Direct peers

• Havel & Partners: Largest full-service Czech law firm with comparable practice breadth across M&A, banking, real estate, and regulatory work. Headquartered in Prague and consistently ranked alongside PRK Partners in Chambers Europe and Legal 500 — the most direct competitive overlap in the Czech market.
• Kinstellar: Leading CEE-focused law firm with offices across Central and Eastern Europe, including Prague and Bratislava. Competes directly with PRK Partners for inbound CEE mandates and cross-border M&A work, particularly via its own international referral relationships.
• Schoenherr (SCWP Schindhelm): Austria-headquartered CEE-focused firm with extensive CEE footprint including Prague and Bratislava offices. Comparable practice mix in M&A, banking & finance, real estate, and competition law, and a direct competitor for cross-border mandates touching CZ/SK.
• Wolf Theiss: Austrian-CEE law firm with strong Prague and Bratislava presence and comparable full-service capability. Direct competitor for regional M&A, banking, and infrastructure mandates, with similar positioning for inbound European work into Central Europe.

Broad incumbents

• Clifford Chance (Prague): Global Magic Circle firm with a Prague office competing for top-tier Czech mandates. While broader in global footprint, the Prague office overlaps directly with PRK on banking, M&A, and capital markets matters and is a frequent counter-party in co-advisory arrangements.
• White & Case (Prague): Global firm with a long-established Prague office (where PRK partner Martin Aschenbrenner previously worked). Competes for major Czech M&A and financing mandates and is both a competitor and a co-advisory partner on transactions like the ZF/TRW financing.
• CMS (Prague): Top-tier European firm with full-service Prague office covering M&A, banking, real estate, and regulatory work. Comparable in scale and practice breadth, and competes for the same inbound CEE mandates that flow through Lex Mundi and similar networks.
• Baker McKenzie (Prague): Global firm with established Prague office offering comparable M&A, banking, and dispute resolution services. Competes for major cross-border mandates involving Czech elements and is structurally similar to PRK's inbound-deal positioning.
• Allen & Overy / A&O Shearman (Prague): Global elite firm with Prague presence, particularly strong in banking & finance and capital markets. Directly comparable in serving international clients on Czech-law elements of large financing and M&A transactions.
• Dentons (Prague): World's largest global law firm with a substantial Prague office offering full-service coverage. Competes for major Czech M&A, real estate, and corporate mandates and represents a structural competitive threat as clients consolidate to single-firm cross-border providers.
