JUDr. David Strapáč, LL.M.
A strategic legal partner for your business, investments and cross-border transactions
David provides highly specialised legal advice to Czech and international companies, investors and senior management. He focuses primarily on comprehensive commercial and corporate matters, mergers and acquisitions, financing and legal risk management.
Law that understands business
David’s greatest added value lies in his unique professional background. Unlike typical external advisers, he has spent a significant part of his career in senior legal roles within international corporations. He is therefore able to perfectly combine the precise perspective of a lawyer with a deep understanding of business realities, internal processes and companies’ strategic objectives.
“Legal advice should facilitate business, not hinder it.”
David does not look for theoretical obstacles, but for pragmatic solutions. His aim is to help clients make confident decisions, protect the long-term value of their business and successfully implement even the most complex commercial projects.
Key areas of specialisation
He is authorised to practise law in both the Czech Republic and Slovakia, which puts him in an excellent position to coordinate cross-border projects in Central Europe. He represents clients across a range of sectors – from financial services and technology, through manufacturing and energy, to the property sector.
He most frequently assists clients in the following areas:
Mergers, acquisitions (M&A) and corporate restructuring Commercial law and the negotiation of strategic contractual relationships Banking and finance (including security documentation) Corporate governance, regulation and compliance Market entry and international expansion Employment law (particularly in relation to senior management)
