Testimonials

- I am responsible for all funding, including debt issues, contract guarantees, and financial guarantees. BBH’s Banking & Finance team is very professional and easy to work with. They help us with complex loans, bond programs, structured financial products, and contracts, and they always make sure everything follows the rules. They understand Czech and EU banking regulations very well and give practical advice. Over time, we have built strong trust in the actual lawyers because they are proactive, creative, and explain risks clearly, including how to reduce them. Compared to other firms, BBH gives more practical solutions and works closely with us, not just formally. They are quick, reliable, and can manage projects that involve different countries.
- The lawyers we work with at BBH include Tomas Sedlacek, Petr Precechtel, Andrea Adamcova, and Dominik Liska. They combine strong technical skills with a very practical approach. They are proactive and creative, never just following instructions, but proposing better solutions. What makes them different from competitors is how clearly they explain complex risks and how to reduce them. They are always available, fast, and focused on workable outcomes, even for structured financial products and for both contract and financial guarantees. Their drafting is clear, they are detail-oriented and responsive, and they can manage very complex documentation under tight deadlines.
