The International Who’s Who of Business Lawyers

Kocián Šolc Balaštík named
Czech Republic’s Law Firm of the Year for the third time

Kocián Šolc Balaštík has been named Czech Republic Law Firm of the Year 2008 in the Who’s Who Legal Awards. This is the third consecutive time the firm has been recognised in this way, and has won the award every year since its inception.

With the benefit of over ten years of independent research, Who’s Who Legal used the thousands of nominations it has received from clients and private practice professionals to identify the leading firms in 50 countries and five US states. The winners were formally announced in The International Who’s Who of Business Lawyers 2008, a compendium edition of all the individual Who’s Who Legal publications, which was released in May, covering 29 practice areas and nearly 100 countries.

Editor in chief Callum Campbell said, “In a highly competitive field, receiving the Who’s Who Legal Law Firm of the Year Award for Czech Republic a third time is a truly outstanding achievement. Kocián Šolc Balaštík’s continuing success is reflected in the consistently positive feedback we received recognising the firm’s exceptional individual and collective talent. We have no hesitation in declaring Kocián Šolc Balaštík the leading firm in the country.

Who’s Who Legal lists only the leading practitioners in each field, based exclusively on the findings of an independent six-month research process. Partners from the firm received sufficient nominations from their clients and peers to be listed three times across three practice areas in the publication. Kocián Šolc Balaštík had more practitioners included than any other firm in the country.
