Assistance to Solitea in the acquisition of Mainstream

KŠB (partner Drahomír Tomašuk and lawyer Ján Béreš) assisted Solitea in the acquisition of a 100% stake in Mainstream Technologies, s.r.o. and its parent company Powerstream, a.s., being one of the most important partners of the global technology company Microsoft in their branch of business. For Solitea, this is the seventh acquisition of a major partner of Microsoft.

Our advice consisted primarily in conducting due diligence of Mainstream and Powerstream, preparing and negotiating acquisition documentation, and assessing the competitive aspects of the entire transaction.

Mainstream has been on the market for more than 15 years and provides, for example, consulting for communication and collaboration, assistance with digital transformation and adoption, design and implementation of hybrid cloud infrastructure and cyber security consulting from evaluation to implementation of security solutions using artificial intelligence.

Solitea employs over 1,000 employees in seven countries and has over 260,000 customers in 15 countries in the European region, and has long been one of the fastest growing IT companies in the region. In recent years, Solitea has made a number of significant acquisitions of IT companies with the assistance of KŠB (e.g. Altus software, Aquasoft, Axiom, BI Experts, CDL SYSTEM, Clever Decision, D3Soft, Dotykačka, Dynamica, GEMMA Systems, or Vema).

For more information, see Solitea's press release here (only in Czech).

Evidence skutečných majitelů: Co přinese znepřístupnění od 17. prosince 2025?

Letošní rozhodnutí Nejvyššího soudu a Nejvyššího správního soudu navázala na rozsudky Soudního dvora Evropské unie, a, s platností i pro Českou republiku, konstatovala, že zveřejňování údajů v rámci evidence skutečných majitelů představuje nepřiměřený zásah do základních práv majitelů na soukromí a ochranu osobních údajů. Důležitým aspektem těchto rozhodnutí byl závěr, že sankce, které postihují povinné subjekty jako reakce na nesplnění jejich povinnosti zápisu do evidence skutečných majitelů, není možné vymáhat, dokud je evidence veřejná.

Tato situace se změní 17. prosince 2025, kdy ministerstvo znepřístupní evidenci skutečných majitelů; povinným subjektům tak budou opět hrozit závažné sankce.

30th Advent Concert for the Committee of Good Will – Olga Havlová Foundation

This year again, during the pre-Christmas season, the Advent Concert of Good Will took place. Since 1995, it has been organised by the law firm Kocián Šolc Balaštík in support of the Committee of Good Will – Olga Havlová Foundation. This was already the 30th anniversary edition, made exceptional by the fact that we organised it for the first time together with our partner, Smetanova Litomyšl, as part of a broader mutual cooperation. As always, the concert was held in the concert hall of the Church of Sts. Simon and Jude in Prague’s Old Town.
