WHY FORLEX
AVAILABILITY
We are a top-level team with over 15 years of experience in commercial law. We provide first-class legal services, formerly available exclusively from international legal centres - but this time at a price corresponding to our region.

EFFICIENCY
Your success matters to us. You can expect maximum endeavour, clear advice, tailor-made solutions and a goal-oriented approach. We can fulfil your business potential.
LOYALTY
We respect our moral and ethical obligations to our clients. Clients trust us for our loyalty, our individual approach, and our opposition to creating obstacles where none exist.
REGIONALITY
Our vision is a strong, prosperous and confident region where we live and work; a region where we contribute to the emergence of national and international leaders in all business areas.
EXPERTISE
We are the leading team in the regions of Moravia and Silesia. We are the first choice of successful international and local clients to deal with their demanding legal and business matters. In our work, we strive both to provide excellence in law and good orientation in our clients’ business and industry.
