JŠK law firm

What JŠK law firm does

JŠK, advokátní kancelář, s.r.o. is a privately held Czech commercial law firm founded in 2004 and headquartered at Ovocný trh 573/12 in Prague's historic center. The firm operates as a full-service legal advisory, organized around three core pillars: transactions (mergers & acquisitions, private equity, corporate law, banking & finance, real estate), disputes (litigation, arbitration, insurance claims), and regulation (competition law, compliance, ESG). Practice coverage additionally extends to energy, infrastructure, intellectual property, e-commerce, start-ups, sports law, art law, labor law, and restructuring & insolvency.

The firm is staffed by seven partners, five of-counsels, four managing associates, ten associates, ten junior lawyers, and supporting paralegals and administrative staff — approximately 54-60 people total. Senior talent is recruited from international elite firms, including Tomáš Doležil (ex-Clifford Chance, 8 years) and Roman Šťastný (ex-Linklaters, 1995-2005), supplemented by PhD holders, university lecturers, and co-authors of major legal commentaries. JŠK is a member of the PONTES CEE Lawyers network, which connects more than 150 lawyers across seven Central and Eastern European countries for coordinated cross-border mandates.

Revenue is generated entirely through professional service fees for legal advisory work, billed on a quote-based, project-specific basis depending on complexity, scope, and seniority of assigned lawyers. The firm serves corporate and commercial clients across banking (Raiffeisenbank), energy (PRE Group), private equity (Genesis Capital, Catalyst Capital), and technology (Saleskit, Lundegaard, Anexia, KKIG Holding). Client acquisition is primarily through partner-led engagement, professional reputation, analyst rankings (Chambers Europe/Global, Legal 500, IFLR1000), referrals, and the PONTES network. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and the firm operates as a single-office entity in Prague.
