Weinhold Legal

What Weinhold Legal does

Weinhold Legal is a leading Czechoslovak law firm founded in 1996 and headquartered in Prague, with a branch office in Brno. The firm operates as a privately held Czech limited liability company (Weinhold Legal, s.r.o. advokátní kancelář, Company ID No. 25628470) and serves enterprises, financial institutions, public sector entities, and startups across Czechia and Slovakia. It employs dozens of lawyers within a total headcount band of 51–100, organised under three named partners — Daniel Weinhold, Martin Lukáš, and Milan Polák — and several heads of department and managing associates covering 25 distinct practice areas.

The firm's service offering is full-service and segmented by both legal discipline (Corporate Law, M&A, Banking & Finance, Real Estate and Construction, Dispute Resolution, IT & IP, Labour Law, Public Procurement, Insolvency & Restructuring, Competition, Regulatory/ESG/Cybersecurity/Data Privacy, and others) and sector focus (Energy & Utilities, ICT/Media, Construction & Development, Transportation & Infrastructure, Pharmaceuticals & Healthcare, Public Sector, Retail & E-commerce, Sport, and Family Office). A separate Start-ups, Venture Capital and Cryptocurrency practice and an Education & Training channel (webinars, seminars) extend the offering beyond traditional mandate work. Service delivery is partner-led through direct client engagement at the Prague and Brno offices, with a foreign lawyer coordination capability for multi-jurisdictional matters.

The firm bills on professional services fees, typically hourly rates or fixed fees per transaction, with no publicly disclosed pricing; an example seminar ticket is priced at 4,500 CZK plus VAT. The business model is sales-led, with client acquisition driven by professional reputation, industry rankings, educational events, and direct partner outreach. Marquee engagements include the EUR 1.04 billion LKQ/Auto Kelly acquisition, EUR 192 million SPAR/Ahold work, the EUR 8.5 million WFG Real Estate acquisition and sale-and-leaseback, defence of the Czech Republic in billions of CZK of BIT arbitration, and privatisations exceeding EUR 4 billion (Czech electricity) and EUR 840 million (Slovenské elektrárne). The firm maintains rankings across Legal 500, Chambers Europe, IFLR1000, Who's Who Legal, ITR World Tax, Benchmark Litigation, and Best Lawyers.
