HAVEL & PARTNERS has won the TOP Employers poll, and for the eighth time in a row became the most sought-after employer among law firms in the Czech Republic. The poll, which is organised annually by the Association of Students and Graduates, is voted for by students of Czech universities. They evaluate companies according to criteria such as working environment, social responsibility, professional background or prospects for future high income, and thus vote for the most attractive employers in each field.

“It's great that we remain the first choice for law students on the job market,” said managing partner Jaroslav Havel. “Finding talented and driven students and graduates is absolutely crucial for us. We are aware that a successful firm is primarily made up of people who enjoy working for it and have the opportunity to develop within it. That is why our role is far from over with recruitment; not only do we offer students the stable background of the largest independent law firm on the Central European market, but we also enable them to grow professionally.”

HAVEL & PARTNERS currently has 290 lawyers and tax advisors. It provides comprehensive legal and tax services in all areas of law and business to a total of 2,500 clients, including the most important Czech and foreign companies and successful entrepreneurs. Students and graduates of law faculties thus have the opportunity to participate in top-class counselling where they actually meet the most demanding clients. At the same time, they have the opportunity to get hands on experience in the fields the new generation of legal professionals find attractive for the future such as digitalization, technology, ESG, private equity and venture capital.

“I would like to thank the students for their vote in the TOP Employers poll. I am pleased that they see us as a stable, strong and trustworthy firm that can offer them an exceptional opportunity to enter the world of legal counselling and start their further career development,” commented Daniel Soukup, HR Director of HAVEL & PARTNERS, on the first place won in the poll. “From the very beginning, young promising professionals have the chance to benefit from the firm’s unique know-how built up over the years and the guidance of more experienced colleagues, and they often soon find themselves on extremely interesting cases,” he added.
