Banking & Finance
Our banking and finance practice is a core pillar of our firm. We bring extensive experience and expertise gained through some of the most significant transactions in the Slovak and cross-border markets. We advise both debtors and financial institutions on a wide range of banking and finance matters, including real estate finance, refinancing, project and acquisition financing, financial regulation, capital markets, bond issuance, and bankruptcy and restructuring. Our work covers everything from drafting finance documentation and legal opinions to transaction structuring, preparing corporate approvals, and registering security.


M & A
We guide our clients through every stage of the M&A process — from strategic structuring and confidentiality agreements to due diligence, transactional documents, and securing corporate approvals and approvals from financing banks. Whether it is a share or asset deal, merger, division, or sale of an enterprise, our experienced team delivers practical, business-driven legal solutions tailored to your needs.
Commercial & Corporate
Our corporate law practice is built to support businesses at every step. We advise on company formation, drafting of founding documents, shareholders’ agreements, and structuring relationships within corporate bodies. We assist with general and board meetings, management contracts, corporate changes (such as changes of seat, business scope, or statutory representatives), liquidation, and company termination. We also handle business licensing and ensure proper registration with commercial and public registers, so you can focus on growth while we take care of the legal details.


Real Estate
We deliver end-to-end legal support for real estate projects, from permitting and construction through due diligence, acquisition, financing, leasing, and sales. Our team drafts and negotiates lease agreements, easements, purchase and donation agreements, and other related documents. Whether you are an owner, investor, or tenant, we protect your interests and help you move projects forward.
Contracts
A strong contract is your best business tool. We draft, review, and negotiate a wide range of commercial, supplier-customer, civil law, and licensing agreements. Clear terms, flexible exit strategies, and well-structured conditions are key to minimizing risk and maximizing value — and that’s exactly what we deliver.
