- Compliance
- Corporate/M&A
- Dispute Resolution
- Employment
- Projects&Energy
- Tax
Pavel Dejl has once again defended his position as one of the leading experts in the Czech Republic in the field of Dispute Resolution as well as Competition/Antitrust, with clients recommending him with the words "a great expert in competition law who always brings ideas and helps reach a successful decision."
Also this year, KSB's tax team with Helena Navrátilová as a key expert in tax advisory ("Helena Navrátilová is very much able to think innovatively and outside the box") is praised as unrivalled.
In the Corporate/M&A category, the yearbook highlights the highly experienced team led by Dagmar Dubecká ("She is proactive and a great expert with great knowledge.") and Martin Šolc ("If he does something, it is always to achieve a goal."), who is included in the prestigious Eminent Practitioner category.
Martin Krejčí is recognised in the Banking&Finance category and Vlastimil Pihera in the Capital Markets category ("He has very good knowledge of bond issuances and benefits from good connections with the authorities too.").
In Projects&Energy, partners Václav Rovenský ("He has significant experience with large construction projects.") and Tomáš Sequens ("He is skilful, and oriented in legal regulations valid specifically for our type of business.") are recommended.
Associate Michal Hanuš, who specializes in employment law, has been newly included in the yearbook ("...enters the rankings on the back of positive feedback from clients.").
The Chambers Europe Yearbook is the result of an analysis of a number of criteria, with the greatest weight given to the experience and opinions of law firm clients themselves. We would therefore like to thank them in particular for their long-standing trust and positive feedback on our work.

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.
