I had met Honza at previous get-togethers at various professional legal forums, but we only got to know each other properly on occasion of the Komora 2.0 project. In the context of that project, I suggested to Honza that he should run for board membership at the Czech Bar Association. By coincidence, Honza had just gone private and begun to practice law as an independent attorney-at-law. Once we, the partners of Arrows law firm, had agreed on heads of terms based upon which ETL Global would enter Arrows as a strategic investor, we retained Honza and Václav so that they could bring the deal to a close. For one thing, we felt we shouldn’t act as our own legal counsel, but we also wanted the support of someone with years of experience with this kind of transaction, someone renowned, someone ranked by the internationally recognized benchmarks of Chambers or Legal500. Last but not least, the sensitivity and confidentiality of the matter called for someone who wasn’t a direct competitor of ours.
