In July 1999, Allen & Overy was the first UK-based international legal practice to establish a branch in Bratislava, building on the transactional experience accumulated on Slovak matters in London and Prague since 1992. Allen & Overy quickly established itself as a market leader in the Slovak Republic, with a reputation for being the practice of choice due to its quality, service and commitment. We are ranked in tier 1 in all major international legal directories and in terms of leading local awards (Trend/epravo), we have won the award for the Best International Law Firm of the Year seven years in a row. Our lawyers participate in the shaping of the Slovak legal environment.
