To successfully change over to the new euro currency, we consider it necessary to create in our clients and the wider public a feeling of confidence and satisfactory knowledge. Our law office acceded in full on 20 June 2008 to the Ethical Codex for Introduction of the Euro, which was established in cooperation with the Government Attorney for introduction of the euro in Slovakia and the Business Alliance of Slovakia (Podnikateľská aliancia Slovenska). Starting on 15 July 2008, our law office put dual display of prices for legal services on all invoices and cash vouchers in both Slovak crowns and Euros. More details on changeover to the new euro currency can be found on http://www.euromena.sk
