Assistance on another IT transaction
Commander Services was established in 2005 and has since become the Slovak leader in the GPS vehicle monitoring segment, providing comprehensive solutions for customers, including electronic logbooks, fuel cards, automatic tachograph data downloads, active vehicle monitoring and more. The company has four branches in Slovakia and two in the Czech Republic.

The transaction advisory in Slovakia was managed by AK Relevans.
For more information on this transaction, please see Solitea's press release or media coverage, for example here.
As of December 1, 2022, Solitea will be renamed Seyfor. Martin Cígler, CEO of the company, explains the reason for the rebranding: “We want to be clear to customers around the world, and the name Seyfor will not limit us on new markets by being similar to the name of local companies." For more details, see the press release. On behalf of all of KSB’s team, we wish Seyfor just as much success under its new name as it has had so far.

Evidence skutečných majitelů: Co přinese znepřístupnění od 17. prosince 2025?
Letošní rozhodnutí Nejvyššího soudu a Nejvyššího správního soudu navázala na rozsudky Soudního dvora Evropské unie, a, s platností i pro Českou republiku, konstatovala, že zveřejňování údajů v rámci evidence skutečných majitelů představuje nepřiměřený zásah do základních práv majitelů na soukromí a ochranu osobních údajů. Důležitým aspektem těchto rozhodnutí byl závěr, že sankce, které postihují povinné subjekty jako reakce na nesplnění jejich povinnosti zápisu do evidence skutečných majitelů, není možné vymáhat, dokud je evidence veřejná. Tato situace se změní 17. prosince 2025, kdy ministerstvo znepřístupní evidenci skutečných majitelů; povinným subjektům tak budou opět hrozit závažné sankce.
30th Advent Concert for the Committee of Good Will – Olga Havlová Foundation
This year again, during the pre-Christmas season, the Advent Concert of Good Will took place. Since 1995, it has been organised by the law firm Kocián Šolc Balaštík in support of the Committee of Good Will – Olga Havlová Foundation. This was already the 30th anniversary edition, made exceptional by the fact that we organised it for the first time together with our partner, Smetanova Litomyšl, as part of a broader mutual cooperation. As always, the concert was held in the concert hall of the Church of Sts. Simon and Jude in Prague’s Old Town.
