On 16 June 2026, bpv BRAUN PARTNERS celebrated the twentieth anniversary of its founding with a gala evening in the historic premises of the Augustinian Monastery in Malá Strana, Prague. More than 300 guests from several countries gathered to celebrate two decades of shared success.
The choice of venue was no coincidence. The Augustinian Monastery, whose history dates back to 1285, is normally closed to the public, and it was precisely its opening for this occasion that lent the evening its exceptional character. Just as the legal profession is built on solid foundations of tradition, trust and hard work, so too does this place embody a legacy spanning centuries.
The evening was opened by managing partner Arthur Braun, together with representatives of the monastery, Father William S. Faix and Father Juan Provecho López. Following the ceremonial welcome, soprano Markéta Fassati took to the stage, her voice resonating through the Church of St Thomas. The evening then moved to the monastery courtyard, where guests were treated to jazz music, excellent food and fine drinks. The highlight of the evening was a joint video presentation charting the firm’s twenty-year journey, culminating in a celebratory toast in its honour. As the evening drew to a close, the sounds of a harp echoed through the historic cloister, bringing the atmosphere of this exceptional evening to a perfect close.
bpv BRAUN PARTNERS is one of the leading international law firms in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, with offices in Prague and Bratislava. In 2026, the firm opened a branch in Liberec. bpv is a founding member of the bpv LEGAL alliance, which brings together leading law firms in Central Europe: bpv Hügel (Austria, EU-Practice in Brussels), bpv Grigorescu Ștefănică (Romania) and bpv Jádi Németh (Hungary). Colleagues from all the alliance firms attended the anniversary celebrations.
“This evening served as a powerful reminder of what makes our firm so special. It is our clients, our colleagues and partnerships built on trust and respect. This is the foundation on which we build, and we look forward to the next twenty years,” commented Arthur Braun, managing partner of bpv BRAUN PARTNERS.
Martin Provazník sa podrobnejšie venuje pomerne kurióznemu súdnemu prípadu, ktorý nedávno prebehol médiami a nemal by nikoho nechať chladným, najmä tých, ktorí radi odpovedajú emotikonmi 👍 O čo vlastne išlo?
On October 6, 2022 the European Council issued Regulation (EU) 2022/1854 stipulating the framework for a levy on excessive revenues from electricity sales. The individual member states are to determine the details regarding the Levy, including its final amount and the conditions under which it will apply to electricity.
Arthur Braun: "This is a matter of survival for law firms. They will become more digital, or they will disappear."
