Dear Clients and Business Friends,
In the age of artificial intelligence, what is the most valuable aspect of a top-class consultant’s work? Our experience. At HAVEL & PARTNERS, we have a track record of thousands of commercial transactions, complex legal disputes, and successful business projects for our clients. We combine the know-how and expertise of our leading specialists with state-of-the-art technologies.
However, our added value lies not only in the speed or the volume of information we have at our disposal. It lies, above all, in our ability to put them into context, drawing on our experience. We understand our clients’ businesses, anticipate the consequences and recommend solutions that we can stand behind – and, unlike AI, we take responsibility for them.
In this issue of H&P Magazine, we bring you a combination of practical experience, a business perspective and new possibilities and opportunities for you and your business.
For example, we show what essential resources your company should have in place when using artificial intelligence, so that the technology delivers benefits rather than unnecessary risks. We focus on what underlies a successful sale of a business and why it is necessary to start preparing well in advance of the first offer. We are looking at the latest trends in property investment.
In an interview, we open the topic of Plan B. Nowadays, it is no longer enough simply to diversify your investments. Successful entrepreneurs and families are increasingly considering how to spread their assets and risks across multiple countries.
Relationships, trust and the opportunity to work with the best play a significant role. Thanks to the reputation, international reach and network of the HAVEL & PARTNERS consultancy group, our clients have access to first-class service around the world when dealing with their matters.
Through our family office, ONE FAMILY OFFICE, we have forged strong, long-term relationships with leading international private banks, global asset managers and world-class family offices. With offices in Frankfurt and Dubai and representation in London, Miami, Toronto and Silicon Valley, we have a physical presence in the places where capital is concentrated, investment opportunities arise, and the people who shape them come together. In addition to Dubai, another example is our collaboration on a property development project in Canada – specifically, the construction of detached houses in Calgary.
We can assist with diversification across multiple jurisdictions, currencies and asset classes, ensuring that the global mobility of family wealth remains effective even in the event of geopolitical, economic or other crises.
In this issue, we also turn our attention to Slovakia, where we look at the new Civil Code which will bring about one of the most significant changes to private law in recent decades and will affect businesses, contractual relationships, and inheritance. You will find here the most important changes, which we will guide you through clearly, just as we guided our clients through the entire process of preparing for the biggest legislative change in the Czech Republic in 2014. You will, in fact, find a number of similar changes in the Slovak Civil Code as well.
We also cover other practical topics relating to law, tax, investment and business.
The world of business and consultancy is changing at an ever-faster pace. However, the easier it becomes to obtain information, the more important it will be to know how to handle it properly. New technologies can open up a whole host of new possibilities for us. Experience helps us to recognise which of them are worth making use of. We at HAVEL & PARTNERS, with our experienced team, will be happy to continue supporting you in situations where decisions really matter.
Have an inspiring read!
