ČEZ Group
Prague-based ČEZ Group is a large multinational that has a number of business interests in the oil and energy sectors across several Central and Eastern European countries. It is one of the most notable businesses in the entire region and is pursuing further means of modernising, as well as increasing the speed and quality of its contact with customers. Thanks to this remit as well as a commitment to fulfil “the most stringent EU standards”, the company’s legal department is relied on heavily to achieve corporate objectives. Legal department director Patrik Bures – an inclusion in 2017’s GC Powerlist: Central and Eastern Europe – has oversight of a team that has several outstanding legal and compliance professionals based in ČEZ’s home country of the Czech Republic, and is praised for its handling of matters related to the volatile, fast-moving and strictly regulated energy sector.
