At DLA Piper we are committed to contributing to the wellbeing of communities around the world.

We encourage our lawyers to do pro bono work that is meaningful, impactful and supports those in need. New Perimeter, our nonprofit, provides pro bono legal assistance in under-served regions around the world to support access to justice, social and economic development and sound legal institutions.

Our Break Into Law project is a worldwide initiative focused on removing barriers to employment within the legal profession, while we have pledged $6.5m over the course of our three-year partnership with Unicef to improve child justice.

We are proud to be signatories of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), as our support for the initiative underlines our commitment to responsible business.

DLA Piper strives to be a leader in environmental sustainability and undertakes initiatives to reduce the environmental footprint of its business activities in line with our Global Environmental Policy.

The Slovak Republic has established extremely positive investment conditions for external investors including significant tax relief, and further reforms are expected in the areas of public procurement, banking, pensions, healthcare and education. Keeping up with the regulatory and legal environment is key for Slovak and international businesses.

DLA Piper Weiss-Tessbach responds to the unique demands of this legal environment. Experts in local law and procedure can help you devise the best structure for your business and the appropriate contracts to help manage your relationships including distribution, procurement, leasing, employment, real estate and much more.

The Slovak Republic has shown strong economic growth in recent years and the government has focused on the economic reforms necessary to integrate the Slovak Republic into European and multilateral trade organisations, including the OECD and the EU. As Slovak businesses restructure and modernise they are providing strong demand for new equipment and technologies, which has spurred growth in key sectors such as electrical machinery, information/management and communication systems, financial services, environmental products and services, automotive components, and production processes.

In a competitive regional environment, enterprises are increasingly choosing the Slovak Republic as a centre for regional operations. Through our office in Bratislava we can provide integrated advice on your activities in the Slovak Republic and throughout Central and Eastern Europe.

We also speak your language – lawyers in Bratislava speak English, German, Czech, French, Russian and Hungarian and provide full legal advice on all commercial legal issues in the Slovak Republic.
