Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- Arguably the best Capital Markets team for issuers in the Czech market in my view. Proven extensive experience across sectors, deep understanding of the issuer's needs, driving the development of the whole market. Great to work with not just professionally but also personally.
- Jan Skuhravy, although based in London and practicing in English law, has a Czech origin that makes communication and understanding of the Czech market easier. Simultaneously, he is acceptable and trustworthy for international banks.
