Čechová & Partners, one of Slovakia’s leading full-service law firms, is proud to announce the promotion of Miroslav Zaťko to the position of partner, effective from March 1, 2026.

 Miro, who has been with the firm since 2014, has consistently demonstrated exceptional legal expertise and a strong commitment to the firm’s values and clients. This promotion marks a significant milestone in his career and further strengthens the firm's team.

Miro first joined Čechová & Partners as an associate.

He subsequently returned to Čechová & Partners to continue his professional development. In 2019, he successfully completed the bar exam and has since been practising as an attorney at the firm.

Miroslav focuses primarily on corporate law, mergers & acquisitions, dispute resolution, insolvency & restructuring, and financial services regulation. He is also a member of the Restructuring and Insolvency Task Force within AmCham Slovakia, contributing to professional dialogue and legislative developments in this area. His expertise and professional qualities have also been recognized by leading international legal directories. Legal 500 ranks him as a Rising Star in Commercial, Corporate and M&A, while IFLR1000 recognizes him in Banking and Finance as well as Corporate and M&A.

“Miro’s promotion to partner is a natural step. He is an exceptionally hard-working lawyer and a true professional who approaches every matter with precision and responsibility. At the same time, he is a supportive and reliable colleague – someone who is always willing to help and who contributes to a positive and collaborative team environment. It is a pleasure to work with him, and we are confident he will continue to play an important role in the further development of our firm,” says Tomáš Maretta, Managing Partner of Čechová & Partners.

Beyond recognising Miro’s professional expertise and personal qualities, this promotion also reflects Čechová & Partners’ long-standing commitment to developing and empowering younger talent within the firm. By creating real opportunities for growth and leadership, the firm ensures that the next generation of lawyers can fully realise their potential and advance to the highest levels of the profession.
