2 Our law firm has won the prestige national award Law Firm of the Year It was the first time such a competition has been held in Slovakia. It was organised jointly by the EPRAVO GROUP and Trend, the leading Slovak economic weekly. Our firm also received the top ranking in two practice areas Public procurement and Real Estate/Construction. We won the most prices of all 42 participating law firms. Furthermore, our success has been highlighted by being ranked as highly recommended in another six law practice areas: 1) Corporate law 2) M&A 3) Banking & Finance 4) Dispute resolution 5) Tax law 6) IP, telecoms and IT law The competition was judged by an independent panel of judges from the business community, including the buyers of legal services, not the law firms themselves. Over a hundred evaluators were involved in the judging process. We are extremely proud of winning this award. It builds our confidence and creates a unique opportunity for the additional development of our services. It also increases our responsibility to sustain the high quality of our services, and it s a challenge to improve further. JUDr. Erika Csekes and JUDr. Jaroslav Ružička, PhD. Managing partners
