Mgr. Karel Huneš

In his practice, Karel Huneš, M.A., has long focused on construction law and related areas of public law, particularly administrative, land, and environmental law. He provides legal advice to clients across the construction sector—from developers and investors to construction companies and public entities. In his work, he draws not only on legal regulations but also on the practical functioning of construction projects and the decision-making practices of administrative authorities.

Within his specialization, he has extensive experience with construction proceedings, both in the building permit phase and regarding changes during implementation. He also focuses on the legal framework of planning agreements, land-use planning issues, and the preparation of legal analyses of territories, which serve as a basis for investors’ strategic decisions.

Karel is involved in providing legal support for projects at various stages of their preparation and implementation. He focuses primarily on situations where it is necessary to align legal requirements with the actual course of construction.

Typically, this involves areas such as:

• legal support in permitting processes and negotiations with public authorities,
• representation in construction and zoning proceedings, including amendments and related processes,
• preparation and review of contractual documentation in construction,
• resolving disputes among project participants,
• assessing liability for damages and the impacts of construction activities,
• legal issues related to land use and construction regulations,
• legal support in preparing planning agreements and in amending zoning documentation.

He performs these activities with an emphasis on ensuring that the proposed solutions are not only legally sound but also practically feasible.

ARROWS Law Firm’s Experience in Construction Law

In his practice, Karel has participated in projects of varying scales—from individual construction projects to larger-scale investment initiatives.

As a result, he has particular experience with:

• coordinating relationships between the investor, contractors, and other construction participants,
• applying construction legislation to specific project situations,
• resolving conflicts between private and public interests,
• representing clients in administrative proceedings and before administrative courts,
• assessing zoning plans and preparing legal analyses of the territory for the purposes of investment projects.

This experience enables him to provide legal advice tailored to the specific context of the project, rather than relying solely on general legal provisions.

Situations Handled by Lawyers at ARROWS

Clients turn to Karel primarily in cases where specific legal issues related to project implementation need to be addressed, such as:

• complications in construction or zoning proceedings,
• the need to establish or amend contractual relationships among construction participants,
• the emergence of a dispute between the investor, contractor, or affected parties,
• assessment of legal risks associated with an investment project,
• addressing liability for environmental impacts or damage to third-party property,
• the need to evaluate land use options or amendments to the zoning plan.

In these situations, he provides legal support with the aim of stabilizing the project and minimizing legal uncertainty.

When providing legal services, Karel proceeds from the premise that construction projects involve a combination of legal, technical, and economic factors that must be assessed in their mutual context.

In his work, he therefore places emphasis on identifying legal risks in the context of a specific project and on proposing solutions that are defensible not only from a legal standpoint but also vis-à-vis public authorities and other parties to the proceedings. At the same time, he takes into account the time and economic impacts of individual solution options, which can have a significant influence on the course and success of the project.

This approach is also reflected in his collaboration with clients, to whom he provides legal services, particularly in situations requiring systematic and expert management of construction and investment projects. His role is to ensure that the client has access to legal solutions that comply with current legislation, stand up to scrutiny in administrative proceedings and potential disputes, and simultaneously reflect the practical realities of construction and development.

The goal of this approach to legal consulting is to support clients in their decision-making during the various phases of a project and to contribute to its stable and predictable progression.
