Our team

We are a law firm based in Zlín. We all feel a strong connection to the Zlín region, so after our studies and travels around the world, we returned to our "home nest" and began practicing law here.

Over time, a stable core of firm partners was formed, and later joined by other colleagues. We all deeply embody the Baťa-style enthusiasm, innovation, and diligence, and we strive to reflect them in our work, in the spirit of Tomáš Baťa's motto: "When everyone talks about impossibilities, look for possibilities."
