„I will help you make the right business decisions that comply with all legal requirements.“

What I like about law...

...is helping clients to find solutions to complicated and seemingly hopeless situations.

From time to time...

...I allow myself a lazy weekend, doing nothing, lying in front of the TV and ordering out for pizza.

My favourite joke:

A client explains his problem to a lawyer in a lengthy and complicated manner. The lawyer is bored and interrupts the client: “Please, your job is to tell me about the case as briefly as possible. My job is to make the case as confusing, complicated and lengthy as possible.” That's why we want to be different.

I decided to join POLÁČEK & PARTNERS for a number of reasons: the team of talented and ambitious lawyers led by Pavol Poláček, an experienced partner, the firm’s excellent reputation, as well as the pleasant working environment and interpersonal relationships .

Before joining POLÁČEK & PARTNERS, Ivan Gašperec worked for two years as a lawyer at the Directorate General for Competition of the European Commission in Brussels. He also worked for Havel, Holásek & Partners between 2011 and 2014, where he provided legal advice on competition law, energy, environment and public procurement issues. In 2010, he completed his internship at the Directorate General for Competition, where he dealt with State aid to large investment projects. Ivan is a member of the Research and Scientific Group for Effective Application of Competition Law in the Slovak Republic which prepares draft amendments to the Slovak Competition Act. He graduated from Comenius University Law School in Bratislava and studied European Business Legal Studies at the University of Amsterdam. He speaks Slovak and English.

In his free time he likes horse riding.
