Jan Stejskal is a seasoned international lawyer with a strong focus on cross-border transactions involving Central and Eastern Europe, particularly the Czech Republic. Qualified to practise law in England and Wales, the Czech Republic, and New York, Jan brings a unique blend of legal insight across multiple jurisdictions, allowing him to provide seamless advice on both domestic and international matters.

His transactional practice spans corporate fundraisings, joint ventures, acquisitions, and private equity investments. Jan regularly represents leading private equity funds, family offices, financial institutions, and global corporates across diverse industries, including technology, telecommunications, energy, manufacturing, real estate, and financial services. His deep familiarity with the commercial and legal landscapes of the CEE region makes him a trusted advisor for clients navigating the complexities of cross-border investment and expansion.

Jan is particularly adept at handling matters where Czech legal considerations intersect with foreign jurisdictions.

His ability to bridge legal systems and business cultures positions him as a key point of coordination on international deals with a Central European dimension.
