What Havel & Partners Tax S.r.o. does

Havel & Partners Tax S.r.o. operates as the tax-advisory arm of the HAVEL & PARTNERS group, the largest independent Czech-Slovak law firm, and provides tax consulting alongside integrated legal, wealth-management, and venture-advisory services. The firm employs more than 250 lawyers and tax advisors across 29 practice areas and 12 languages, organized into seven offices in Prague, Bratislava, Frankfurt, Brno, Ostrava, Plzeň, and Olomouc, and serves a client base of more than 2,500 corporations, financial institutions, public-sector entities, startups, and high-net-worth individuals. It is also affiliated with an international legal network of approximately 90,000 lawyers across approximately 160 countries, enabling cross-border mandates in 110+ jurisdictions.

The firm monetizes primarily through fee-for-service legal and tax advisory work, augmented by the ONE FAMILY OFFICE wealth-management platform launched in 2021, structured venture-fund mandates (notably the JIC Ventures CZK 400 million fund), ongoing educational events under its Academy, and a portfolio of strategic investments in approximately 13 venture capital funds and roughly 180 startups, including a long-term partnership with Credo Ventures. The business model is partner-led and relationship-driven, anchored by multi-year mandates for a substantial share of the wealthiest Czech and Slovak families and by recurring corporate, M&A, and fund-formation engagements. Technology is used in standard professional-services operations rather than as a distinct product line, and the firm is privately held with no disclosed external investors.

Broad incumbents

• Dentons: World's largest global law firm with substantial CEE presence including Czech Republic and Slovakia. Competes on large cross-border mandates and has the resource base to underprice or outstaff regional players on complex transactions.
• Allen & Overy (now A&O Shearman): Global elite law firm with significant CEE practice. Comparable for premium cross-border banking, finance, and corporate advisory work where HAVEL & PARTNERS relies on its international partner network rather than owned delivery.
• PwC Legal: Big 4 legal and tax practice with strong Czech and Slovak presence. Comparable as a full-service tax, legal, and advisory competitor with deeper resources for large cross-border tax and M&A mandates in CEE.
• Baker McKenzie: Global law firm with strong CEE practice and recognized expertise in tax, M&A, and cross-border transactions. Comparable to HAVEL & PARTNERS for international mandates requiring single-firm global delivery in 70%+ of its case mix.
• Clifford Chance: Magic Circle law firm with established CEE practice through Prague and other regional offices. Competes for the highest-end cross-border M&A, banking, and capital markets mandates that HAVEL & PARTNERS targets via its international network.
• Deloitte Legal: Big 4 legal and tax advisory practice with extensive CEE presence. Competes directly with HAVEL & PARTNERS Tax on cross-border tax structuring, transfer pricing, and integrated advisory for multinational clients operating in Central Europe.
