One of the things I personally value in advocacy is the ability to turn complex processes into something clear and concise. Whether navigating case intricacies or simply answering a question with care, I strive to make each interaction one that builds trust and understanding.

Having personally navigated complicated immigration procedures, I understand firsthand the advantages that effective and efficient advocacy presents. This background is what motivates me in my current role.

My approach is grounded in thorough communication. I aim to meet each client where they are and offer support and guidance through the journey, bringing both practical insight and a human touch to the work I do.

Outside of the office, I have a deep appreciation for film— studying the production process, as well as appreciating the sense of wonder that watching a good movie provides. I find that film personally inspires my creative side and allows me to gain insight into many different perspectives I wouldn’t otherwise experience.

I see advocacy as both a privilege and a responsibility – not just because you’re speaking for someone else, but because words shape outcomes.

To me, law is a tool for navigating real people and real problems, knowing what to say and what matters when things get complicated. A good lawyer shouldn’t simply be making things sound smart – but rather making smart things work.

As a paralegal, I’m currently combining my studies with practical legal experience, as I believe that theory and practice should grow together. Being in the real world alongside experienced professionals gives theory more meaning and keeps me on my toes. Working in an environment where high standards are lived, not just expected, challenges me, sharpens my thinking, and motivates me to grow into the kind of professional I aspire to be.

When I’m not buried in textbooks, you’ll probably find me running, lifting something heavy on purpose, or spending time with animals – preferably not all at once. I’m a huge animal lover and try to help whenever I can. I enjoy staying active, not just because it’s good for the body, but because it teaches consistency, which, frankly, is a great skill to practice, both in law and life.

Founder & Managing Partner

Ján Falath

Founder & Managing Partner

I founded Falath & Partners in 2019 after gaining extensive expertise working for top-ranking law firms in Slovakia, representing international and domestic clients on various local and cross-border matters.

My practice focuses on dispute resolution at all levels of the legal system, commercial and corporate matters, technology and innovation, real estate transactions, and various regulatory issues. I also serve as an arbitrator in domestic arbitrations. I advise clients in a pragmatic, forward-thinking way, with a business-oriented approach. I help find solutions to the most complex situations. I also endeavor to be socially responsible and contribute to the enhancement of the Slovak legal environment.

The opportunity to build a fully-integrated law firm from scratch is one of my crowning achievements. I enjoy sharing my experience with colleagues, and take pleasure in watching younger staff develop their skills and ambition. My eagerness to learn allows me to constantly improve my professional expertise, and I encourage my team to do the same.

While I spend much of my time leading the firm’s strategic development, working on exponential growth, and delivering long-term, sustainable competitive advantages, I continue to deepen my skills in business management. Aside from day-to-day matters, I enjoy traveling, learning new things (even outside of the law), and keeping my body strong and my mind sharp, clear, and focused.

I see advocacy as a means of self-fulfillment via its fundamental mission: service to people. Through this, I can assist clients in achieving justice, defending and asserting rights and claims, and fulfilling their own goals, whether business or personal.

I pride myself on confidentiality and open communication when working with clients. This allows clients to describe their ideas and concerns in detail, enabling us to find the most appropriate solution.

My primary focus is complex real estate law. Outside of this, I regularly represent clients in civil and commercial matters across the legal system. Before joining Falath & Partners, I obtained a Ph.D. in civil law after successfully defending my dissertation on the Acquisition of Real Estate from a Non-Owner. I have also authored and co-authored over a dozen scientific articles and publications, mainly on real estate, construction, family law, inheritance law, and litigation.

In my spare time, I am involved in self-development and trends in technology. In today’s fast-paced world, I consider continuous learning to be the key to success, allowing me to broaden my horizons in various fields.

I regard advocacy as a way to empower my clients. I believe that we can only delve into the details of your ideas and concerns by fostering a transparent and empathetic relationship, which will ultimately pave the way for the most effective solutions. My commitment to clients is rooted in trust, confidentiality, and open communication.

A part of my academic journey led me to England, where I immersed myself in the vibrant world of common law, with a particular focus on British company law, media law, and family law related to adult relationships. This experience has equipped me with a unique international perspective, which enriches my approach to legal matters.

My expertise is further complemented by my deep understanding of continental law, which provides me with a strong foundation in areas such as criminal law, civil law, public procurement, and data protection. This dual legal perspective allows me to navigate the intricacies of legal systems with precision. By drawing from the best practices of both continental law and common law traditions, I am able to offer a comprehensive and well-rounded approach to address your legal needs.

Outside of my legal pursuits, I enjoy focusing on self-development and staying on the cutting edge of technological trends. In our fast-paced world, I firmly believe that my continuous learning allows me to provide you with the highest level of service across various domains. Your success is my mission, and together, we will achieve it.

I’ve been part of Falath & Partners since its early beginnings, and I’ve never practiced law elsewhere it was my gateway to this intellectual craftsmanship. Advocacy taught me that a good lawyer understands the meaning of words and knows how to use them correctly. Speaking and writing are not difficult, but the thoughtful use of the right words requires tremendous skill. That’s why I say we lawyers don’t form sentences; we craft them.

I approach every client similarly, which means I communicate with them honestly and openly to ensure their expectations are realistic. I strive to understand each client’s desired goal and offer them a simple yet bulletproof solution. My goal is that, at the end of the day, each client can sigh with relief that their matters are entrusted in good hands and that the best possible outcome is their top priority.

In my practice, I handle dispute resolution in all fields of law, primarily civil, intellectual property, and administrative law. My job is not only to argue, but I also do contracts and documentation, primarily in civil and corporate matters, as well as intellectual property and real estate matters. Last, but not least, I am involved in criminal defense and defending the interests of victims in criminal proceedings.

Outside of the office, I relax by lifting weights. I strongly believe in the Greek kalokagathia the body needs to be trained and improved as much as the mind. Lifting weights is also a tool for me to clear my head after a hard day at the office and prepare it for the new challenges that await me the next day.

Office Manager

Ema Vrbovski

Office Manager

Working as an office manager in a law firm gives me the privilege of overseeing the day-to-day operations in a dynamic workplace. In this role, I have developed my organizational and managerial skills, while gaining valuable insights and understanding into the unique needs of the legal profession and high-pressure environments.

I’ve had the opportunity to play a pivotal role in ensuring our firm’s smooth and efficient functioning. From administration management to coordination with colleagues and clients, my responsibilities are diverse and demanding. I have found this role incredibly rewarding, both personally and professionally.

Another important aspect of my role is maintaining constant communication with clients, mainly from the United States and Canada, and providing support and guidance as needed. Since I’m highly organized and detail-oriented, with a strong ability to prioritize tasks and manage multiple projects simultaneously, I can help our team deliver exceptional service to those who rely on us for legal assistance.

I am passionate about reading mystery and crime books, and predicting their plots. Coincidentally, I am almost always right. When I want to take a breather from work—rare, but sometimes necessary—I enjoy watching low-key TV shows and letting my mind wander.

In my opinion, what makes a good lawyer is the ability to effectively resolve a client’s legal issues. The key to providing such service is thorough preparation. As Benjamin Franklin said, “By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.”  Therefore, I always strive not to underestimate any circumstances and to be ready for all possible scenarios when managing clients’ cases.

In my practice, I primarily focus on citizenship matters for foreign clients, mostly from the United States. This typically involves processing temporary and permanent residency and citizenship applications. Additionally, I assist colleagues with general legal matters across various branches of law. Before joining Falath & Partners, I worked at another prominent law firm, focusing mainly on business and labor law.

Outside of work, I’m a huge sports fan, and the gym is where I unwind. Music is another passion of mine. I love attending concerts and dream of playing my DJ set for a crowd one day.

Paralegal

Dominika Mištinová

Paralegal

Law serves as a foundation for justice, helping to resolve disputes and protect the rights of individuals and communities. That fascinates me and made me want to study law.

As a dedicated law student with a strong focus on criminal, business, and family law, my passion for the legal field is driven by my belief that fairness and ethical principles should guide all decision-making.

Beyond my academic work, I actively participate in student organizations and projects that allow me to sharpen my analytical and communication skills. These experiences provide opportunities to collaborate with peers, engage in meaningful legal discussions, and apply theoretical knowledge to real-world issues. I am always seeking to broaden my understanding and practical expertise in law.

My goal is to become an attorney who provides effective representation for clients and contributes to the ongoing improvement of the legal system. I believe that law, guided by ethics and fairness, is a powerful tool for promoting justice and building a more equitable society. I am committed to using my skills to advocate for protecting individual rights and advancing justice.

Counsel (Ukraine)

Olha Chyzhykova

Counsel (Ukraine)

In my work, I am guided by the principle that there are no unsolvable problems or hopeless situations. My relationships with clients are based on confidentiality, openness, and trust.

Having worked as a lawyer since 2011, I have extensive experience in developing and supporting investment projects—among others—in many areas of business, consulting on public procurement procedures, and minimizing risks in taxation. I have a successful practice in resolving commercial, tax, banking, real estate, and other disputes, as well as in the bankruptcy proceedings of enterprises, using all legal remedies.

As a Master of Law majoring in civil, commercial, and labor law, I am also a Certified Intellectual Property Specialist.

My cooperation with Falath & Partners allows for the valuable union of Ukrainian and Slovak lawyers in various projects involving the expansion and relocation of businesses and employees, and in providing support to clients on migration issues. Our synergy helps to comprehensively solve clients’ problems in various legal systems.

My greatest passion is traveling. I am also interested in self-development and psychology, specifically in studying the brain’s potential and the power of the subconscious.

Viktoriia Minkova

Over the course of twelve years, I have gained extensive experience working in enforcement bodies responsible for carrying out legal decisions. As an attorney, I have further honed my legal expertise and am equipped with the knowledge and skills to represent clients in various legal matters.

Moreover, as a certified specialist in change management and strategic management, I possess a unique skill set that allows me to navigate complex legal situations with ease, while also considering the larger picture and potential implications for my clients.

Throughout my career, I have successfully represented clients in a variety of legal areas, including civil, administrative, and criminal law. My track record of positive outcomes for my clients speaks to my dedication and commitment to achieving success on their behalf.
