“Jakub Lichnovsky and his team have long-term experience with legal advisory to foreign investors in the industry, with in-depth understanding of the automotive sector. PRK has been providing us with comprehensive legal guidance in a variety of our projects and legal matters, and the advice of PRK helped us to avoid risks, delays and related additional costs. The involvement of PRK has been beneficial in setting up strategy, planning, negotiation and establishing a system in all aspects of work. Jakub’s complexity and attitude is unique as well as his experience in project management, real estate and construction and the commercial aspects of the project development and implementation. PRK's services are always prompt, well structured, and supported with relevant facts and legal research. Management of risks from financial, legal and technical perspectives is key and PRK Partners is able to cooperate closely with other departments in our firm.”

“PRK Partners are not only excellent lawyers, but they also have technical and organisational skills.”

 

Project finance

“As the residential project in which PRK Partners assisted us is quite innovative, we greatly appreciated the width of legal practice areas that PRK Partners is able to cover. In addition to the banking team we could also cooperate with experts from PRK Partners specialising in other legal areas and consult them on other legal aspects of the project. When it comes to purely banking work, I must highlight that PRK Partners' lawyers perfectly combined their in-depth knowledge of the issues related to the loan and security documentation with their understanding of the main concerns of the bank and needs of the project. They were able to briefly and clearly explain an issue to us and distinguish key points from non-essential ones, which helped a lot to focus on the important aspects and, as a result, make the work more effective.”

I appreciated especially his business-orientated approach and focus on the key issues and finding of their solutions. He had excellent understanding of the needs of the project and also the concerns of the bank, which together with his excellent communication skills helped to move things forward.

Rudolf Kožušník

“Very high erudition."

 

Jakub Lichnovsky

“Looks for solutions and gets things done.”

“Jakub is an exceptional lawyer with amazing knowledge and abilities to find solutions.”

“Jakub’s strength is in the combination of his complex approach and unique experience with which he is able to evaluate the risks of a project, set up a strategy accordingly and generally assist the client throughout all phases of the project. Jakub is able to focus not only on the legal side of the project, but takes into account all other aspects (including business and commercial considerations) of a project in its complexity, which is of great value, as such approach ensures that all legal and commercial issues are covered. Jakub's advice is well structured and coordinated. All deliverables were of a high professional standard.
