PwC Careers hero

Petr Kincl, Managing Partner at PwC Legal

Join the team of one of the largest global networks of law firms.

We are part of one the world’s largest networks of law firms and we therefore work on very interesting cases for Czech and foreign clients. PwC attorneys are prepared to stand up for their clients every day in order to ensure that their business does not get lost in the complications of any legal issues.

Thanks to our in-depth knowledge in the area of law, we are able to answer every legal question and, using the best digital tools, we can overcome (almost) any legal challenge. And it does not matter if that involves a transaction, an unnamed contract, a new regulation, a complicated cross-border conversion or setting up AI at a client.

What will you learn?

In this role, you will apply legal principles to specific business cases, conducting research and analysis on various legal issues.

Your responsibilities will include preparing legal filings and documents, while leveraging state-of-the-art technologies and tools.

You'll contribute to client presentations and materials, benefiting from collaboration with colleagues across PwC.

Engaging in challenging legal projects will deepen your understanding of client business operations, allowing you to devise suitable solutions.

This position offers a comprehensive legal experience tied to real-world business applications.
