What our clients said

I had the honor to cooperate with Zuzana Skýpalová several times as she provided legal representation to our company in various business matters. One particularly challenging case involved managing a complex breakup agreement with a business partner. This process included non-compete clauses, payment structures, project division, and conditions for future cooperation.

Zuzana's professionalism, helpfulness, and clarity stood out throughout this entire process. She quickly adapted to our needs, communicated effectively, and ensured everything was resolved efficiently and at the highest level. Her ability to handle even the most complex cases with such precision and speed made her an invaluable partner for our company.

I highly recommend Zuzana to anyone looking for reliable, proactive, and qualified legal support.

In 12 years of business, I have never encountered such a professional approach as Zuzana’s. Literally many times I felt she was thinking beyond the legal context to align the best legal-business interests. The level of proactivity, engagement, and speed helped us close acquisitions in record times and smoothly. Besides that, Zuzana is very personable, explains things simply, and had excellent communication skills in meetings with the other party. We used her services for challenging business and technology acquisitions. Thanks to her support, we were able to make better decisions based on mutual trust and transparent communication. I can definitely recommend these legal services to any entrepreneur planning to expand their activities through acquiring technologies or companies.

I want to thank the great lawyer, top professional, and exceptional expert JUDr. Zuzana Skýpalová from SKYLEX for her expert guidance and obtaining official state accreditation in Malta. Without SKYLEX, the opening of our University would not have happened!
