The Legal 500 for 2025: New recognitions and expanded expertise

In 2025, we have once again received significant recognition in The Legal 500 rankings for our key practice areas. This year, the list of categories we are ranked in has expanded to include Commercial Law, Corporate Law, and M&A, in addition to the three areas from last year.

A fourth area added

Managing partner Pavol Poláček:

"I'm pleased that our firm is gradually expanding its services while continuing to maintain a high level of specialization and expertise, and that this is being recognized by prestigious international ranking agencies. Thanks to this, we are able to provide our clients with top-tier legal services not only in the energy sector but in other industries.  As a result, we can be a reliable partner for them in handling a wide range of legal matters." 

About The Legal 500

For 33 years, The Legal 500 has been analysing the capabilities of law firms across the world based on a comprehensive research programme that is revised and updated every year to bring the most up-to-date overview of the global legal market. It assesses the strengths of law firms in more than 150 jurisdictions. The results of their work can be viewed free of charge at legal500.com.

The rankings are based on submissions from law firms and interviews with leading private practice lawyers, but mainly on feedback from 300,000 clients. This is what our clients have said about us in each area of expertise:  

Projects and energy (tier 2)

‘The P&P team is composed of experts with specific skills in various areas of legal energy legislation, with each member bringing unique experience in their respective field to ensure the project is handled comprehensively.’

Real estate (tier 3)

‘I was very pleased with the legal services provided by Šimon Hudák. He quickly understood our needs and demonstrated a strong ability to act promptly and efficiently. His insights were both practical and aligned with our objectives, which made the collaboration smooth and effective. I look forward to working with him again in the future.’

Dispute resolution (tier 4)

‘There is always great cooperation with the legal office Polácek & Partners. They provide legal services on a very high level, the communication is always very fast, which is not typical for every legal office and the legal advices are very professional. We appreciate the approach of this legal office towards the client.’

Commercial, corporate and M&A (tier 5)

‘We mostly work with Šimon Hudák and Patrik Repka and both are always very helpful, willing to communicate and give advices, and also very professional and kind too.’

We are pleased that these rankings reflect our commitment to delivering high-quality legal services and our strong position in the Slovak legal market.
