Kocian Solc Balastik (KSB) is one of the largest and most respected law firms in the Czech Republic. The firm was founded in 1990 and has almost seventy legal and tax advisers based in Prague, Ostrava and Karlovy Vary. It is KSB’s deep knowledge of the law, together with its strong industry focus, that sets it apart from its competitors, both local and international. The firm has repeatedly been recognised by prestigious rating agencies, and was named Czech Law Firm of the Year (for the fourth time) at the Chambers Europe Awards for Excellence 2017. The firm is international in outlook, advising across borders and on matters of Czech and English law. It is also an active member of various professional networks, which allow it to deploy the very best local lawyers on regional and global transactions. KSB's activities extend beyond the commercial sphere. The firm strongly believes that lawyers have a role to play in society and the professional community, such as defending human rights and upholding the rule of law. KSB's partners are active in the International Bar Association, of which senior partner Martin Solc was the president in 2017 and 2018, as well as Czech and other international legal organisations.
