✨ Meet Katarína Kubíčková, who has been with Sparring for 4 amazing years! 👩🚀 🚀 What makes her job so special? It's all about the people! Katka loves heading into work every day, excited to connect with both her colleagues and clients—always meeting inspiring individuals who make each day unique. Her advice to law students hoping to work with tech startups? 🎓 "Be curious, get to know the technologies, really try to get to know and understand this ecosystem. Without understanding the business of companies in this area, you can't provide them with sufficient legal advice."
