Overview

Our Prague office advises clients on some of the most complex transactions in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Central European region. Those transactions include representing Czech energy holding company EPH in its purchase of a 49% stake in Slovak gas utility SPP for CZK 66.5 billion (US$2.8 billion). We also advised Czech beverage company Kofola Group on its restructuring, public offering and listings on the Prague and Warsaw Stock Exchanges, which raised CZK 765 million (US$31 million).

As one of the leading international law firms in the country, we work closely with our colleagues around the world to offer first-class advice to domestic and foreign multinationals and financial institutions. The quality of our work is reflected in the recognition we receive from leading legal directories. Our Banking & Finance, Capital Markets, Corporate and M&A, Dispute Resolution, and Tax practices are ranked Tier 1 by Legal 500 EMEA.

Complementing our work on major transactions, we are also market leaders in Intellectual Property and Technology, Media & Telecommunications, both of which are ranked Tier 1 by Chambers Europe. Our Czech lawyers have broad experience advising clients in rapidly-evolving areas of law and leverage their local knowledge and global perspective to help clients achieve their business objectives.
