KSB advised Dioscorides Global Holdings, LLC

KSB advised Dioscorides Global Holdings, LLC (DGH) in negotiating, concluding and implementing an Investment Agreement regarding a joint-venture investment into Konomed s.r.o. The commercial purpose of the investment was to finance and commercially participate in a project involving the founding of the International Cannabis and Cannabinoid Institute in Prague.

KSB’s advice involved the creation of a mechanism by which DGH will acquire shares in Konomed and the negotiation of additional funding principles, all the while taking into consideration the need for the Investment Agreement, which was governed by the laws of the State of New York, to conform with with Czech corporate law. KSB also helped formulate the fundamental principles of a future acquisition agreement and shareholders’ agreement.

The ICCI (International Cannabis and Cannabinoids Institute) endeavours to explore medical cannabis and its components to treat patients in the future by making „custom-made“ preparations. The Institute will take advantage of the latest knowledge with regard to cannabis and biomedicine within the aim of creating, among other things, a platform for further research, education and sharing information.

Suburbanization Trends and Sustainable Commuting: Will the Construction Act Amendment Change the Landscape?

The discussion surrounding the current proposal to amend the Construction Act (Parliamentary Print 67) has moved to the committee stage in the Chamber of Deputies following its first reading. The primary declared objective is the acceleration of construction, particularly regarding residential buildings. The shortage of affordable housing remains a pressing issue in major cities, both in the Czech Republic and abroad, giving rise to the pervasive trend of suburbanization. This raises the question: does the proposed amendment truly have the ambition to reverse this trend, and will an increase in housing construction alone suffice?
