CMS has appointed Tomas Matejovsky as the new Managing Partner of CMS Prague and Juraj Fuska as the new Managing Partner of CMS (CMNO) in Bratislava, effective May 1, 2024.
Matejovsky took the role after Helen Rodwell concluded her third consecutive term as the Prague Managing Partner. She will continue to be based in Prague, focusing on clients and complex M&A transactions across CEE, and will also continue to serve as a member of the global Board of CMS Cameron McKenna Nabarro Olswang.
Currently head of the Commercial, Regulatory, and Disputes practice, Matejovsky has been with the firm since 2008, first joining as a Senior Associate. In 2011, he was promoted to Partner. Before that, he was a Senior Associate with Vyskocil, Kroslak a spol. between 1999 and 2008.
"Becoming the Managing Partner of CMS Prague is a privilege," Matejovsky commented. "I’m genuinely excited about the opportunity to lead and contribute to the continued success of our Prague office and the firm as a whole. I would like to thank Helen for her unwavering commitment to leading the Prague office and building a world-class team dedicated to the success of our clients. The Prague office has grown significantly under Helen's leadership to become one of the leading law firms in Prague and I look forward to working with Helen and the wider team to deliver on our ambitious plans."
Currently head of the Corporate/M&A team at CMS Bratislava, Fuska joined the firm in 2023 (reported by CEE Legal Matters on February 10, 2023). Before joining CMS, he was a Partner with White & Case Slovakia, where he spent over ten years. After that firm's withdrawal from Slovakia (as reported by CEE Legal Matters on March 8, 2022) Fuska managed the rebranded operation – Aldtree Legal – for a year.
"I am honored to take on the role of Managing Partner for CMS in Bratislava," Fuska commented. "Helen has done a remarkable job leading our Bratislava office since its inception and I am eager to build on this strong foundation. I look forward to bringing my experience to this new leadership role as I am committed to pursuing excellence in every endeavor while continuing to deliver exceptional service to our clients. I have no doubt that working with our talented, globally-minded team will fortify our market reputation as the leading law firm in Slovakia. I am very grateful for the trust and support that I have received from CMS and I am very much looking forward to building on that trust and support in the future."
