The head of corporate at Eversheds' Prague office has quit the firm to take up the same role at CMS Cameron McKenna's base in the Czech capital.
Tomas Krutak joined Camerons on 10 May after eight years at Balcar Polansky Eversheds, the last four of which he headed up the office's corporate practice.
He replaces Richard Bacek, who left Camerons on 30 September 2009 to take up a regional general counsel role for Siemens' Czech operations.
Krutak has advised both national and foreign investors on acquisitions in the Czech Republic and other countries within the Central and Eastern European (CEE) region.
He said: "I had spent many years at Eversheds and was looking for a change when Camerons approached me.
"The firm is really dedicated to the Czech and CEE market, which makes it very distinctive from other international firms that have a presence here, and I was drawn to this dedication. I will be responsible for developing the Czech client base and managing 15 lawyers."
Camerons head of CEE corporate Helen Rodwell said: "We are acknowledged as having the best M&A practice in the Czech market, which enables us to attract talent such as Tomas.
"Our existing team also has unique expertise in public-private partnership (PPP) work – Tomas is one of the few senior lawyers in the market who shares such expertise and is therefore an ideal addition. We have the M&A and PPP market in Prague cornered now."
Camerons currently has CEE offices in Bucharest, Budapest, Kiev, Prague, Sofia and Warsaw.
