We hold ourselves to the highest professional standards and the quality of our services is second to none. We endeavour to resolve the existing problems of our clients, but we have a pro-active approach to minimising any future problems.

We work to tight deadlines with ease and are available for our clients at any time. We provide legal counselling and associated services in both Slovakian and English.
The firm’s founding partner, Richard Mošať, works also in Nitra so he is well-versed in the legal and administrative environment of the government offices with which he regularly communicates, such as the Environmental Inspectorate, the Building Office, Labour Office, Land Register, Slovak Public Land Bank, and others. His in-depth knowledge of the Nitra environment is an advantage for international clients that do business in and around Nitra.
Richard Mošať, LL.M. established his own law firm, MOŠAŤ & Partners, in 2009. The law firm has its registered office at Partizánska 2, 811 03 Bratislava. Richard graduated from the Comenius University School of Law in 2002 with a master’s degree in law. After completing his university education, he spent two years in Australia where he obtained a diploma in marketing and studied for six months at one of the most prestigious universities in Sydney.
Richard gained professional experience as a trainee lawyer starting in 2004. From 2005 to 2008, he was a trainee lawyer at a renowned law firm in Bratislava employing more than 20 lawyers, where his practice was focussed on advising international clients. He has been a member of the Slovak Bar Association (SBA) since 2007 and is currently managing partner at his own law firm.
Richard has attended many language courses abroad and he graduated from a two-year study of European law organised by the University of Cambridge. Richard’s native language is Slovak and he is fluent in English, and is able to draft legal documents in either of those languages. Taking account of his current clientele, he is also learning Russian.
During his university studies, Richard lectured on law at various business high schools and he has been lecturing externally since 2008 on various business subjects (such as commercial law, land law, real estate law, procedural law and EU law) at the Slovak Agricultural University in Nitra for international students. He has also been a judge at the Court of Arbitration at the Institute of Arbitration since 2007, and since 2016 he has been a judge at the Permanent Court of Arbitration at the Association for Arbitration, where he decides consumer disputes on a regular monthly basis.
Richard specialises mostly in contract (binding) law and company law and has extensive experience in construction law, primarily in drafting and amending contracts for work. His practice includes standard and non-standard company matters and processes, as well as comprehensive labour relations.
For many years, Richard was actively engaged in advising one of the largest automobile manufacturers in Slovakia, particularly in respect of labour law and commercial law. He advised on labour matters, chiefly for international clients establishing a place of business in Slovakia, and represented international clients in procedures for obtaining residence permits in Slovakia, including administrative and judicial proceedings relating to the granting of residence permits.
Richard is experienced in providing legal services in building and land law, consulting in the purchase and sale of real property, and all types of contracts related to real property transactions, including leases.

We draft the contracts required for the conveyance of real property, and advise on acquisitions of real property, whether land, office buildings or commercial premises.
