Comprehensive support in hotel takeover and expansion
We supported Marin Cokarić with the acquisition and operational expansion of a hotel in Krilo Jesenice. Our experts assisted in negotiations, securing seller financing and a smooth asset transfer with VAT optimization. After the transfer, the Mandracchio Team worked closely with Marin to build an executive team to meet his needs.
I came to Mandracchio knowing only that I wanted to buy hotel Krilo, but without proper financing lined up. What concerned me most was that I had to finance part of the purchase price and needed money for renovations. They didn’t just negotiate the deal, they advised me on how to redesign it so I could afford to renovate properly without being cash strapped

Creating a Croatian special-purpose vehicle for non-EU citizens
A group of private investors acquired a large Adriatic land parcel for phased development and resale. We supported all key steps: forming a Croatian SPV reflecting each investor’s share, conducting due diligence, structuring cross-border investment and escrow mechanics, and coordinating tax planning and KYC/AML for non-EU shareholders.
We had a strict timeframe to realize on a land contract option. Our partners outside the EU were interested to fund part of the project, but had concerns about the time AML compliance would take. Mandracchio provided us with safety, clarity, and a structured plan. Thanks to their expertise and proactive approach, we completed everything in time to seize the opportunity

Establishing EU wide regulatory compliance in the financial sector
We advised Vicuna d.o.o., a fintech company developing advanced risk-assessment algorithms for investment funds and financial institutions, on achieving full legal and regulatory compliance under Croatian and EU frameworks. We coordinated with HANFA alongside our tax and legal partners, designed an integrated tax, governance, and contract architecture.
When we started developing our financial software, we couldn’t imagine how intense the regulatory side would be. For our clients and partners everything must be spot on. Mandracchio was the best partner we could have gotten for this job. They spotted the bottlenecks before we even ran into them and built a team around us that handled all the compliance and taxation

Managing a Complex Construction Dispute for a Foreign Retiree
We supported a foreign client whose newly built villa near Split had major construction defects. We coordinated the dispute with local lawyers and construction experts, arranged temporary housing, and supervised repairs to ensure progress. This holistic support kept the client secure while the case advanced toward resolution.
When I hired a Croatian construction company to build my house on the hills above split, i didn’t realize how closely I would have to watch the construction process. There have been a ton of small issues, but the worst part was that the construction company was cutting corners when building the foundation on a sloped parcel. This caused huge structural issues later. After I saw that things would not move forward, I hired mandracchio. They saved me, coordinated experts and lawyers and helped me get through this. In the end it took us some time, but at least I got my money back and was able to save the house

Strategic assets structuring under an international trust
We assisted an HNI relocating to Croatia. We guided the purchase of a family home, coordinated the transfer of yachts and other assets into a Croatian company, and structured the subsequent transfer of that company into a Liechtenstein trust with their legal team. This ensured compliance, optimized ownership, and provided a secure long-term framework as the family settled.
For us it was essential that we have someone local whom we can trust. With Šime and his team, we had much more than that. We got real experts that took initiative and worked with our lawyers to get a stable structure that ensures that my families assets are secure
