FAMOUS LITIGATIONS

This section lists some of the cases known from the media, in which we provided or are still providing legal services.

The Czech Republic – representation at the European Court of Human Rights – rent regulation (2007)

After winning the tender, the law office signed a contract for providing legal services to the Czech Republic in connection with actions, filed against it by apartment block owners at the total amount of CZK 40 billion.

ODS – Kořistka Case (2007)

We are legal representatives in this sensitive political case, well-known from the media, which involves people in high political places in this country.

Komerční banka Case (2006)

We achieved significant success in the defence of this famous case, in which the accused managers of Komerční banka, a.s.  (charged in connection with the receivables due from the firms of the entrepreneur Alon Barak) were acquitted.

Smrček Case (2004)

This case involved a dispute between our client - a journalist, and the Head of the Secret Service. By winning this case we helped to shift the borders of correct perception of constitutionality and constitutionally guaranteed rights in the Czech Republic.

Matiční Case (2005)

This case represented a contest between the constitutionally guaranteed rights on both sides of the dispute. The result, which we managed to achieve, was the cancellation of the decision of the Chamber of Deputies by the Constitutional Court. Thereby the system of law of this country and its standards approximated yet again to democracies of the western type.

CME Case (2005)

In this case our efficient defence of the rights and interests of our client – a foreign investor and the owner of TV NOVA contributed to the fair untangling of the case. It concerned litigation between the former TV Nova Director Dr. Železný and our client about the NOVA television channel. Protection of the interests of foreign investors is one of the basic principles we respect.

Hučín Case (2007)

This case, inspiring much media interest, involved a former secret service agent, a staunch democrat, who was bullied by the police and judicial machinery, and it ended victoriously, when Mr. Hučín was fully acquitted of all charges.

Hrubant Case (2005)

This case was also connected with the secret service. This former agent was also fully exonerated of all charges and can now breathe easy.

Kadlec Case (2006)

This case involved a dispute between the Law Office partner JUDr. Devátý and the Director of the National Security Office, Mr. Kadlec.
