IFLR1000 2025 Results: Once Again at the Top and a New Recognition for Our Team

The latest results of the prestigious international IFLR1000 ranking are out. How did our firm perform in the global rankings, and what new achievements did this year bring? Read more in the article below.

Still among the best

Our firm has once again defended its tier 1 ranking in Project Development, which includes energy, construction, and infrastructure projects.

“The firm’s practice has a significant presence in the photovoltaic industry, renewable energy, hydro-energy, vehicles, biogas, energy suppliers, gas and oil, construction and energy sectors”, states IFLR1000 in its evaluation of our firm.

In the area of M&A (Mergers and Acquisitions), we were once again ranked among “notable” law firms.

Pavol Poláček is once again among the top lawyers

As in previous years, Pavol Poláček was ranked among the “highly regarded” lawyers in Project Development in 2025.

“I see this recognition as confirmation of our ability to combine top-tier legal expertise with practical understanding of energy and infrastructure projects. I appreciate that in times of dynamic change, we can be a reliable partner for our clients – fast, pragmatic, and focused on results. I would like to thank our clients for their trust and our team for their professional work,” said Pavol Poláček, managing partner of the firm.

New Recognition: Juraj Ondrejka among ‘notable practitioners’

This year also brings a special reason to celebrate – Juraj Ondrejka has been listed for the first time as a notable practitioner in the category Project Development. His recognition proves that our team continues to grow and deliver top-quality work across all areas.

“Being included in the IFLR1000 ranking is primarily the result of our clients’ trust and the high-quality teamwork within the firm. Energy and infrastructure projects require a practical approach, a strong understanding of their broader context, and the ability to find functional solutions even in a dynamic environment. I therefore greatly value the cooperation with our clients and colleagues, without which such recognition would not be possible.”
