The prestigious rating organisation Who's Who Legal, sponsored by Lexology, announced the winners of this year's Who's Who Legal Awards at a gala event in London on 9 November. HAVEL & PARTNERS has added another win to its previous five ones in the Czech Republic and has once again become the best law firm in the domestic market according to the ranking.

At the beginning of September, for the fourth consecutive year, HAVEL & PARTNERS also won the Best Client Services and the Best Domestic Law Firm categories in the Law Firm of the Year competition in the Czech Republic, which it is now following up with success on the international stage.

"As much as it may seem that every other winning in legal competitions is a matter of course for us, the opposite is true. We are aware of the continuous professional work of all the members of the firm behind these achievements. I would therefore like to thank the entire team, as well as of course all clients and business partners. And because we always want to provide the highest possible level of legal services in all circumstances, we will continue to pursue every new challenge and assignment from our clients with the same determination and perseverance in the future," said Jaroslav Havel, managing partner of the firm.

The Who's Who Legal Awards annually recognise the best legal experts and law firms in more than 35 practice area categories and 75 jurisdictions. The winning law firms were selected by Who's Who Legal based on several criteria - primarily feedback from clients and other competitors in the market, as well as professional references, breadth and depth of legal specialisations, and among others, the number of attorneys listed as individuals in the WWL Thought Leaders individual rankings.

Who's Who Legal has been mapping leading law firms, consultancies and individual professionals in its analyses and publications since 1996.
