About

Tatra is an extremely prestigious Czech company, being the second-longest running automobile manufacturer in the world. It has pioneered a number of innovations in the industry since its inception, including manufacturing the first aerodynamically-designed car and producing the first factory-manufactured cars in Central and Eastern Europe. Now, the company focuses on trucks, and produces a number of models popular for their reliability. General counsel Libor Vojtek has an unparalleled understanding of the company, having joined over two decades ago in September 1996. He is proud of the role he has played in this historic company that is well-liked by automotive enthusiasts. Vojtek is keen to point out that his day to day legal work is very varied, and encompasses many areas from IP to employment law and corporate deals and governance. As a general rule, Vojtek’s approach when considering which issues to tackle internally against those that should be given to external counsel is that the lion’s share of non-contentious legal work be kept in-house, where the high-priced skills of private practice lawyers are most efficiently taken advantage of. Vojtek’s immense experience in dealing with the demanding workload at this historic Czech company places him among the top in-house lawyers in the Czech Republic and the wider region.
