Giese & Partner is pleased to announce that the firm has been recognised as a Leading Law Firm 2026 by The Legal 500 Europe, Middle East & Africa in the areas of Banking and Finance and Real Estate and Construction. This ranking once again confirms our strong position among the leading law firms in the Czech Republic.
In addition to the firm ranking, several members of our team have been individually acknowledged as Recommended Lawyers 2026. According to the latest edition of The Legal 500, Jitka Sytařová, Markéta Mrázová, Martin Holler, Ernst Giese, Radek Werich and Jan Valíček have been recognised for their expertise and long‑standing experience in their respective areas of practice.
This success would not have been possible without the contribution of the entire Giese & Partner team, whose professionalism, dedication and collaborative approach consistently support the delivery of high‑quality legal services. The recognition therefore reflects both individual excellence and the collective strength of our firm.
We would like to thank our clients for their trust and valuable feedback during the research process and congratulate our colleagues on this well‑deserved recognition.
