Foreign investors intending to establish a company in Slovakia often face practical obstacles in the early stages. One of the most common issues is the lack of physical presence in the Slovak Republic – clients do not yet have rented premises, employees, or a managing director capable of handling the initial steps associated with forming and launching the company.

For these situations, our law firm offers the nominee director service – a temporary staffing solution that bridges the initial phase of a company's existence until the client is ready to enter the Slovak market in full.

It is important to note that Slovak law does not require the managing director of a Slovak limited liability company to be a citizen or resident of the Slovak Republic. However, the role of a managing director involves personal legal responsibility – including civil liability and, in certain cases, even criminal liability for the proper fulfillment of their duties. For this reason, no responsible individual would agree to be listed as managing director without a true understanding of the business and its operations.

Our law firm is exceptional in this regard. Thanks to our legal expertise and rigorous internal control mechanisms, we are able to provide the nominee director service under strictly defined legal and operational conditions. We offer this service exclusively in cases where we have full insight into the client’s business and where transparency, legality, and compliance with all regulatory requirements are guaranteed.

Important note:The nominee director provided by our law firm is always an attorney – a licensed legal professional with a minimum of ten years’ experience in corporate and commercial law. This level of qualification is essential for ensuring maximum legal certainty and professional performance of the role.

If you are interested in this service or would like to learn more about the terms of cooperation, please do not hesitate to contact us. We will gladly provide further information tailored to your specific needs and requirements.
