DRV LEGAL

We are a law firm based in Brno, with an office in Prague, providing professional services in Central Europe


We represent clients not only in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, but also in Germany. Thanks to our team of German-qualified lawyers who reside in the Czech Republic and are fluent in Czech, we offer expert legal services in German law. This enables us to effectively combine knowledge of both local and foreign legal systems and to provide comprehensive support to clients at the international level.

We are also a member of two prominent international alliances – Visegrad+ Legal and World Link for Law™, which enable us to operate on a global scale. We are involved in international transactions and legal matters across the world on an almost daily basis.

DRV LEGAL is a key player not only in the Czech market, but also in Germany and Slovakia. We provide top-tier legal advice to both domestic and international clients. Our work includes transactions that regularly rank among the top six largest in the Czech Republic, and we represent leading banks and insolvency practitioners in the most significant restructuring and insolvency cases.

We specialize in a broad range of legal areas, from M&A (mergers and acquisitions), corporate and real estate law, to insolvency, restructuring, and litigation, as well as transactional law, private equity, and financing. We represent renowned investment funds, foreign investors, banks, developers, and leading manufacturing companies. Our clients know they can rely on us in any situation.

Our firm's operating model enables us to provide flexible legal services that are often lacking in large multinational law firms. We approach our clients’ matters with a fundamentally individual strategy, ensuring that unnecessary administrative complexity does not stand in the way of the desired outcome—saving our clients valuable time and resources.

We have experienced and qualified consultants who work in sector-focused teams. We assemble a team of dedicated professionals for each project so that the client receives a service tailored to their needs.

NEWSLETTER 2/23

Tax deductibility of interest on acquisition loan

 Jan. 30, 2023

As part of our new newsletter, we have prepared an update on a relatively recent ruling regarding the tax deductibility of interest on an acquisition loan in the event of a subsequent merger following the acquisition of Target. This is the first time this issue has been addressed by courts and the tax authorities are arguing with the abuse of the law. A rational decision has been made here, so far in the first instance. We are going to closely monitor the further development of the case.
