HAVEL & PARTNERS, the largest independent law firm in Central Europe, has again achieved excellent economic results for the previous year. The firm’s total turnover in 2023 was CZK 1,183 million. Revenue from net legal and tax services in the Czech Republic and Slovakia grew by 16.4%. Profit grew at a similarly fast double-digit pace. Based on preliminary results, the turnover of the entire group, which also includes the Cash Collectors collection agency and other specialised services, exceeded CZK 1,500 million.

The strongly positive trend has been boosted in particular by the economic performance of the firm’s practice groups dedicated to venture capital, technology law and public procurement. Besides, practice groups handling banking and finance, restructuring and insolvency, and dispute resolution have grown as well. Last year, legal and tax services for private clients were in extraordinary demand, including in particular advice related to professional management, protection and administration of assets. This also entails a significant expansion of the portfolio of such services in the form of the establishment of ONE FAMILY OFFICE, a multi-family office offering comprehensive services for high-net-worth clients.

“Once again, last year brought many changes, uncertainties and challenges from an economic perspective, to which we had to respond quickly and effectively,” said Jaroslav Havel, managing partner. “These aspects have a direct impact on the business, while our task has been and will continue to be to focus fully on our clients’ current needs and their nuances. This is the only way we can achieve high economic figures,” he added.

The success of HAVEL & PARTNERS and the high standard of the firm’s services are further underlined by the numerous awards it has won, including the most prestigious domestic titles of the Law Firm of the Year 2023 for local law firm and Law Firm of the Year 2023 for the best client services. Last year, the firm also ranked first in the Slovak Law Firm of the Year competition as the best international law firm. With a total of more than fifty awards in the Czech and Slovak competitions, HAVEL & PARTNERS is the most successful and comprehensive law firm in the Czech Republic.
