For the first time, The Slovak Spectator brings its Largest in Law rankings in other areas of law – commercial, insolvency, tenders and regulatory. We have published the ranking in labour law for the first time in 2020.
In the new categories, we are only publishing the winning law firms with 2020 revenues higher than half a million euros, which was also the main selection criterion for addressing firms to collect data. There are also smaller law firms on the Slovak market specialising in particular areas, like economic competition or labour law, so-called boutique law firms. These firms may have ranked high in the new areas, which is why we are only announcing the absolute winners in them.
We sought the largest law firms in the given areas of law through the combination of several measurable criteria – turnover, the number of transactions in individual areas with rewards exceeding €20,000, and the number of lawyers working for the firm.
