Administrative Law
Has the building authority halted your project? Has a regulator fined you? Administrative proceedings have strict rules and short deadlines. We help you meet them and defend your interests.
Typical situations
You had a permit, but the authority suspended or revoked it. Construction is halted and every day costs you money.
A regulator or authority imposed a penalty. You consider it disproportionate or unjustified.
The authority has started proceedings to revoke your licence. Without it, you can't operate.
The tax office reassessed your tax, launched an audit or issued an assessment you disagree with.
New environmental rules impact your operations. You need to understand what you must comply with.
Someone else won the contract and you have doubts about whether the tender process was fair.
You filed a freedom-of-information request and the authority is silent or refused. You have the right to appeal.
The state or the municipality wants part of your land in the public interest. You're dealing with whether the compensation is fair.

Regulatory fines and sanctions
Administrative lawsuits and cassation appeals
Licensing and authorisation proceedings

Misdemeanour proceedings
In administrative law, details and deadlines decide the outcome. A missed deadline means a lost right, so we act fast.
Process
We study the administrative decision, verify compliance with procedural rules and assess the chances of a successful challenge.
We draft the appeal, remonstrance or administrative action. In administrative law, what counts is the quality of the argument and meeting every deadline.
We represent you before administrative bodies and courts. We communicate with authorities professionally and efficiently.
From our practice
Building permit
A developer held a valid building permit and had started construction. A neighbour lodged an objection 3 days after the deadline, yet the building authority suspended the proceedings anyway. We appealed on the ground that the right to object had lapsed. The regional authority found in our favour within 6 weeks and construction resumed.
Regulatory fine
The company was fined by the Czech National Bank for late reporting: not for fraud but for a procedural error. The fine had been set without regard to the corrective measures the company had taken in the meantime. We had it reduced to a third of the original amount.
