The award ceremony took place on the evening of April 1, 2025, in Prague, bringing together leading lawyers and law firms from across Central and Eastern Europe.
David Vosol, partner of bpv BRAUN PARTNERS commented: “This is a great success for us at bpv BRAUN PARTNERS and for our entire team – big thanks to Igor Augustinič, Ondrej Poništiak, Pavel Vintr, Ivana Horáková, David Plevka, Juraj Gazda, Zuzana Dzilská and Monika Kardošová. We are proud that our hard work has been recognised – it’s a testament to our dedication, teamwork, and precision and the icing on the cake for the celebration of 15 years of our Bratislava office – without them this transaction would not have taken place.. Thanks to Rob Irving of Dentons, on the sell side, thanks to him, it was for me also the most professional and gentlemanlike transaction of the last years.” Congratulation to all winners.
