Our practice focuses on M&A, banking & finance, real estate, PPP, public procurement, telecom, media and technology, energy, competition, litigation and arbitration. We have gained particular experience in restructuring of companies, mergers and acquisitions, as well as other corporate transactions, providing legal advice to banks and other financial institutions. We have helped to shape the PPP sector in Slovakia and we retain a leading position in this field. We have a strong position in the real estate sector providing advice to the top international and local players. Since the automotive industry is a robust and important sector of the Slovak economy, our activities in this area are extensive and still growing. We advise all car manufacturers with operations in Slovakia and many of their suppliers and related businesses.

Based on many years’ supporting the leading companies across all sectors of the economy, we are familiar with their business and the legal and regulatory issues they face, offering relevant and practical solutions.
