Complex projects across the CEE region
We have close working-relationships with colleagues from across the CEE region and with partner law firms in neighbouring countries. The firm's reach in the region is further expanded by foreign law desks, such as our Prague-based Slovak desk which features a team of lawyers with expert knowledge and practical experience of Slovak law. Widely recognised as a leading law firm on the Czech market, we are ranked by the most respected legal directories as a top tier firm in the key legal disciplines on which we primarily focus.
