H&P Corporate Case Law: Review of the report on relations with affiliates (July 2025)

Ondřej Florián

Why have I been practicing corporate law for fifteen years? The question should rather be "why on earth not?" Corporate law contains everything a lawyer can wish for. From the contractual agenda in the form of drafting shareholder agreements to the contentious agenda in litigating shareholder disputes in court or hostile shareholder meetings. From the clear-cut rules of mergers, demergers or changes of legal form (yes, I like rules) to the routine (and sometimes reassuring) small-corporate officialdom of changes of directors, headquarters or trading companies. If you add to this the largest and most importantly the best (!) corporate law team in Central Europe, you will understand why I have been with HAVEL & PARNERS since college. Oh, and I also play tennis, hockey, run, cycle and spend most of my time on the golf course looking for golf balls.

Law can be a good servant, but in its ignorance, it can also be a bad master. What pleases me most about it is when I can conjure up from a jumble of paragraphs a seemingly simple piece of advice that will be a good and sensible servant. I mostly specialise in health and pharmaceutical law in conjunction with personal data protection. I also like media and advertising regulation, and everything related to food (from paragraphs to culinary travel experiences).

I have always been drawn to music and as an active musician moving among creative people, I found a passion for intellectual property that led me to my specialisation in industrial property rights enforcement. In addition to this area, I also specialise in contract law, in which I like to focus on relationships relating to the development, licensing and protection of technology and related know-how, as well as FMCG and settings of contractual relations in the food industry. Currently on my radar are licensing proceedings before the Council of Radio and Television Broadcasting. In my spare time, I enjoy music and travelling.

Unlike most of my colleagues, studying law was not an obvious choice for me from a young age and I was also attracted to economics for a long time. Since I was never very good with functions, matrices or equations, I decided pragmatically for paragraphs and have no regrets. Within our firm, I specialize in financial market law and regulation. Eventually, I will get around to working with numbers on a daily basis anyway, and in a much more pleasant way.
