CUSTOMER PROFILE
We will help you avoid
a wide range of complications down the road
Are you managing private matters or establishing a Homeowners' Association (HOA)?
Are you preparing to buy, sell, build, or lease? Most people build a house only once or twice in a lifetime. Renting out your current home to someone else is also a significant step. Whatever real estate or construction decision you are facing, we are here to support you.
Establishing an HOA and dividing your property into units? A well-drafted contract, owner’s declaration, or HOA bylaws can save you from numerous issues that may be hard to foresee now.
Are you looking for lawyers

SERVICES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF SPECIALIZATION
Legal services for individuals, homeowners’ associations (HOAs), and housing cooperatives
Purchasing an apartment or a house
Are you buying or selling? Monitoring every condition, checking for defects... it’s nearly impossible to cover it all. In most cases, a standard purchase agreement won’t protect your interests adequately. Let us draft a customized contract that addresses all the specifics. A skilled lawyer will point out what to watch for regarding liability for defects, liens, and financing.
Property rental
Are you a property owner preparing to rent out your home, apartment, or commercial space? We draft tailored rental agreements and terms that reflect your specific situation. We also provide guidance in case of conflicts over unmet terms. This includes matters related to registered business addresses and various exceptions.
Construction or renovation
Establishing a housing cooperative or a HOA
Are you building turnkey, doing some work yourself, or planning to renovate? We’re here to help you manage non-standard conditions—such as easements, issues with neighboring landowners, or shared access. We review model contracts from construction companies so you can be confident about what you’re signing. We’ll advise on key aspects of the contract, explain liability for the work, and highlight areas where it’s unwise to cut costs.
We prepare all essential documents for the operation of the cooperative, tailored to suit the property and the needs of the owners. We offer support on ownership rights, obligations, and responsibilities. We are here to assist you with disputes or court representation if needed.
SERVICES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF SPECIALIZATION
Legal support for entrepreneurs and businesses
Purchasing or leasing commercial premises
Should you buy or lease? What are the options and associated risks? And what implications do these have for lease agreements and their fulfillment? We can assess the various options and propose a solution that aligns with the company’s needs and life cycle—whether it involves financial leases, utilizing shell & core spaces, or establishing terms for long-term leases.
Turnkey contracts
Expanding production, building, innovating—all of these bring the challenge of coordinating multiple subcontractors, from construction firms to technology solution providers, and beyond. With our extensive experience in cross-border contract negotiations and alignment, we help clients mitigate the risk of potential litigation over the (non-)performance of contractual obligations.
Asset sales
Generational shifts in management, restructuring, or a complete sale? Real estate assets are closely connected to the life stages of a company. With our interdisciplinary expertise, we can assess and advise on the most suitable option for your current situation, guiding you through each step of the process.
Legal services for developers
We collaborate with clients planning urban residential developments, including single-family homes and apartments. We handle contractual documentation, licensing, and planning agreements with municipalities, establish project-related relationships, and manage property easements.
SERVICES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF SPECIALIZATION
Disputes and debt recovery
Real estate defects
This is the most common area we handle for our clients. We are approached by buyers, sellers, and contractors alike. Up to 80% of these cases could have been prevented if an attorney had tailored the contract to their needs.
Property disputes
The Czech Republic was among the first countries to make the Land Register and Commercial Register publicly accessible in digital form. While this offers many advantages, it also has its downsides. We frequently handle disputes involving land and real estate stemming from historical changes or ambiguities.
Debt recovery
Settlements after divorce and co-ownership
Unpaid invoices, disputes, and claims. Renovation or construction of any property is a dynamic process with many moving parts. We manage a range of disputes related to debt recovery.
Shared property and asset division after divorce, disputes that may impact business activities, boundary disputes, and co-owner disagreements—these cases are numerous and often complex. When possible, we work to resolve these matters with our clients out of court.
