From comprehensive legal and tax advice to asset management and development, accounting, out-of-court debt recovery, patent practice, competition economics, personal data protection, and even health concierge services and consulting in security, HR, and marketing – HAVEL & PARTNERS is today the largest Czech-Slovak advisory group with an international reach, offering a full spectrum of services.
For us, the relationship with clients doesn’t end with providing legal or tax services. On the contrary – we build long-term partnerships based on mutual trust and a deep understanding of business. We take a highly proactive approach towards clients: monitoring our clients’ operations, proposing solutions, and helping them stay ahead of the competition. All in a one-stop shop.
Thanks to the exceptional breadth of our services, in-depth market knowledge, extensive network of contacts, and strategic consulting, we connect clients with new opportunities. This creates a true partnership that benefits both parties, in the spirit of our motto "Connected through success".
Through H&P Patents, our dedicated patent office, we provide a full-service approach to patent protection across all technical fields. Our eight-member team of patent attorneys and specialised experts handles everything from European patent validations and supplementary protection certificates to utility models and industrial designs.
The backbone of H&P Patents is a group of European patent attorneys with decades of experience. The patent team works hand in hand with 25 other lawyers at HAVEL & PARTNERS who specialise in intellectual property law. They complement the patent attorneys’ expertise with services such as patent litigation, IP transactions, technology law, and niche areas like counterfeit enforcement, dual-use technologies, architectural law, and more. Together, we form the largest specialised IP practice in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, trusted by major international corporations as well as numerous startups looking to protect their innovations and inventions.
We combine top-tier legal and economic advice in one package. Using economic theory and quantitative methods, we precisely define relevant markets, assess dominance risks, analyse the impact of conduct and agreements, model merger effects, and evaluate pricing strategies. In damages disputes, we build transparent financial models to quantify actual damage and lost profits, and prepare economic arguments that stand up in proceedings. Our outputs are clear, data-driven, and defensible – before competition authorities, regulators, courts, and boards.
We provide outsourced Data Protection Officer (DPO) services through FairData Professionals, fully compliant with GDPR requirements for impartiality and conflict-of-interest prevention. This service is ideal for clients whose DPO role does not require a full-time position. What sets us apart is the collective expertise of our 12 GDPR specialists, ensuring seamless service continuity through full substitutability. We check compliance with the GDPR and other regulations, assist with leveraging data in business, and take over all DPO responsibilities so you can focus on your core activities without worry. Beyond the Czech Republic and Slovakia, we can also deliver these services internationally. When requested by clients, we use modern technologies to manage GDPR compliance efficiently.
With FairData Professionals, we also implement whistleblower protection regulations, set up ethical hotlines, and manage them, including handling reports, while using a modern, user-friendly and secure web platform. We help companies resolve internal issues, minimize the risk of regulatory scrutiny, and foster a stronger corporate culture.
Our marketing and PR team, repeatedly recognized in professional competitions such as the Czech PR Award (Lemur) and Zlatý středník, supports key clients of the group in strategic marketing, reputation management, and crisis communication. Thanks to our extensive network of contacts, we also assist our business partners in finding suitable candidates for managerial positions and with other HR-related needs.

To date, CSCP has invested more than CZK 6.5 billion in projects across the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
