Regional players

• Tonucci & Partners: Tonucci & Partners is an Italian-origin law firm with offices in Albania (Tirana) and the broader Balkans, advising on cross-border M&A, energy, infrastructure, and regulatory matters. It is a regional peer with a comparable Italy-Albania corridor focus and competes with Tashko Pustina for mandates with Italian corporates and IFIs in the Albanian market.

Broad incumbents

• Schoenherr: Schoenherr is a major Central European law firm with a deep SEE practice covering Albania, Kosovo, and the broader Balkans, advising on corporate, banking, energy, and infrastructure matters. It is a regional incumbent competing for the cross-border mandates Tashko Pustina targets and represents the kind of international firm that can displace local firms on lead mandates.
• DLA Piper: DLA Piper is a global law firm with an active SEE practice and prior co-engagement with Tashko Pustina on renewable energy matters. It is a broad incumbent whose extensive Balkans platform can absorb mandates that might otherwise be led by smaller local firms, making it both a competitor and a potential collaboration partner for the firm going forward.
• Dentons: Dentons is the world's largest global law firm with a polycentric platform covering the Balkans and advising on M&A, energy, banking, and infrastructure across SEE. As a broad incumbent, it is both a competitor and a referral partner for Tashko Pustina on large cross-border mandates where local Albanian law input is required.
• Wolf Theiss: Wolf Theiss is a leading Central and Eastern European law firm with long-standing offices in Albania and across the SEE region, advising on cross-border M&A, banking, energy, and project finance. It is a broader incumbent that competes with Tashko Pustina for the same regional M&A, IFI-led financing, and energy mandates — frequently the lead counsel to whom local firms play local-counsel role.
• CMS Reich-Rohrwig Hainz: CMS is a top-tier European law firm with full-service offices across SEE, advising multinationals and IFIs on M&A, banking, energy, and infrastructure projects. It competes with Tashko Pustina on the same regional mandates — particularly the larger cross-border transactions and IFI-led financings where the firm has its strongest track record.

• Hoxha, Memi & Hoxha: Hoxha, Memi & Hoxha is a Tirana-based full-service commercial law firm advising on M&A, banking and finance, energy, and regulatory matters in Albania.

Emerging players

• ECIJA: ECIJA is a Spain-headquartered law firm with a growing presence in the Balkans, including Albania, advising on TMT, energy, and cross-border transactions.
