frequently asked questions (FAQ):
What types of contracts do you handle under Czech law?
I work with all types of contracts regulated by the Czech Civil Code, from purchase and lease agreements to construction, loan, or insurance contracts.
Can you draft a contract not explicitly mentioned in the law?
Absolutely. I regularly prepare customized contracts tailored to specific situations and business models
How does the process work?
We start with a consultation to clarify your needs. Then I prepare a draft, adjust it based on your feedback, and help finalize it to match your goals.
Can I contact you as a business owner?
Of course – I regularly work with entrepreneurs and companies. I provide assistance with framework agreements, NDAs, license terms, and more.
How much does contract drafting cost?
The price depends on the complexity and type of contract. I always offer a clear quote in advance – no hidden costs.
