What Glatzova & Co. does

Glatzova & Co. is an independent Czech-Slovak law firm founded in 1994 by Vladimíra Glatzová, headquartered in Prague with a regional office in Bratislava established in 2008. The firm operates a partnership model with eight equity partners and approximately 40+ lawyers, including counsels, managing associates, senior lawyers, lawyers, and trainee lawyers (koncipienti). It has no parent company, no external funding, and is wholly owned and controlled by its partners. The firm celebrated its 31st anniversary in 2025, indicating long operational continuity in the Central European legal market.

The firm delivers legal advisory services across ten core practice areas: Mergers & Acquisitions, Banking & Finance, Real Estate, Dispute Resolution, Restructuring & Insolvency, Competition, Labour Law, Intellectual Property & IT, Energy, and Corporate & General Legal Services. Services are billed on a professional services (hourly/matter) basis with no publicly disclosed pricing, no proprietary technology platform, and no AI/ML product surface. The firm is recognized in Chambers Europe 2025, Legal 500 EMEA 2025, and IFLR1000 2025 across multiple practice areas, and won the Právnická firma roku 2025 award in 13 categories. Notable recent mandates include advising PCTC Invest on the sale of TONAK, ROUVY on the acquisition of BKOOL and FulGaz, Fond Českého Bydlení on multiple residential portfolio acquisitions, and Julius Meinl Living on a EUR 68M J&T Banka financing and SICAV fund establishment.

The firm serves corporate and enterprise clients across the Czech Republic and Slovakia, with cross-border mandates in real estate, technology, energy (including nuclear via the Yulchon MOU for Dukovany II), and financial services. Its go-to-market combines reputation-driven enterprise field sales, recurring monthly Právní akademie client seminars, a monthly Legal News newsletter, social media presence, and traditional media publications. The April 2025 MOU with Korean firm Yulchon LLC signals an emerging international advisory corridor in nuclear energy regulation, positioning the firm beyond pure domestic Czech-Slovak mandates.
