HAVEL & PARTNERS and three of the firm’s lawyers have been included in the reputable international research directory World Trademark Review 1000 for the second time in a row. This chart monitors major IP law firms and individual practitioners in more than 80 countries worldwide. The firm’s partners Robert Nešpůrek and Ivan Rámeš and senior associate Tereza Hrabáková are again cited by the publication among the best IP advisory experts.

Ivan Rámeš, the firm’s IP practice group head and one of the awarded practitioners said in this connection: “We are glad that also in 2020 our law firm and its lawyers remain in the most prestigious group of IP experts. This, in our opinion, confirms the high quality of our consistent work in the field of IP and trademarks. This achievement walks hand in hand with the continuous expansion of our team, which would not be possible without satisfied clients and a growing number of interesting matters we deal with not only in the Czech Republic but also internationally. We are happy about the ever-increasing amount of IP work, which is not only thanks to our clients but also because of consistently built cooperation with international law firms.”

HAVEL & PARTNERS’ IP practice group consists of seventeen experienced lawyers making it the largest expert advisory team in this field on the Czech and Slovak markets. Its clients include local companies expanding abroad, major global corporations, entrepreneurs fighting against counterfeiting and also promising technological start-ups dealing with issues of legal protection for innovative ideas. The firm provides its clients with comprehensive services offering protection of IP rights, copyright advice, portfolio management for industrial rights or advice on unfair competition, domain disputes and e-commerce.

None of these achievements would be possible without close cooperation with the firm’s experts in other related practice areas such as competition, corporate, consumer and marketing law and tax advice. This comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach allows HAVEL & PARTNERS to provide their clients with everything needed for effective IP protection from simple tasks such as registration of industrial rights and enforcement to strategic IP advice, including representation in administrative and judicial proceedings.
