KSB Represents Dagmar Havlová in Entry of New Investor into Lucerna Palace
Dagmar Dubecká, Martin Šolc and Ota Mach advised Dáša Havlová (the wife of the late Ivan Havel, brother of former President Václav Havel) on transferring Lucerna Palace and assisted her with involving a new investor, BTL Healthcare Technologies, a Czech manufacturing company engaged in the production of medical and cosmetic products.
As part of the newly created structure, Lucerna Palace was incorporated into Palác PL, in which BTL now holds a 75% stake, with the remaining quarter owned by Ms. Havlová. Thanks to BTL's investment and Dáša Havlová's unwavering enthusiasm and passion, Lucerna is set to continue the renovation work already underway, including the restoration of the historic balustrades on the roof terraces, which will be used for social events, and the restoration of the part facing Štěpánská Street.

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.
