Commentary

Experience cannot be skipped

AI is transforming the consultancy market faster than anything before. It speeds up research, document analysis, the drafting of first drafts of contracts and a range of other tasks that, just a few years ago, took lawyers hours to complete. However, it does not replace the most valuable thing a top-notch adviser can offer – experience. Because you cannot skip that one. Or replace.

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.

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.

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.

Case study

Heart in the Czech Republic

Our work is diverse and sometimes it’s not just about big transactions and international deals, but about the valuable human stories that give our work exceptional meaning.
