VIENNA, November 9, 2026 — Austrian private intelligence company FOREUS has announced a strategic partnership with Slavijus, a Vienna-based law firm led by attorney Mag. Slaviša Žeželj, LL.M., bringing together intelligence gathering, corporate investigations and legal services.
Under the agreement, FOREUS will provide intelligence collection, investigative analysis and factual assessments, while Slavijus will contribute legal advice and representation. The partnership aims to help clients establish reliable, legally relevant information before making critical business decisions or pursuing legal proceedings.
“Law needs truth. Together with Slavijus, we create the factual basis on which clients can make decisions with confidence,” said Stefan Johannes Embacher, CEO of FOREUS.
Connecting Intelligence and Legal Expertise
The cooperation addresses a challenge in complex corporate and international disputes: legal strategies often depend on information that must first be identified, verified and properly documented.
FOREUS specializes in corporate intelligence, asset tracing, financial investigations, open-source intelligence (OSINT) and litigation support. Its capabilities include investigating corporate ownership structures, identifying connections between individuals and entities, and analyzing potential financial and reputational risks.
Slavijus focuses on corporate law, international law, real estate and contract law, including company formations and cross-border transactions involving the European Union and Southeast Europe. The firm provides legal services in German, English, Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian.
For organizations operating across multiple jurisdictions, the combination of investigative intelligence and legal expertise is particularly relevant to due diligence, commercial disputes and complex cross-border business relationships.
FOREUS Expands Its European Network
The partnership comes as FOREUS continues to strengthen its presence across Central and Southeast Europe.
In October, the Vienna-headquartered company established a subsidiary in Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina, as part of its broader regional expansion strategy.
The agreement with Slavijus adds a legal cooperation partner with expertise in international business and transactions involving Southeast Europe, complementing FOREUS' existing intelligence and investigative capabilities.
