Filip Murár
KinstellarKinstellar’s banking, finance and capital markets team is regularly engaged by domestic and international banks and corporations to advise on syndicated lending, acquisition and real estate financing matters, as well as export and trade finance transactions. With demonstrated cross-border capabilities, the firm often advises on the Czech elements of multi-jurisdictional finance deals, and offers know-how on compliance issues and sensitive investigations across the Czech Republic and broader CEE region. The department is led by Martina Březinová. Since publication (in April 2024), after the German firm Noerr's offices in Bratislava, Budapest, Bucharest and Prague were transferred to Kinstellar as part of a non-exclusive arrangement, former Noerr banking, finance and capital markets co-heads Luděk Chvosta and Filip Murár joined the firm.
