We believe that prevention is the best form of dispute resolution. To know how to control costs, schedules, quality and safety is of paramount importance in a fast-changing global marketplace. Aiming to ensure adequate legal tools are put in place, we assist clients expanding into new markets, moving operations overseas or otherwise transacting across borders. Likewise, we act for foreign investors intending to do or already doing business in the Czech Republic, or for their Czech business partners.  

From initial planning to the closing of the transaction, we support clients throughout the negotiation process, draft deeds and advise on related issues, be it the investment protection, compliance, governance, employment, international sanctions, state aid, tax, accounting and akin.

Reflecting the complex nature of international business, we regularly work for our clients as legal advisors or liaison counsel, collaborating closely with co-counsel admitted in the concerned foreign countries.
