The approach of Mgr. Jakubička is appreciated by many for its ability to provide a comprehensive analysis with reflection on the details to solve the case. He leads our Arbitration and Dispute Resolution, IT/IP and Competition team of lawyers. He not only applies strategies to his work aimed at achieving realistic goals, but also applies the counter-party perspective essential for a lawyer. The implementation of possible counterarguments into the resolution of client matters provides an opportunity to see other, non-traditional dispute resolution options (current or even possible in the future), which Mgr. Jakubička specializes in. Mgr. Jakubička is internationally recognized in the field of Arbitration and Dispute Resolution and is regularly published in the international Legal500 rankings.
