April, 2006 - Prague, Czech Republic
Prague, April 19, 2006 – Kocián Šolc Balaštík was named Czech Republic‘s leading law firm in Who’s Who Legal - The International Who’s Who of Business Lawyers 2006. London publishing group Law Business Research Ltd, which provides independent assessments of law firms and publishes Who’s Who Legal, is regarded as one of the most reputable sources of information on legal services in more than 100 countries around the world.
Who´s Who Legal managing editor Callum Campbell stated “Kocián Šolc Balaštík is a worthy winner of Czech Republic’s Who’s Who Legal Firm of the Year, with outstanding individual talent and breadth of expertise. This is the first time we have singled out an individual firm nationally for such an honour, and Kocián Šolc Balaštík can truly be said to be Czech Republic’s leading firm.” He added “In determining a leading law firm in a jurisdiction, we consider a range of factors including number of partners listed in our publications, number of practice areas in which the firm is featured, past performance based on our research and aggregate total of weighted votes cast in favour of lawyers at the firm relative to those of other firms in the jurisdiction.”
Kocián Šolc Balaštík’s managing partner Martin Šolc ([email protected]) commented, “We do not usually place importance on such awards, but in this case we are really pleased by the Who’s Who Legal Award. This is because, on the one hand, it comes from a publishing group whose research is truly independent and, on the other hand, because both clients and other attorneys--that is, our competitors--are an important source for the assessment. Their appraising words are a double pleasure for us.”
Campbell also noted “It is impossible to buy entry into our publication. Financial considerations play no part in the selection process and only lawyers who have met independent international research criteria are listed. This book represents an accurate and impartial picture of the global private practice marketplace.”
