In 1992, Dewey Ballantine was one of the first Western firms to launch a full-time legal advisory service in Prague. More than ten years later, the Prague office of Dewey Ballantine is one of the leading international law firms in the Czech Republic.

The office is staffed with a mix of Czech and foreign attorneys who have broad experience in a variety of major transactions in the Czech Republic, as well as throughout Europe. Their work is complemented with the skills and experience of our attorneys in London, Frankfurt and the U.S., to ensure the best lawyering for our clients. The attorneys speak English, Czech and several other languages, including French and German.

In addition to providing specialized commercial and corporate advice, the Prague office´s principal practice encompasses mergers and acquisitions, arbitration and litigation, project finance, corporate finance, banking and finance, privatization and a broad spectrum of transactions involving public enterprises, telecommunications and media.

The Prague office has represented leading global companies and financial institutions in numerous high-profile transactions.
