Vladimír Foldyna promoted to Principal Associate: Eversheds Sutherland counts on his litigation experience

Vladimír Foldyna, known for successfully defending clients' interests in civil courts, has been promoted to Principal Associate at Eversheds Sutherland's Prague office as of July. He has quickly become a vital member of the litigation team, particularly due to his specialisation in cross-border litigation and consistent approach towards handling complicated cases.

Vladimir focuses primarily on civil litigation, including complex claims for damages, claims for unjust enrichment, disputes relating to rights in immovable property or in the context of commercial corporations. Since joining the team in the summer of 2023, he has taken on a number of challenging cases from the legal field. Additionally, he regularly handles cross-border cases, drawing from Eversheds Sutherland's global network as well as his expertise in private international law.

Vladimír graduated from the Faculty of Law of Masaryk University in Brno and from the Moscow State Institute of International Relations, where he acquired, among other skills, a perfect command of the Russian language. As such, he is one of the key lawyers for Eastern European clients. Before joining Eversheds Sutherland, he worked as an independent counsel and for the International Department of the Ministry of Justice as a senior ministerial advisor, among other jobs.

"I appreciate the trust I have been given at the firm and I am delighted to have the opportunity to be involved in cases that are professionally challenging and truly impactful," says Vladimír Foldyna.

"Vladimír has quickly earned the respect of our team and clients. His promotion is a logical next step - he has become indispensable in representing us in key disputes, often with high reputational and financial value," comments Bořivoj Líbal, managing partner of the firm.

This promotion confirms that litigation is one of the key specialisations of Eversheds Sutherland, which, due to its strong international background, provides its clients with the highest level of legal service even in cases spanning foreign jurisdictions.
