Our bank has cooperated with DUNOVSKÁ & PARTNERS for 30 years. During this time, we have seen repeatedly the quality of this law firm in a number of areas, especially in the fields of banking, structuring of financing, and also the resolution of non-performing loans and enforcement of creditors' rights, including insolvency proceedings. In particular, the experience of the law firm and their distinctive representatives in respect of the entire financing lifecycle, from origination to recovery, brings real value to the client. Unlike other law firms, DUNOVSKÁ & PARTNERS have a deep understanding of the practical and technical aspects of bank financing, which they are able to translate into clear legal advice.

DUNOVSKÁ & PARTNERS have a great team of experienced, efficient and results oriented lawyers. I like their down-to-earth and user-friendly style combined with stellar quality. I appreciate their world-class client service – essentially the same level of service you would get from a top global legal firm, but delivered by lawyers based in Prague who understand our business.

I am linked to DUNOVSKÁ & PARTNERS for many years, working with them from different positions in different companies. And it is not just by matter of luck or chance. Throughout the many years of my experience it was proven to me repeatedly that there is added value in their service compared to competition. And it is maybe not only the high level of expertise (common to many law firms) but namely the way application of this expertise is used in a creative, informal and useful manner. Simply you do not receive a legal opinion  but a solution.
