My career so far
2011-now: General Counsel at KKCG
2006-2011: Senior lawyer, Clifford Chance Prague (corporate and real estate)
2000-2006: Andersen Legal, Prague
Education: Charles University, Prague (law degree, later Ph.D.), UAM Madrid (law, two semesters in an LLM-type program), University of Economics, Prague (degree in Economics)
I wanted to join a top-notch, international law firm - to grow as a lawyer, person and professional. That's why I joined Clifford Chance after the first six years of my career. I left Clifford Chance after five years of interesting and demanding work, to pursue an offer to join KKCG as the general counsel of the group.
My most rewarding experience
My most rewarding experience was simply working with the team at Clifford Chance, with an overall approach of collaboration, that prefers sharing and cooperating over pure individualism, producing high standards of product and legal advice in general.
