Contractual law

Our team specialising in contract law is comprised of around 30 lawyers. We work for dozens of Fortune 500 and Czech Top 100 companies, mid-sized and small companies and entrepreneurs, as well as public sector entities. We have many years of experience in administrative proceedings with regulatory authorities and in representing clients in litigation.  

Our clients face complex and serious challenges in their daily business. We have extensive experience in drafting and revising contracts and successfully negotiating contractual terms, as well as assessing complex commercial claims and relationships, drafting expert opinions, including litigation before courts, state authorities and in resolving disputes in general.

The optimal setup of a franchise or distribution network, introduction of new technology to computerise business transactions, ensuring the delivery of technological units for a new factory or correct assessment of risks arising from a contract with a foreign supplier or customer – in all these cases, our clients require not only a full understanding of the commercial aspects of their business, but mainly the ability to correctly reflect these aspects in the contractual documentation. Perfect knowledge of the regulatory requirements, which are often crucial to the content of the contract or the business terms, is also an obvious prerequisite. With their know-know and extensive and diverse experience gained in virtually all areas of business, our team is ready to meet these demanding requirements.

We cover a wide range of business sectors – starting from industry and services, consumer goods, retail, food, pharmaceuticals and healthcare, through education, information technology, media, telecommunications and leisure to automotive, transport, logistics, aerospace and defence and the arms industry.
