The Leading Law Firms | 2019 | 317

Advokátní kancelář Pokorný, Wagner & partneři, s.r.o. The Prague-based law firm Pokorný, Wagner & Partners, Attorneys-at-law, has been offering legal services to its clients at a high professional standard with regard to the laws of the Czech Republic and to EU law since 1996. The standard of its activities, which was introduced from the very outset, is the provision of comprehensive legal services and advice related to business activities for prominent domestic and foreign clients. The prerequisite for such focus was the formation of a highly professional and experienced team of lawyers, their specialisation and coordination in individual branches of law. We are one of the leading renowned and established law firms in the Czech Republic. We currently engage more than 40 lawyers with long-term legal practice, forming specialised teams, capable of providing to clients accurately focused advice at the highest level, customised to their specific needs. We provide our legal services not only to clients operating in the Czech Republic but also ensure (through our foreign partner legal firms) the required legal service to Czech and foreign clients in various jurisdictions throughout the world, which is appreciated by our clients particularly in transactions and disputes encompassing several jurisdictions at a time, including e.g. uncovering offshore companies, etc. An elementary skill of all lawyers at the firm is to provide comprehensive legal advice in English.

As regards our professional specialisation, we provide services almost in all areas of commercial, civil and administrative law, primarily on mergers and acquisitions, private equity, corporate law and restructuring, litigation and commercial arbitration, public procurement, competition, public aid and unfair competition, ICT and outsourcing law, intellectual property including software law, advertising, personal data protection, labour law, financial law and AML issues, energy, real estate and construction industry. Comprehensive services are also naturally provided in the field of EU law (such as economic competition, public aid, public procurement, trademarks, regulation of trade and services, personal data protection, electronic communications, antidumping measures, etc.), including representation in proceedings conducted before the European Commission and the European Court of Justice. The procedures applied by us in legal matters rely on thorough knowledge of business activities and the needs of clients, which enables us to offer efficient, appropriate and effective solutions. The key objective is to provide highly specialised and, at the same time, immediate legal assistance that exactly matches specific client needs.
