Civil Law


# Where agreements end,
our work begins


Civil law touches everyday life — from contracts to liability to property rights. We handle cases where real money and real relationships are at stake.


Typical situations


## Recognise your case?


### Your neighbour built on your land


The boundary doesn't match reality. Your neighbour won't negotiate and you're unsure whether court is worth it.


### A contractor left the job unfinished


You paid upfront but the work is incomplete or defective. Complaints go nowhere and the firm won't respond.


### Someone owes you money and won't pay


You have an invoice, a contract or an acknowledgement of debt, but the other side isn't responding. You need to know how to collect.


### Your landlord won't return the deposit


You moved out, handed back the flat in good condition, but the deposit isn't coming. The landlord keeps inventing deductions.


### You caused damage and received a claim


You got a letter from a lawyer or insurer demanding compensation. You're not sure whether — or how much — you should pay.


### Heirs can't agree on how to divide the estate


After a family member's death, the family can't reach agreement on the inheritance. A court dispute over property, money or valuables looms.


### The debtor ignores your demands


You've sent one reminder, then another — no response. Out-of-court efforts have failed and it's time to consider litigation.


### Neighbour dispute over an access road


Your neighbour has blocked access to your property or is challenging an easement. Without agreement, litigation looms.

Process


## How we work


 01


### Mapping the situation


We review documents, establish the facts and assess your legal position. We'll tell you what your options are and what's realistic.


 02


### Solution strategy


We propose a course of action — negotiation, mediation or litigation. Always with an eye on costs and likely outcomes.


 03


### Execution and representation


We negotiate with the other side, prepare filings and represent you in court. You'll be kept informed throughout.


From our practice


## Decision moments


Neighbour dispute


### Is it worth going to court over one metre of land?


A neighbour moved the fence a metre onto our client's plot and refused all discussion. The strip of land was worth little — but the precedent for the entire parcel was not. We filed a claim and reached a settlement that resolved both the boundary and access road. Without legal action, the dispute would have escalated for years.


Lease


### Can a landlord terminate when a tenant only partially pays?


The tenant paid regularly but always CZK 2,000 short, citing apartment defects. The landlord wanted immediate termination. We assessed that partial payment did not support termination — and proposed a formal notice with a reasonable deadline. The tenant paid the arrears within 3 weeks.
