KSB announced as Leading Law Firm in Corporate Law
This survey is organized by EPRAVO.CZ under the professional auspices of the Czech Bar Association. Its objective is to compile an objective ranking of leading law firms operating on the Czech legal services market on the basis of an independent survey of law firms. More than forty law firms were involved in the first year of the survey. One of the conditions of voting was that individual law firms could not nominate themselves.
KSB not only won the title of leading law firm in corporate law, but was also nominated among the first five law firms in the category of mergers & acquisitions as well as in the category of public procurement.
KSB partner Dagmar Dubecká, whose principal specializations include corporate law and mergers & acquisitions, said when receiving the award on behalf of KSB: “We appreciate this award very much since the assessment method reflects how our firm is perceived by other law firms. We are pleased that competitors consider us as experts in this field.”
KSB partner Jan Dědič, a recognized expert in the field of corporate law, added: “We consider this recognition in the field of corporate law as appreciation of our long-term involvement in this legal discipline, since members of our law firm have been active, inter alia, in the development of corporate legislation and legislative drafting.”
The results of the survey Leading Law Firm of the Year 2008 were announced on 10 November 2008 at a gala evening at the Marriott Hotel in Prague which was attended by representatives of judicial bodies, professional organizations and prominent figures of the Czech legal scene.
In 2008 KSB has been awarded the title of leading law firm repeatedly, including when it won the Czech Republic’s Law Firm of the Year Award for the third time in row, based on the assessment of independent rating institution Who’s Who Legal, and received the title of National Law Firm of the Year, Czech Republic in the first year of Chambers Europe Awards for Excellence.

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.
