After its success in the domestic Law Firm of the Year competition, in which the firm received four awards, HAVEL & PARTNERS also won one of the main categories of the international poll organised by the global rating agency Who's Who Legal and became the best law firm in the Czech Republic. The awards ceremony took place on 16 November in London.

The Who's Who Legal Awards annually recognise the best legal experts and law firms in more than 35 practice area categories in 75 jurisdictions. The law firm wins the award for the best Czech law firm for the fifth year in a row. HAVEL & PARTNERS' specialists are also regularly ranked at the top of the rankings of leaders in individual areas of law.

"At the beginning of November, we won the award for the best local and most popular law firm in the Law Firm of the Year competition. Immediately afterwards, we follow up with a very important international trophy for the top law firm in our country, and thus symbolically strengthen our position as a leader on the domestic legal market," says Jaroslav Havel, managing partner of the firm, on winning the prestigious award.

The global rating agency Who's Who Legal has been mapping leading law firms, consultancies and individual professionals in its analyses and publications since 1996. Their surveys are based primarily on feedback from and detailed interviews with clients, experts and consultants who work closely with the subjects under review.
