Attorney-at-law Hana Erbsová, who has been a part of the legal-tax team at HAVEL & PARTNERS since last year, has won the prestigious competition Tax Advisor & Tax Firm of the Year. Top experts from the area of tax and tax law elected her Tax Advisor of the Year in the Tax Administration category.

"I very much appreciate the fact that Hanka is part of the HAVEL & PARTNERS team, and I sincerely congratulate her on her well-deserved victory in the competition," said the firm’s tax partner David Krch. "She is an experienced professional who has brought know-how from the supreme tax administration authority, having worked for many years as a tax administration methodologist and department head at the General Financial Directorate. She also has experience gained at leading international consulting companies, so her reach and contribution to us and our clients is truly exceptional," he added.

"I am delighted that also the professional public has appreciated my experience and long-term interest in tax law and that I can contribute to further strengthening the reputation of our law firm's tax team this way," commented Hana Erbsová, an attorney who focuses primarily on tax disputes, international taxation and tax arbitration, including comprehensive advisory support to clients in tax and subsidy audits and in proceedings before courts, including the Supreme Administrative Court. "As part of my specialisation, I constantly strive to develop myself in the most topical fields and related trends. Therefore, I also focus, for example, on the tax and legal aspects of cryptocurrencies and other virtual assets," she added regarding her portfolio.
