Chambers Europe Awards 2025: Skils wins Czech Republic law firm of the year

Skils Law Firm has been honored with the prestigious Chambers Europe Awards 2025 – Czech Republic Firm of the Year, recognizing it as the best law firm in the Czech Republic. The results were announced at a grand gala event held on May 29, 2025, in Madrid, attended by our partners Karolína Horáková and Pavel Gonda, who personally accepted the award.

The Chambers Europe Awards, often likened to the legal Oscars and representing the highest international accolade a law firm can receive, are presented by the renowned British rating agency Chambers & Partners, which also publishes the most respected rankings of law firms worldwide. These awards are based on detailed and well-founded knowledge of the legal services market in individual countries, which the agency has been meticulously monitoring for over 30 years.

Skils’ managing partner Karel Muzikář emphasized the value of this recognition: “We greatly appreciate this award because it stems from a thorough analysis of the work of significant law firms in the Czech Republic over the past year and from client references evaluated by an independent foreign agency. We have received confirmation that the service we provide to our clients is truly unparalleled and that Skils is synonymous with top quality.”

For Skils, this is the fourth Chambers Europe Award: in 2008, 2009 and 2013, while operating as Weil, Gotshal & Manges, it won the title Czech Republic International Firm of the Year.

Chambers & Partners:
“Skils has a prominent presence in the Czech market, maintaining its top positions in areas such as Dispute Resolution, Projects & Energy and Competition/Antitrust and also advancing to the top band in Corporate / M&A. The firm offers a deep bench of experienced practitioners, frequently assisting with high-profile transactions in the jurisdiction. ‘We consider Skils to be the premium provider of legal services on the Czech market,’ says one impressed client, going on to praise the team’s ‘very attentive client service, sound judgement as well as long and deep experience in the relevant industries.’ Another interviewee attests that the lawyers have ‘extraordinary skill set, positive approach and out-of-box thinking.’ ”
