HAVEL & PARTNERS

Joy that brings people together. And, above all, helps

At HAVEL & PARTNERS, we come together to enjoy time in the water, on bikes, on boats, over a glass of wine and in the kitchen. And we also come together to help others. Thanks to the charity raffle at our annual party, we were able to support the Domestici organisation.

Interview

Rising Uncertainty Means It’s Time for Billionaires to Think About a Plan B

“Today, billionaires should not concentrate their family wealth in a single country,” says Jaroslav Havel, founder of the law firm HAVEL & PARTNERS, whose ONE FAMILY OFFICE manages the wealth of many Czech billionaires. The times call for diversifying assets in more than one direction, not only across sectors.

Slovak Startups Enter a New Era – What Determines Success Today?

Successful startups today are not built on a good idea alone. What makes the difference is discipline, a high-quality team, the ability to work with data, and a well-thought-out growth strategy. These were among the key topics discussed at the fourth annual Startup & Investor Meetup, organized in Bratislava by HAVEL & PARTNERS and ONE FAMILY OFFICE.

A New Era of Advisory Services

The Age of Technology at HAVEL & PARTNERS

Artificial intelligence, automation, and digitalization are reshaping the business landscape. At HAVEL & PARTNERS, we aim to play a key role in this transformation – we continuously innovate, lead in AI implementation and help our clients with it as well.

From lawyers to advisers

A quarter century of courage to grow

In 2001, five young lawyers sat in an office on cardboard boxes instead of chairs, driven by a vision of building a great law firm. Today, HAVEL & PARTNERS stands as a comprehensive advisory group of 350 professionals who support more than 4,000 clients.

Architects of family wealth. Calm, stability and confidence

Family office and private client services were once reserved only for the wealthiest global dynasties such as the Rockefellers or Rothschilds. Today, thanks to HAVEL & PARTNERS and ONE FAMILY OFFICE, these services are available to successful entrepreneurs and families in the Czech Republic and Slovakia as well.

A foundation for the right decisions

Where tax meets law

At HAVEL & PARTNERS, tax consulting is about far more than numbers – it is about truly understanding a client’s business and the people who drive it. Over the past seven years, our tax team has grown from a small group of specialists into a respected advisory practice that combines deep tax expertise with legal insight and strategic perspective.

Business from Every Angle. One-Stop Shop Solutions

HAVEL & PARTNERS is today the largest Czech-Slovak advisory group with an international reach, offering a full spectrum of services – from legal and tax advice to patents, competition economics and GDPR, through to accounting and debt management.

Case study

Venture capital miracle from the centre of Europe

Credo Ventures shows that even in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, a fund can be created that is equal to those in Silicon Valley. We at HAVEL & PARTNERS have been with them from the very beginning – we have been working for Credo as legal and tax advisors since 2009.

Education as a pillar

At a time when legislation is evolving at an unprecedented pace, and business faces new regulatory and technological challenges, education matters more than ever. That’s why we offer HAVEL & PARTNERS ACADEMY – a truly unique educational platform in the legal and advisory services market, delivering added value to our clients and business partners.
