Approach to Regulatory Consulting

Regulation of the financial market and technology projects is not merely a matter of meeting legal requirements, but above all of properly structuring the company’s entire operations. Jáchym therefore bases his work on the client’s specific business model and its practical functioning.

He emphasizes ensuring that the proposed solutions are sustainable in the long term, withstand regulatory scrutiny, and simultaneously enable effective business development. This includes not only obtaining the license itself but also the subsequent setup of processes, internal rules, and ongoing compliance activities.

Clients seek out Jáchym particularly when they need to integrate legal, regulatory, and investment perspectives on their project.

Typically, these are situations where:

• they are preparing an investment or fintech project,
• entering a regulated financial market,
• addressing licensing requirements of the Czech National Bank,
• setting up compliance and internal processes,
• or seeking legal support for innovative technological solutions.

In these cases, he provides legal advice aimed at structuring the project so that it is legally sound and simultaneously feasible in the long term.

Jáchym Petřík provides legal advice to clients who need a reliable foundation for their investment and technology projects in an environment where law, regulation, and business intersect.
