Dear Clients and Business Partners,
HAVEL & PARTNERS is celebrating 20 years and a special edition of our H&P Magazine is dedicated to this anniversary. The issue is available HERE as well as in a completely new ONLINE version. We would like to use this opportunity to share our memories and values with you, remind you of the pillars of our success, as well as to bring you our clients’ highly inspiring achievements, inform you about our future plans and thank you for your support.
When establishing the firm in 2001, we were determined to build a top law firm based on an international model that would offer a comprehensive legal service. Yet we never thought that in 20 years we would be the largest law firm in central Europe with 2,500 clients and a turnover in the millions of euros. The fact that we have managed to build a world-renowned firm is mainly due to our ability to respond immediately to the needs of the market and our clients. Over the last 20 years, the economy and society as a whole have experienced dynamic changes, which we have always seen as a new opportunity and adapted to immediately.
The dynamics of the first 20 years of the new millennium are summarised mainly in the three areas of our practice that are key for the firm’s future. You can read about the turbulent changes affecting real estate, but also about private equity and venture capital, which make a major contribution to the economic growth of the entire CEE region. And we also describe how economic developments have transformed the protection and management of private wealth.
One of the other pillars of our success has been our exceptional relationship with our clients who entrust us with their business and private affairs. We are proud that these include some of the most successful companies across all sectors, from whom we also have much to learn as they have also achieved global success. Therefore, we bring you the inspiring stories of our long-term strategic partners, with whom we have been growing together for many years in line with our motto “Connected through Success”.
The Magazine also brings a number of other interesting articles, comments and interviews related to the HAVEL & PARTNERS brand, which I believe you will find though-provoking and enjoyable in many respects.
In conclusion, I would like to thank all of you for helping us write this extraordinary story. Thank you for your support, loyalty and trust that motivate us to continuously improve, look ahead and continue to widen our lead over competitors as the leader in the Czech and Slovak legal markets.
I wish you a lovely summer.
Kind regards,
Jaroslav Havel
Managing Partner
