Top Legal Aces Behind Czech Republic’s Most Successful Business Deals: Forbes Ranking

Behind the scenes of Czech business, lawyers are involved in almost all the success stories you read about on the Forbes website. For the third time, we are therefore bringing a unique overview of the largest law firms and their legal aces.

The work of lawyers is a mirror of business, and this year’s overview of top law firms and deals also proves, among other things, what successes domestic businessmen and women can achieve.

The multibillion-dollar sale of Meopta from Přerov, a world leader in the field of optics, the majority transfer of the Czech platform GoOut into Estonian hands, or the closely watched exit of the Kijonk founders from the giant Packet. All of these are examples of entrepreneurial epics that hide the essence of Czech business between the lines.

All of these stories have something in common – behind the scenes there were legal figures whose names you will find on the following pages, lawyers who are among the absolute best in the field.

There are many angles from which advocacy can be viewed. Many legal professionals see their profession as a service to the public, others mainly as a service to clients, whose satisfaction reflects the quality of the lawyer.

However, Forbes is all about business. That is why we also look at lawyers through the lens of business. At the same time, our overview has a considerable ambition – to bring a transparent picture of the increasingly complex legal market and to develop and cultivate domestic business and the legal environment.

It is no coincidence that the names of the law firms selected by us regularly appear among those that are most often mentioned by the most successful people in the country during joint discussions.

This is also why we compile a regular overview based on solid data. We monitor the overall results of the offices for past financial periods and their contribution to the domestic business environment, i.e. transactions that would not have taken place without them last year.

We also ask the businessmen and businesswomen themselves, and we consult all the data directly with office owners, lawyers and industry experts.

Even here, however, we encounter obstacles. Legal work is indeed a mirror of business, but its reflection is sometimes obscured and often cautious. Therefore, not all law firms transparently publish their financial statements, others are waiting for the auditor’s final stamp. Likewise, the space in which they can talk about work for their clients is limited.

Nevertheless, Forbes spoke with all of them and brings a unique insight into the Czech legal profession. These are the lawyers who stand behind the business you read about on the pages of Forbes.
