Gecić Law’s continued international recognition and leadership in the evolving legal and business landscape of Southeast Europe and beyond.

Gecić Law congratulates Bogdan and Ognjen on this outstanding achievement and extends its appreciation to clients for their continued trust and support. This latest recognition marks another important milestone for the firm as it continues to advise clients on their most significant opportunities, challenges, and strategic decisions.
