Client Testimonials

CLIENT: JUDr. Ing. Ján Lučan Ph. D., Member of the Board
COMPANY/FIRM: ČSOB a.s
TESTIMONIAL: 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.

CLIENT: Mgr. Jiří Zeman, General Counsel, Head of Legal
COMPANY/FIRM: HSBC Continental Europe, Czech Republic
TESTIMONIAL: 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.

CLIENT: JUDr. Jan Synek, CEE
COMPANY/FIRM: Allianz Trade / Euler Hermes SA, organizational unit
TESTIMONIAL: 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.

TESTIMONIAL: DUNOVSKÁ & PARTNERS has been a legal partner of ČSOB Factoring for more than two decades and during my tenure at the company, it has clearly been the main legal partner with whom we have dealt with the most complex legal situations. I have personally worked with several of their lawyers and managing partners. Their strength lies in their combination of long-standing financial services expertise, client-focused approach, and ability to handle non-routine, challenging situations and complex assignments. I hold DUNOVSKÁ & PARTNERS´ services in very high regard, and in my personal experience they exceed the quality of service of major international law firms.

Currently chairman of the Supervisory Board, Česká exportní banka, a.s.
TESTIMONIAL: DUNOVSKÁ & PARTNERS are external legal counsel to ČSOB a.s. and I personally have worked with Barbora Simon Dunovská since 1993. Their strength is definitely their long-term expertise and practical experience in banking and finance, and their ability to deal with complex and challenging situations proposing clear and workable solutions. Given the size of the firm and high quality of the attorneys they are very focused and the quality of service is in many cases above the level of service provided by leading international law firms.

Diversity

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Despite our demanding work we decline to forget our world is not a place where everyone is happy and we are strongly aware of our social responsibility towards people in need, community in general as well as nature.

PRO BONO

We consider free legal counsel an important part of our practice and we are glad that we are able to participate in helping other companies and individuals who have difficulties obtaining quality legal service.

As of January 1, 2013 as a part of our pro bono activities we have assumed free legal representation of Safety Line Association and became an exclusive legal advisor for all its activities. As advertised in the name of this organization, the Association was founded with the purpose of helping the children and young people in their difficult life situations as well as with their everyday problems and concerns. The association is an integral part of the children social and legal protection system in the Czech Republic and is a member of a global association of children helplines Child Helpline International.

“We are very grateful that Safety Line Association has chosen our law office as their legal advisors and that we shall be able to use our expertise and experience in assisting the Safety Line, thus participating on helping the children in difficult life situations who are in desperate need for help. The attorney practice is rarely regarded as being compassionate and understanding therefore the chance to indirectly convey these emotions in this manner is very important to us. We strongly believe that our cooperation shall be beneficial to Safety Line Association and a real joy for the team of our law office,” says JUDr. Barbora Simon Dunovská, a managing partner of the law office DUNOVSKÁ & PARTNERS LLC.
