SINCE 2009

Our story

TARPAN was founded in 2009 — at the moment the financial crisis reached the Czech Republic. Four partners with extensive corporate experience decided to build something different: a firm on the way to becoming a corporation, but one that would never actually become one. Today TARPAN Group comprises three specialised companies — Partners, Legal and Managers — connected by a shared approach, team and values. Over 17 years we have become a trusted partner to business owners, investors and top management across Central Europe.

The lava story

The story of lava

Our clients usually come to us at the moment when change is desired or inevitable. A volcanic eruption is the perfect image of such change — once it begins, it cannot be stopped. Just as lava permanently transforms the landscape, defining decisions transform the nature of businesses and leave a lasting mark. The trial by fire takes many forms: the sale of a company built over a lifetime, an acquisition that sets the next direction, or a distressed situation where every decision counts. At TARPAN Group we understand what our clients are going through and we are with them through even the most demanding moments.

​How We Work

We are a boutique advisory group. We work with a limited number of clients to ensure every situation receives the time and full attention of our senior team. This enables us to respond quickly, personally and without unnecessary delays.
