What do our clients say?

“JŠK’s lawyers are able to think outside the box. As well as the law, they also understand regulation and issues to do with the energy industry. When you are dealing with these things, you need really good lawyers and that’s exactly what we found at JŠK.”

Martina Krčová, Member of the Board of the Energy Regulatory Office

We know that a lot is at stake. That’s why you will appreciate our expertise all the more.

We have been very much involved in the energy industry for many years. That’s why we understand market relationships and the ins and outs of national and European regulation. But we are not that closely connected to any player that it would prevent us from providing objective and independent services. Few markets have faced such fundamental changes in the past as the energy market. But for us, changes are a challenge and for our clients an opportunity.
