Renatus Kollar and Lucia Raimanova have been appointed as Co-Managing Partners of A&O Shearman's Bratislava Office.
Kollar and Raimanova take the helm of the office following the passing of former Managing Partner Martin Magal. As A&O Shearman puts it, Magal's "contributions to the firm will be remembered with deep gratitude."
Kollar has been with the firm since 2002, first as an Associate between 2002 and 2007, then as a Senior Associate between 2007 and 2011, and as a Partner since 2011.
“I am honored to step into this role alongside Lucia and to build upon the legacy that Martin left behind," Kollar commented. "His dedication and vision have set a strong foundation, and we are committed to continuing that work with our market-leading team here in Bratislava. Partnering with Lucia in leading the office is a great privilege.”
Raimanova joined the firm in 2004 as a Senior Associate and was promoted to Counsel in 2016 before becoming Partner in 2021.
“Renatus and I have a shared vision for growth, innovation, and client excellence, and I am excited to collaborate closely with him and our talented team, which comprises 25 lawyers, including five counsel, as we work to achieve new milestones,” added Raimanova.
