🚨 It's the final C O U N T D O W N!🚨 🔊 I am flying out 🌎✈️ on Friday to speak at the Annual International Bar Association Conference in Mexico City on the following topic: 🔑 The Key to Successful Recovery - Injunctive Relief and Precautionary Measures in Cross-Border Cases With assets that are acquired in, or which find their way to, jurisdictions all across the 🌍 globe, multi-jurisdictional asset recovery cases present unique legal and practical coordination challenges. From preservation of an asset to recovery, injunctive relief and precautionary measures are key to many successful cross-border asset recovery cases. Join me and my esteemed co-panelists Tatiana Markel, Alipak Banerjee, Laure-Hélène Gaicio and Paul Kennedy as we discuss this interesting topic! 🗓️ Date: Monday, 16 September 2025 | 16:15-17:30 📍 Location: Casa Montejo 1, Level S Interestingly, yesterday, we received an email packed with tips to ensure a safe and enjoyable stay in Mexico City. Some standout advice? Stick to using 🏧 ATMs during the day, always keep your ID handy, rely on trusted rides like UBER or hotel taxis 🚕 and stay alert while out and about. But here’s the kicker - ⛔ 🕴 no business suits for this conference! Instead, they’re encouraging us to go casual for the working sessions. Now that’s a first, but I totally get it - no one wants to stand out for the wrong reasons. As international lawyers, we often face unique challenges, from navigating different legal systems to adapting to diverse cultural norms. This conference will be another opportunity to showcase our adaptability and resilience. But, hey, we have faced bigger challenges before! We will survive this too! ❓ So the important question for today is… What is everyone packing??! 🛄 #womeninlaw #litigation #internationalarbitration #assetrecovery #lawyers #lawfirm #IBA Michael Kyprianou Law Firm

Mexico's recent judicial reform marks a significant shift in the nation's legal landscape, carrying far-reaching implications for both governance and the business sector. With the introduction of partisan ties in the judiciary and potential erosion of constitutional checks and balances, businesses face heightened risks of political interference and weakened legal protections. Mexico will continue to offer many opportunities, but for businesses aiming to thrive in this evolving environment, understanding the risks and opportunities will be even more critical. Have a read of our analysis on the impact of the reforms and if you think we can help, do reach out.

Do you love to dream? 🛏😴🌛 I do! Especially, I like the dreams that come true. This was one of those dreams. ❤ When I entered private practice 14 years ago, I dreamed that we would build a strong competition practice in Czechia and Slovakia. It was not at all certain - the market was already quite crowded and mature at the time (2010). I dreamed that our team would not only serve great clients and work on complex cases, but also train new generation of competition lawyers and economists who would eventually become recognized experts. And it seems that we have succeeded in living our dream. We regularly work for hundreds of clients, many of them leaders in their sectors. We help them with big cases on both the national and the EU level. And our #competition team, which meanwhile grew to 30 members, regularly ranks at the top of all respected international rankings. And not just the team, but more and more regularly the individuals - my amazing colleagues. Just see the latest news. THE LEGAL 500 > 🇨🇿 CZECH REPUBLIC > EU AND COMPETITION 🏰 Tier 1 Firm: HAVEL & PARTNERS 🤴 Leading Individual: Robert Neruda (🙋♂️) 🏅 Next Generation Partner: Lenka Štiková Gachová ⭐ Rising Star: Roman Světnický Wondering how our clients turned our dreams into reality? These are the testimonials we received: ➡️‘We appreciate the extent to which the competition law lawyers are familiar with our business. They are able to propose solutions that are extremely beneficial to us because they do not just focus on the legal part of the matter, but always try to assess as far as possible the impact of the proposed solution on our business.’ ➡️‘The EU & competition team was very professional and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend them to anyone who, like us, dealt with matters related to competition law, though their erudition is at a high level in other areas of law as well.’ ➡️‘Robert Neruda is a true professional.’ Thank you - to the team, the clients and friends all around the world - for making my dreams come true. 😍🤩🙏 #competition #legal500 #havelpartners #Czechia

HAVEL & PARTNERS IN FIGURES 🔢 We continue to introduce our contributor for Czechia - HAVEL & PARTNERS. You already know from our last post that Robert Neruda considers his greatest professional achievement to be building the largest antitrust team in the region. But is that really the case? 🧐 And who actually makes up the competition team at HAVEL & PARTNERS? Let the figures speak for themselves. ⬇ 1️⃣ 2️⃣ women. 1️⃣ 6️⃣ men. In total, 2️⃣ 8️⃣ competition law enthusiasts with an average age of just under 3️⃣ 2️⃣ . There are those at the very beginning of their careers, still studying at university, as well as lawyers and economists with decades of experience. The competition team at HAVEL & PARTNERS advises more than 2️⃣ 0️⃣ 0️⃣ clients each year. They include both large and well-known multinational companies 🌎 and local players 📍 on the Czech and Slovak markets. The team assists both small and large companies, because according to the Czech Antimonopoly Office "there are no small cases". The longest competition dispute in the field of vertical agreements lasted for more than 2️⃣ 0️⃣ years and was brought to a successful conclusion by the competition team last year. The case concerned interconnection agreements between mobile operators. 📶 And last, but not least - 1️⃣ 0️⃣ . That is how many minutes it took the team to arrive in record time at the headquarters of a client where the Czech competition watchdog had just started an inspection. 🔎 Vladislav Bernard, Dita Krumlová, Robert Nersesjan and Robert Neruda are the key contacts who ensure that DLC - Distribution Law Center always has the latest information on Czechia. But the competition team at HAVEL & PARTNERS is much larger. And it is only natural, since HAVELs are by far the largest law firm in Czechia and Slovakia - more than 3️⃣ 5️⃣ 0️⃣ lawyers, economists, tax and patent advisors. So feel free to contact any of them. 👋 Stay tuned for more competition news from the land of Franz Kafka, Václav Havel and Antonín Dvořák. We'll be back next week.   #czechia #dlc #verticals #havelpartners 

Changing Transatlantic perspectives and bringing BODENHEIMER Itineraries to Atlanta, Georgia 🇺🇸 Last week we held yet another event in our BODENHEIMER Itineraries series — these are invitation-only gatherings of arbitration professionals from different countries at exclusive venues in key locations around the world. Each event is unique — we invite an eminent speaker who gives a complex yet concise keynote address on a current hot topic in arbitration, which is then lively discussed by the hand picked guests all of whom are thought leaders in international arbitration. Last time we explored the future of AI and the Web3 economy in Paris. 🇫🇷 Now, we switched to changing Transatlantic perspectives in Atlanta. And what could be a better fitting location? 1️⃣ Atlanta has firmly established itself as a key hub for international arbitration in the Southeastern United States, due in no small part to the efforts of Atlanta International Arbitration Society. 2️⃣ Every year AtlAS hosts its Annual Conference here, gathering arbitration practitioners from around the world. 3️⃣ Not to mention that our partner Christof Siefarth is currently AtlAS President and has been working closely on international arbitration in Georgia and beyond over the last decades. So, Atlanta it was! Our prominent speaker, Peter “Bo” Rutledge, Dean of University of Georgia School of Law, offered his insights on the top three things European lawyers should understand about the U.S. dispute resolution system, covering crucial areas such as: 🔹 personal jurisdiction, 🔹 discovery processes, 🔹 enforcement of foreign judgments and arbitral awards. Stay tuned for our exclusive interview with Dean Rutledge where we will dive deeper into these topics and let’s see where our next BODENHEIMER Itineraries event will take us! 🌎✨ #Arbitration #DisputeResolution #InternationalLaw #USLaw
