"Mavericks professionals represented us at several meetings and were responsible for all legal documents. As a leader in venture capital funding in CEE, we were able to leverage their extensive experience and knowledge in all the areas that were part of the transaction." 

"They are really specialists in this type of transaction. They understood very well the whole process, our needs, our priorities. They were able to negotiate very important conditions in our favour throughout the transaction.

"Excellent cooperation, both on the expertise and communication side. They already have a well-deserved reputation as the most prominent VC law firm in Czech Republic and Slovakia, both for start-up founders and investors. As they focus exclusively on the area of VC and technology, they have gained great knowledge of global industry standards and the specificities of the CEE VC market. They understand the business side of the VC transactions and help both sides to conclude the transaction smoothly and in a way that helps investors and start-ups to build the company in the future and raise follow-on rounds from prominent western VC, which greatly helps the overall VC ecosystem thrive. Also, they are the only ones in the space specialising in very new areas like competitive gaming (esports)." 

"The law firm was very knowledgeable, and able to communicate complex issues to all the stakeholders in a very clear way. They also came up with creative solutions to our very specific issues. They gave me great confidence that we had covered all the necessary bases." 

"The lawyers we worked with were amazingly professional. They knew their subject matter perfectly, and were able to communicate complex subject matter in ways that were clear for everyone. Throughout the entire process, the level of confidence in their input and output was 100%."
