For the first time since COVID-restrictions ended, we could again have our bpv LEGAL academy in Bratislava.
More than 40 participants from the whole alliance discussed on M&A topics, such as specifics of PE/VC investments, M&A related dispute resolution, tax structuring, competition law, FDI control and legal opinions.
The fine warm evening in Bratislava helped us enjoy also a good dinner and bars after a demanding day.
15 years ago we announced the decision to continue our cooperation through bpv LEGAL, with its member firms bpv Braun Partners, bpv Grigorescu Stefanica, bpv Huegel and bpv Jádi Németh, all still on board. We have added an additional city on our map and have doubled in size during these 15 years. And still have fun working together.
Our commitment remains unchanged: providing business-minded, creative and reliable advice to our local and international clients through the entire CEE region.
To our clients, our friends and mainly to our teams: Thank you all for your trust and support in the past 15 years.
This year’s Moot Court focused on employment law took place on Thursday, November 14, 2019, once again organized by our office in conjunction with the student association ELSA Czech Republic Prague. The competition takes place in two rounds: first teams receive a written assignment, and then the best teams proceed to a simulated court hearing where they have to defend their position and argue for a fair resolution as counsel for their client before a panel of three judges.
The judges were partner Arthur Braun, of-counsel Lucie Kalašová, and associate Markéta Nešetřilová, and they had their work cut out for them, as this year’s teams were extremely well prepared with supporting arguments. They gained invaluable experience in what it is like to represent a client in practice as well as feedback from the judges at the end of the simulated hearing. The two winning teams receive a financial reward.
Congratulations to the winning teams!
