I joined Allen & Overy Bratislava in 2000 as the fifth member of a very small team at that time. 

Business grew very quickly so we started to hire more and more legal and support staff. In October 2001 we moved to new premises in the Carlton Savoy Building in the heart of the city. Within a few years, there were 30 people in the office.

In October 2010 we changed premises again. Now we have 40 employees and are situated at a prime address on the beautiful banks of the river Danube.

When I look back, so many things have changed since then. Before I started at A&O I already had some experience with administrative work, but not as a legal assistant. There was a huge amount of new information, tasks and practice in front of me. The first years were not easy, but I gained so much knowledge and experience that it was definitely worth it.

Ten years later my view is much broader. Through my work as a legal and marketing assistant I now know much more about the marketing side of our practice. I organise various events, manage our library, open new files, arrange business trips and work with our client relationship management software.

Last but not least is the team I work with. It has an enormous impact on my work - this team is really something. And that makes my work more fun and more human.
