Bratislava Office Closed on November 17!

We honour freedom and democracy – the pillars of our profession

As part of the current consolidation measures, the Government of the Slovak Republic has decided to abolish several public holidays and days of rest, among them November 17 – the Day of the Struggle for Freedom and Democracy.

Our law firm considers this day a significant symbol of the values on which not only the rule of law is built, but also the very practice of free advocacy. At a time when Slovakia is facing a weakening of democratic principles and the foundations of the rule of law, we consider it especially important to remember, protect, and actively defend these values.

The legacy of November 1989 represents a commitment to freedom, democracy, independence, and civic responsibility. These principles are also fundamental prerequisites for maintaining public trust in the legal system.

As a sign of respect for all these values, Giese & Partner Bratislava office will also be closed on November 17, just like our offices in Prague and Zlín.
