Our Expertise
M&A Whether you are planning a merger, a company acquisition or sale, business expansion, or business exit, a properly structured transaction is the key to achieving the best possible outcome. Our M&A practice draws on experience from domestic and cross-border transactions, including demergers and mergers of companies, and covers structured financing, due diligence, competition law and real estate assessments, restructurings, SPAs, SHAs, or MBO/MBI projects. Real estate and property law The real estate market has a distinctive position, and construction, ownership or sale of real estate can be complex matters involving a number of legal and commercial risks. Our real estate team focuses on real estate transactions, including legal audits, acquisitions, disposals, leases, development projects, financing, construction law, zoning and building permit proceedings, property management and facility/asset management. Litigation and Arbitration When you find yourself in litigation, arbitration or a similarly legally demanding situation, you need a decisive and confident partner by your side. In litigation and arbitral proceedings, we represent clients before domestic and foreign courts, in civil and commercial disputes, administrative proceedings and before national and international arbitration institutions. We also devote significant attention to pre-litigation negotiations (how to prevent court proceedings). Defence and Security Defence and security is one of the sectors where legal certainty, regulation and strategic responsibility meet in every decision. Our practice in defence and security sector regulation covers public procurement and tenders, classification of weapons and dual-use goods, export control, foreign direct investment and the impacts of the NIS2 Directive. Commercial law and corporate law Whether you are incorporating a new company, expanding an existing business or undergoing a corporate transformation, a high-quality legal framework is the foundation of secure growth. In commercial and corporate law, we help successfully resolve matters such as holding and shareholder structures, contracts for Czech and foreign investors, SPAs, SHAs, mergers (including demergers and mergers by absorption) and acquisitions, squeeze-outs, corporate changes, contractual relationships and MBO/MBI projects. Energy and energy law The dynamically changing energy sector, where regulation, investment, technology and geopolitics intersect, requires experience and market knowledge. In energy law, we are an established adviser in the CEE region (Czech Republic, Slovakia, Bulgaria and Romania). Our work covers conventional energy, renewable energy, regulation of the energy sector and representing multinational energy corporations, regulatory authorities and private investors. Banking and finance Finance drives business, which is why it is important to understand not only the law, but also the commercial substance of financing. Our banking and finance practice covers bank loans, syndicated financing, security for financing, specific banking products, acquisition finance, refinancing of loans, project finance, funds, bonds, fund structures (SICAVs) and other financial transactions for corporate and private clients. ICT, IT law and digitalisation Behind every successful digital product is not only a good idea, but also properly structured legal protection. Our ICT and IT practice covers software development, licensing, copyright, protection of digital products, SaaS and cloud solutions, product launches, digitalisation and related regulation. Our experience is used by start-ups, medium-sized businesses and multinational technology companies. Insolvency & restructuring Financial difficulties, insolvency or corporate restructuring require quick decisions, a precise legal strategy and protection of key interests. Our insolvency and restructuring practice covers insolvency solutions, insolvency petitions, claims management, defence against vexatious petitions, corporate and financial restructuring, reorganisation, and representation of debtors and creditors, banks, financial institutions, holding groups and medium-sized businesses, including court representation at every stage of insolvency proceedings. Intellectual property In the knowledge economy, protecting ideas, brands, technologies and other intangible assets is key to the long-term value of a business. Our intellectual property work combines industrial property law, registration of trademarks, designs and patent portfolios, copyright, licences, software distribution, cloud computing, SaaS and protection of web domains, including proceedings before the Industrial Property Office and EURid. Other legal services Business and other activities give rise to legal questions that often go beyond a single specialisation and require quick orientation in a broader context. Alongside our main areas, we also focus on employment law, competition protection, public procurement, administrative law, debt recovery, GDPR, AML, compliance, corporate governance, whistleblowing, cyber protection, PPP projects, transport and telecommunications law, consumer protection, church restitution and energy regulation, including renewable resources.
