Jan Grozdanovič

Jan Grozdanovic was born in Czechoslovakia and studied law at the prestigious Charles University in Prague before defecting to the United Kingdom in 1980. From 1981 to 1985, he attended the London School of Economics, during which time he completed articles at Gregory, Rowcliffe & Co. In 1988, he qualified as an English solicitor. Over the years, Jan has gained extensive experience in the legal field, including a year at the City of London firm Berwin Leighton, six years at the London offices of international firms such as Baker & McKenzie and Allen & Overy, and 11 years at Seddons Solicitors. There, he spent the final two years as Managing Partner of their Prague Office, before founding his own firm, JGA Legal, in 2006.

Jan was admitted to practise law as an advocate in the Czech Republic in 1995. He is one of the few dual-qualified English and Czech solicitors practising globally and is also a registered arbitrator with the Arbitration Court attached to the Economic and Agricultural Chambers of the Czech Republic. He was a founding member of the Association for Foreign Investment in the Czech Republic (of which he is now an Honorary Member) and served as Chairman of the British Czech and Slovak Law Association of the United Kingdom. Jan was also a member of the Board of the British Chamber of Commerce from 1997 to 2000 and again from 2003 to 2006. He is a founding member of the International Business Forum and a regular public speaker on legal issues related to doing business in the Czech Republic.

In addition to his legal work, Jan is an avid runner, having completed 16 marathons (including the historic Marathon to Athens) and 12 half marathons. He divides his time between Prague and Marbella, frequently spending time in the UK to meet the needs of his clients. Jan has represented numerous Czechs and Slovaks based in Marbella and works closely with several leading local law firms. This network ensures that, while providing hands-on legal support, he can also draw on the expertise of Spanish legal specialists when needed.
