About Us

rutland & partners was founded by 15 lawyers previously working at rutland jezek, established in 2010 by Monika Rutland, former partner of White & Case, and several other senior lawyers from White & Case Prague. Since then, rutland & partners developed strong position on the Czech market in many legal sectors (mainly real estate, M&A, defence, medicine and IT start ups). In our corporate practice we represent international investment companies and funds in the acquisition of real estate and companies in the Czech Republic, including joint ventures. Furthermore, we have extensive experience in commercial contracts, corporate governance, leasing, employment and other operational matters important for companies based in Czech Republic. Over 60 percent of our clients are foreign entities from all over the world. Our experience equips us well to interpret the specifics of Czech law for our foreign clients. As of 2021, we are also part of Andersen Global, an international network providing best in class tax and legal services around the world.

 

We also have managed to build a large, worldwide base of private clients in the field of investment in the Czech Republic (mainly in real estate and IT start ups), cross-border wills and trusts, and immigration to the Czech Republic for employment and investment purposes. Our legal team is stable and we pride ourselves on serving the same clients for a number of years. We like to build long-term relationships with our clients and learn their business from top to bottom in order to make our services effective in terms of time and price. Our long-term experience with a prestigious international law firm helped us to gain thorough expertise in the most complicated M&A transactions, which we can offer to our clients for very competitive fees. In addition, we offer fee caps and flat rates.

 

Our motto is: Quick response, high quality product, competitive fees.

 

As an additional service through our affiliate firm Quick Companies, we offer for sale ready-made Czech companies that provide our clients an opportunity to start their Czech business with us from the beginning. We provide a ready-made company, followed by obtaining a business license, concluding Czech employment contracts, obtaining Czech immigration visas and drafting commercial contracts in the course of ongoing business.
