Commercial Disputes, Litigation and International Arbitration

In the area of commercial disputes, we handle breaches of contract, supplier and customer conflicts, construction, development and manufacturing disputes, IT, logistics and technology-related issues, claims for damages, and management liability. We provide complete representation before Czech courts at all levels, including applications for interim measures, securing evidence, appeals and extraordinary remedies, as well as enforcement and execution of judgments.

Our international disputes and arbitration practice covers proceedings under both Czech and international rules. We represent clients in cross-border commercial conflicts, before arbitral institutions worldwide, and in matters involving parties outside the European Union. With experience across multiple jurisdictions, we manage disputes with full awareness of differing legal cultures and the specific requirements of individual markets.

How does cross-border enforcement work?

Imagine that you win a dispute against a foreign company in a Czech court. However, the judgment itself may be useless if there is no international treaty ensuring its recognition and enforcement in the country where the other party is based. This process can be lengthy and uncertain.

This is where the power of international arbitration comes into its own. Thanks to the New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards, signed by the vast majority of countries in the world, an arbitral award issued in one country is as easily enforceable in another country as a domestic judgment. This gives arbitration a huge advantage in international trade.
