KŠB Sponsors 19th Annual Student Research and Professional Activities Competition at Charles University’s Faculty of Law
Kocián Šolc Balaštík was once again a partner of the Student Scientific and Professional Activities (SVOČ) competition at Charles University’s Faculty of Law. The awards ceremony for the 19th annual competition took place on June 11, 2026, with students, academics, and competition partners in attendance.
SVOČ ranks among many long-standing academic competitions which support the professional and scholarly activities of master’s and doctoral students. This year’s edition featured a number of high-quality papers across various fields of law—from constitutional, civil, and commercial law through international and European law to criminal law, legal history, and legal theory.
At the awards ceremony, KŠB was represented by attorney Kateřina Štěpánková, who presented awards to the most successful contestants on behalf of the firm.
The SVOČ competition has long served as an important platform for showcasing talented students and young lawyers. As supporting legal education and the next generation of lawyers is one of our long-term priorities, we are pleased to sponsor projects that foster professional discourse, academic excellence, and students’ interest in a deeper study of legal topics.
We congratulate the winners and thank the Faculty of Law at Charles University for its cooperation and all participants for their outstanding work and dedication.
