Client references

The lawyers from Legate act as a reliable and responsive team. They work very efficiently and thoroughly reviewed the plaintiff's documentation, in which they were able to identify the errors that the plaintiff made. Based on this, they even forced the plaintiff, as the opposing party, to withdraw from the proceedings and thus terminate the proceedings. They devote themselves fully to the case, do not waste time on unimportant matters and thus avoid inefficiency. They secured victory in five related disputes. A thorough analysis of the merits of the case, extensive experience in the field of disputes and a deep SWOT analysis brought our company impressive results.

Legate's real estate team is experienced, practical and results-oriented. They are great team players. I appreciate their friendly and open approach, as well as their efforts to automate documentation. When selling the property, they guided us without hesitation through a new financial leasing model and thoroughly familiarized themselves with aspects related to licenses, taxes and business models.

We highly appreciate the professional level of services provided by LEGATE, s.r.o., as well as its professionalism and willingness to solve individual tasks. In the case of expanding the required services, LEGATE, s.r.o. was helpful, proposing the necessary solutions, which it analyzed in detail and implemented after agreement.

Peter Vrabel is an excellent lawyer with deep knowledge of the energy sector and a very practical approach, which is often essential for the successful implementation of a project. He is very open and brings intelligent strategic solutions to overcome obstacles, while maintaining a practical approach. Compared to other law firms, he brings an extraordinary quality to the work.

They are open, cooperative and have invaluable expertise in our industry; they have an overview of procedural guarantees, EPC contracts, both in the case of lump sum and cost and fee models. They contribute greatly to the course of negotiations and seek solutions so that time is not wasted on endless refutations of arguments. They not only understand the legal issues, but also take into account the business and technological perspective when assessing the contractual position and conducting negotiations. They are an integral part of the internal team throughout the duration of the project. Their friendly and open communication alleviates the obstacles that some contractual partners pose.

Our company has been using the LEGATE system for over a decade in the implementation of high-priority investment projects in the refining and petrochemical industries, mainly involving foreign suppliers and licensors. The LEGATE team is highly professional and has excellent skills and experience in large project contracts.

Each legal situation requires an individual approach.

If you are considering the next step, we would be happy to look into your case and help you evaluate possible solutions.
