Over the past year, Taylor Wessing Slovakia has seen an equal split across local and cross-border deals, with clients active in a range of industries including life sciences and TMT. The team continues to be involved in legislative activities in the commercial and corporate space, working closely with the Slovak Ministry of Justice; practice head Juraj Frindrich is a key name for such work. On the corporate side, Radovan Pala is a notable senior contact, while Milan Červenka and Peter Kaňuch are highly regarded for asssisting national and international clients with a wide range of commercial issues. Kristína Kešnerová, Andrej Leontiev and Andrea Kováčiková are likewise recommended.
