At the Chambers Europe Awards 2021, we not only retained our prestigious rating as the Best Law Firm in the Czech Republic, but we were also ranked among the top 10 European law firms for pro bono. This was mainly for our extensive pro bono programme during the pandemic.
Nearly all of us have felt during the pandemic that laughter heals and helps. That is why laughter is most needed in places where it is often lacking. As usual, and certainly not for the last time, we have supported the Zdravotní klaun (Medical Clown) organisation dedicated to bringing cheer to patients in hospitals, hospices and nursing homes. Join us and help the “red noses” brighten the day for sick children, the elderly and everybody else who needs it most.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion. But no one has the right to present their opinion as a fact. HAVEL & PARTNERS supports the NELEŽ (No lie) initiative and does not advertise on disinformation websites. We handle information responsibly and professionally ourselves, and we are also aware of how dangerous unverified and false information can be. Therefore, we stand together with NELEŽ for truth against misinformation.
Cancer is a menace, let alone when it is diagnosed in a child. Our law firm is a regular donor to the Krtek Endowment Fund that takes care of children undergoing cancer treatment. We have now also contributed CZK 50,000 to the creation of an animated series called Baldies (Plešouni), which aims to dispel fear in children in a playful way and inform them and their parents about what will happen during the treatment. Thirteen episodes full of important information will provide them with support, facts and hope and guide them through something they could never even imagine before. The project has received the support of both the European Society for Paediatric Oncology and the American Society of Clinical Oncology.
It used to be a good practice in our firm to hold an annual charity breakfast and donate the proceeds to a selected non-profit organisation. And because traditions should be kept alive, we organised a virtual breakfast with Kateřina Vacková despite the pandemic. Kateřina is a young doctor, a UN ambassador, a TEDx speaker, named in the Forbes 30 under 30 list. But most importantly, she is the founder of the non-profit organisation called Loono, where she leads a team of 150 doctors and medical students dedicated to the prevention of oncological and cardiovascular diseases and other lifestyle diseases. Before we ate our breakfast, we raised over CZK 50,000 crowns for Loono.
CZK 400,000
On the occasion of our 20th anniversary, we have decided to donate CZK 20,000 per year (i.e. a total of CZK 400,000) to charitable causes in addition to our pro bono assistance and distribute the amount among selected non-profit organisations. The recipient and the extent of our donation will be decided by a vote of all our employees and contractors.
