Professional directorship

Managing Director · Board Member · Supervisory Board Member

Your Czech entity needs a statutory body member who understands local law, acts in compliance, and is available when it matters. We are not a nominee director service — we take on real governance responsibility for your entity.

All functions are exercised exclusively by attorneys registered with the Czech Bar Association. With statutory confidentiality obligations, professional liability insurance, and the duty of care of a prudent manager.

How the service works

What the service is and what it is not

We exercise the function of a statutory body member with full legal responsibility. This means we act on behalf of your company, sign documents, communicate with authorities and oversee compliance with statutory obligations.

We are not a rubber stamp. Every mandate begins with a thorough onboarding — a review of the company, establishment of cooperation rules and a clear definition of what we can sign autonomously, what requires your approval and what we will never sign.

The service does not include tax advisory, bookkeeping, operational business management or HR. The company must retain its own accountant and tax advisor for us to exercise the function.

Onboarding

Every mandate begins with mandatory onboarding. Before accepting the function, we conduct a legal review of the company, verify the status of filings in the Collection of Deeds, review the ownership structure and assess potential risks.

We will not accept the function without sufficient information about the company’s status. We only work with transparent ownership structures.

Clear mandate and signing rules

For each company, we establish individual rules — what we can do autonomously, what requires your prior approval and what cannot be done without a general meeting resolution.

These rules protect both sides. Without them, the exercise of the function would be unpredictable and risky for everyone involved.

Fees

The service is priced individually based on the type of entity, the scope of the function and the risk profile of the mandate. Fee structure: a one-time onboarding and setup fee + a monthly retainer for the ongoing exercise of the function. Work beyond the standard scope is billed separately.

Specific terms available on request.

Our rights and obligations

We have the obligation — and the right — to refuse any instruction that violates Czech law, the professional rules of the Czech Bar Association or the duty of care of a prudent manager. This is non-negotiable and derives directly from the law.

If, based on available information, we determine that the company is insolvent, we are legally obligated to act — including filing an insolvency petition, even without your consent.

Attorney-client confidentiality applies to all facts we learn in connection with the exercise of the function.

Your obligations

We expect complete and truthful information about the company’s status, its liabilities, disputes and ownership structure. On an ongoing basis — not just at the outset.

You will designate a contact person available during Czech business hours. You will ensure the company retains an accountant and tax advisor, and you will provide us with access to the data box and other systems within the agreed scope.

If anything material changes — a new liability, a threatened dispute, a change in ownership — you will inform us without delay.

Termination

The engagement can be terminated with three months’ written notice. Termination of the legal relationship does not automatically terminate the function — the function is terminated separately through a corporate resolution and removal from the Commercial Register.

Upon termination, you will arrange for a successor and provide cooperation for the handover. If you fail to arrange a successor, we are entitled to resign from the function unilaterally.

In the event of a material breach of your obligations, an illegal instruction or a breakdown of trust, we have the right to terminate immediately.
