From my original idea of studying foreign languages, I turned to law after rejecting economics as too impersonal a field, with the idea that after graduation I would work at the UN and address issues of international law.

So, except for the UN, my wish has come true. I assist clients with acquisitions and sales in the Czech Republic and abroad, the establishment and management of joint ventures, the resolution of disputes between partners, investments, and a wide range of commercial matters in foreign jurisdictions. I enjoy ball sports (though I’m literally too short for basketball) and I’ve noticed that my childhood, spent juggling piano lessons and handball, still helps me today not only to prioritize tasks under time pressure but also to assemble a functional transaction team that’s goal-oriented and, ideally, keeps score as well.
