HAVEL & PARTNERS, the largest and most successful Czech-Slovak law firm, has followed up on last year’s economic results with its turnover for net legal services in the first half of 2021 increasing by 7.2% year-on-year. Particularly HAVEL & PARTNERS’ Bratislava office showed brisk growth

Last year, HAVEL & PARTNERS’ revenues in the Czech Republic grew by more than 6.5% year-on-year and the entire Group’s revenues exceeded CZK 1 billion again. In the first half of this year, revenues for net legal services in the Czech Republic and Slovakia amounted to CZK 414 million; the Group’s total revenues thus amounted to more than CZK 520 million. The Slovak office performed very well, with net legal services revenues growing by almost 16%. “The economic results of our law firm, with growth of over 7%, indicate that we have managed to maintain the positive trend of high growth from previous periods. Growth accelerated in the last two months of the first half of the year and we expect this trend to continue with the ongoing easing of restrictions adopted in the context of the coronavirus pandemic,” said Jaroslav Havel, the firm’s managing partner.

HAVEL & PARTNERS’ revenues have been growing continuously since the firm was founded in 2001. This is mainly due to the provision of legal services to leading Czech, Slovak and international companies, and Czech and Slovak entrepreneurs, including approximately one third of the richest Czechs and Slovaks. Mergers and acquisitions, legal and tax structuring of private assets, and real estate projects remain key advisory areas, and the advisory groups specialising in restructurings and insolvencies and in litigation and arbitration also continue to grow.

The international reputation of HAVEL & PARTNERS and related cooperation with foreign law firms, which increasingly involve the firm in large comprehensive international projects and cross-border transactions, also contributed to the excellent economic results.
