HAVEL & PARTNERS, the largest independent law firm in Central Europe, has been ranked among the TOP 100 most valuable companies under Czech ownership according to the Czech Elite ranking. The ranking has been compiled for the second time by the editorial team of Seznam Zprávy in collaboration with Deloitte. Recently, the prestigious advisory firm Patria valued the HAVEL & PARTNERS Group at over 3.3 billion CZK. The results were announced at a gala event on Tuesday, 12 November, in the historic Fanta hall at Prague’s main railway station.
According to an analysis conducted this year by Patria Corporate Finance, HAVEL & PARTNERS, including its Slovak office and training Academy, is worth approximately 2.8 billion CZK. The entire group, which also includes the debt collection agency Cash Collectors and other specialised entities, is worth over 3.3 billion CZK. Given these figures, HAVEL & PARTNERS ranked 99th on the Czech Elite list. However, this valuation was made before the establishment of ONE FAMILY OFFICE, officially founded on 1 January 2024, which has increased the overall value of the group significantly.
“The high figures from the 2023 valuation and our position in the TOP 100 of the Czech Elite ranking are proof of our exceptional economic stability and position in the domestic legal market, as well as the continuous growth and development of our entire group. This includes our service portfolio, technological innovations, and especially our financial results. Being ranked among the top in Czech business confirms that we are one of the most stable players in the market,” commented Jaroslav Havel, managing partner of the firm.
HAVEL & PARTNERS, the largest Czech-Slovak law firm, opened a representative office in Frankfurt earlier this year in May. The firm’s exceptional economic results and successful management are further recognised by the AAA Bisnode certificate of outstanding credibility, awarded by Dun & Bradstreet agency. The certificate places the firm among companies with consistently excellent financial results in the market.
This year’s Czech Elite ranking features both well-established companies with deep historical roots and a number of start-ups founded in recent years. The editorial team at Seznam Zprávy compiled a broad sample of entities using databases from Deloitte, competitive rankings, and their own data and insights into the domestic business landscape. The team considered two main criteria: the predominance of domestic capital among the owners and sufficient size.
