Dentons was honored with two of the Czech Republic’s top legal industry accolades at the EPRAVO.CZ Legal Awards 2019. For the second time, the Firm won the main award as “International Law Firm of the Year”, and for the first time ever, the award for the “Law Firm of the Year for Banking and Finance”. 

Dentons was also Highly Recommended in the categories of Competition Law, Mergers & Acquisitions, Real Estate, Restructuring & Insolvency, Dispute Resolution and Arbitrations, Capital Markets, Corporate Compliance, Energy and energy projects, Telecommunications and Media and Tax law; and Recommended in the category of Employment law and Criminal law.

Michal Hink, Czech Republic Managing Partner, collected the awards along with partners Ladislav Štorek, Tomáš Bílek, Jiří Tomola and Petr Zákoucký. The awards ceremony was held at Žofín Palace, and attended by leading representatives of the Czech legal industry.

Michal Hink commented on the results of the competition: “We greatly appreciate the victory in the main International Law Firm of the Year category. Our victory in Banking and Finance, along with our longstanding and exceptional position in Development and Real Estate Projects and the success in a number of other areas of law confirm our standing as an elite law firm with a truly comprehensive range of services in the Czech Republic. Foremost, we thank our clients for their long-term trust and all our colleagues in Prague for their great work.”

“Banking and Finance is our key practice, and an area of law where we have extensive experience. It is not an easy task to build and maintain a team that consistently delivers first-class quality of service, and we are continuously working to further improve our offer. We therefore value this award as much as victory in the main category, as this recognition reconfirms the success of our strategy to become the market leader in all major areas of law. We thank our clients for their support and the trust they place in us, and the whole Dentons team for their outstanding performance,” said Jiří Tomola, who leads Dentons’ Banking and Finance practice in the Czech Republic together with partner Daniel Hurych. Daniel added: “We are thrilled to record our first win in the Banking and Finance category and we highly appreciate this award.”

The EPRAVO.CZ “Law Firm of the Year” awards are the most prestigious legal awards in the Czech Republic. They are organized by leading Czech legal portal, EPRAVO.CZ, under the auspices of the Czech Bar Association.
