Hoxha, Memi & Hoxha

What Hoxha, Memi & Hoxha does

Hoxha, Memi and Hoxha (HM&H) is an independent Albanian business law firm headquartered in Tirana, founded in 2003 by three internationally-trained lawyers. The firm operates a full-service practice organized around six service lines — Advisory, Transactions, Drafting, Reviews, Procedures, and Disputes — with domain specialization in corporate and finance law, mergers and acquisitions, competition, banking and insurance regulation, energy and natural resources, intellectual property, data protection, and dispute resolution. HM&H has no disclosed proprietary technology platforms; service delivery is partner-led and built on individual client relationships.

The firm's stated focus is advising foreign investors entering or operating in Albania. Client references include banking groups, insurance companies, energy companies, and renowned international corporations, plus the Albanian government and international institutions on legal reform. Revenue is generated through professional services billing, typically engagement-based or hourly, with the firm having supported energy project transactions exceeding hundreds of millions of euros. In October 2024 the firm promoted three senior associates to Partner, expanding the partnership from the three founders to six partners.

Distribution is direct and partner-managed, with credibility established through top-tier rankings in Legal500 (Leading Firm), Chambers (Band 1) and IFLR1000 (Tier 1), and through membership in regional networks — the South East Legal Alliance (SELA) and the Grimaldi Alliance — which provide cross-border coverage across South East Europe, Italy, the UK, Brussels, and New York. With 11–50 employees based in Tirana and a specialized enterprise client base, the firm depends on regulatory expertise, sector knowledge, and the international training of its lawyers as primary competitive assets.
