ESTABLISHMENT OF THE OFFICE

With a view to delivering its legal services to clients in the Moravia region, HAVEL & PARTNERS, as the first leading Prague-based law firm, established an office in Brno in 2009. The Brno office is the principal point of contact for clients not only from the South Moravia Region, but also from the broader territory of south and central Moravia and the Vysočina Region.

OUR LEGAL TEAM

The legal team of the Brno office currently consists of more than 45 lawyers, coordinated by partners Jaroslav Havel, Robert Neruda and Štěpán Štarha. The legal team includes experts in competition law and public procurement law and more than 70 employees specialising in debt administration and enforcement.

The Brno office provides legal advice in all specialized areas; advice on comprehensive transactions, usually with an international element; advice on complex judicial, arbitration and administrative proceedings; and advice on competition. It represents clients before the Office for the Protection of Competition and the judicial authorities seated in Brno.

The Brno office is fully supported by the Prague office with respect to management and know-how, and during complicated transactions, specialists from the Prague team as well as expert translators and other professionals are always engaged according to need.

OUR CLIENTS

Currently, HAVEL & PARTNERS has approximately 100 clients in south and central Moravia and the Vysočina Region, and according to publicly available information it is thus the largest law firm in Moravia. The office provides services not only to clients from all over Moravia but also from the Moravian-Silesian Region (a total of approx. 150 clients). These clients are active in the region’s traditional industries, e.g. privatised industrial heavy engineering enterprises, major construction companies, public sector institutions, rapidly growing private IT, manufacturing, trade and service companies and foreign investors newly entering the region, especially from the United States, Germany, Austria and Asia.

The Brno office of HAVEL & PARTNERS actively contributes to the development of investment in the South Moravian region in cooperation with state institutions, public authorities, and business associations.
