Regulation can determine the success of an investment.

The success of a startup, a development project or an investment often depends less on the idea itself than on how early you sort out financing, ownership structure and permitting. ARROWS partner Jáchym Petřík wrote about exactly this for Hospodářské noviny. Read where the biggest risks arise and why legal input belongs at the start of a project, not the end.

We are pleased that Hospodářské noviny has dedicated space to a topic that our lawyers regularly encounter in their daily practice. For investors, founders, and developers, timely legal and regulatory analysis can help identify significant limitations before they invest significant time and capital into a project.

“The greatest risk does not arise from a project lacking potential. It arises when financing, ownership structures, and regulations are addressed separately,” says Jáchym Petřík, LL.M., a partner at the ARROWS law firm.

The article shows that a project's value can be affected by an unsuitable ownership structure, incorrectly set up financing, a complicated permitting process, or unclear relationships between the investor, developer, and other parties. Therefore, law and regulation should not enter the project only when the business model is complete. They should be part of its design from the very beginning.
