Pavel Dejl maintains his position as one of the leading experts in the Czech Republic in two categories – litigation and competition. Pavel’s clients recommend him as follows: “Through his litigation as well as his negotiation skills, he can lead the parties to an amicable solution, even in hopeless cases.”
KSB’s tax team is once again described as unrivalled, and tax partner Helena Navrátilová is listed as a key expert in this area (“an amazing woman with really high knowledge in tax matters”).
In the category of corporate law / mergers and acquisitions, the yearbook highlights a highly experienced team led by Dagmar Dubecká (“She is a tough lawyer who provides useful support to her clients”) and Martin Šolc, who is recommended by Chambers in the prestigious Eminent Practitioner category.
Martin Krejčí is a recognized expert in the field of banking, and his clients appreciate his “broad expertise, knowledge, communication and diligence”. In the category of capital markets, the yearbook highlights Vlastimil Pihera for his, among other things, “very deep technical knowledge of the topics”.
In the field of energy, the recommended experts are partner Václav Rovenský (“…undertakes regulatory and transactional mandates for clients in industries including mining and waste incineration“) and counsel Tomáš Sequens (“He is adept in development projects in the mining and waste disposal sectors.”).

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.
