Petra Konecna Makes Partner at Eversheds Sutherland in Prague
Former Eversheds Sutherland Counsel Petra Konecna has been promoted to a Partner position in the firm's Prague office.
Konecna, who is the Head of the firm’s Banking & Finance team, also focuses on corporate and M&A work. She joined her current team almost nine years ago, back when it was Dvorak Hager & Partners, as a Principal Associate, stayed on through the 2019 rebranding, and was appointed a Counsel in 2021. Before that, she spent seven and a half years with Schoenherr.
Eversheds Sutherland with offices in Bratislava and Prague and as part of an international network, provides comprehensive legal advice also in foreign jurisdictions.
Our team consists of a total of more than 40 lawyers in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, most of whom have previously worked at major international and local law firms and have extensive experience in particular in the areas of corporate law, including mergers and acquisitions, capital markets, real estate, employment law, competition law, litigation and arbitration, energy, infrastructure, as well as environmental and ESG law.
Our advisory services are offered in Slovak, German, Czech and English language. Members of our team include attorneys registered with the Austrian Bar Association. On this basis, and because we are part of Eversheds Sutherland, we are also able to offer extensive legal support on various foreign legal issues.
We listen to our clients, we understand their business and we also understand what they need. So we can always find the best solution for the particular situation. We work quickly, efficiently and take responsibility for our work.
