KSB Advises on Establishing Eva Pavlová’s and Václav Cigler’s Endowment Funds

Two trust funds – Eva Pavlová’s Endowment Fund and Václav Cigler’s Endowment Fund – have been set up with KŠB’s assistance (Vlastimil Pihera and Jana Guričová with the support of Hana Heroldová and Milada Kürtösiová).

While Czech First Lady Eva Pavlová’s Endowment Fund is focused on philanthropic projects which support families, Václav Cigler’s Endowment Fund is primarily dedicated to the artistic legacy of Václav Cigler, one of the most significant contemporary Czech sculptors and architects. Both projects were exceptional in terms of the personalities of their founders, as well as their purpose and broader social significance.

We are pleased to have had the opportunity to provide advice on these projects and wish them every success in achieving their goals.

Suburbanization Trends and Sustainable Commuting: Will the Construction Act Amendment Change the Landscape?

The discussion surrounding the current proposal to amend the Construction Act (Parliamentary Print 67) has moved to the committee stage in the Chamber of Deputies following its first reading. The primary declared objective is the acceleration of construction, particularly regarding residential buildings. The shortage of affordable housing remains a pressing issue in major cities, both in the Czech Republic and abroad, giving rise to the pervasive trend of suburbanization. This raises the question: does the proposed amendment truly have the ambition to reverse this trend, and will an increase in housing construction alone suffice?
