About us

Law Office Spaho was founded in 1962 when its founder dr. Zijah Spaho left the position of the Vice-President of the District Commercial Court in Sarajevo and began the law practice. In a way, his specialty determined the future direction of the office, which exists to this day. His son Mehmed Spaho joined the firm in 1974.

Given the existing number of lawyers, in 2014 Law Office Spaho Ltd. Sarajevo was founded, meaning that currently we perform our activities within this form of organization.
