Contact - Ostrava Branch Office

In 2006, with a goal to deliver legal services to its clients in the broader region of central and northern Moravia, Havel, Holásek & Partners became the first leading Prague-based law firm to establish a branch in Ostrava.

The Ostrava office is the principal point of contact for clients not only from the Moravia-Silesia region, but also from the broader territory of central and north Moravia and Silesia. The legal team of the Ostrava branch office currently consists of 8 lawyers. The Ostrava office also comprises a team of approximately 19 employees who are in charge of debt administration and enforcement.

In terms of management and know-how, Havel, Holásek & Partners’ branch office in Ostrava is fully supported by the firm’s Prague head office. In more complex transactions, specialists from the Prague office, which employs more than eighty lawyers, may also join the Ostrava legal team as necessary, along with specialised translators and other professionals.

Havel, Holásek & Partners’ branch office in Ostrava provides a full range of legal services in the Czech, English and German languages in all standard areas of law related to our clients’ business activities. For more complex legal matters or if legal services are required in other languages, such as French, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Polish or Ukrainian, the team is joined by specialists from the Prague office in order to fully meet our client’s requirements.

Currently, Havel, Holásek & Partners has clients in north and central Moravia. These clients represent the region’s traditional industries, e.g. privatised industrial, metallurgic and heavy engineering enterprises and major construction companies, and also include rapidly-growing private production and sales companies and foreign investors newly entering the region, especially from South Korea, Taiwan, the United States and Germany.

Through our branch in Ostrava, Havel, Holásek & Partners actively supports investment development in northern Moravia, in cooperation with relevant state and regional bodies, associations of entrepreneurs and other organisations. For example, Havel, Holásek & Partners is a member of the Association for the Development of the Moravian-Silesian Region and the Czech-Polish Chamber of Commerce.
