Do I need to travel there in person?

Usually not. With a written power of attorney a lawyer in Prague can act for you while you stay abroad. Some steps, such as transferring property, need an officially verified signature, which can often be arranged where you live.

How do I know a lawyer in Prague is licensed?

Every lawyer practising in the Czech Republic is listed in the public register of the Czech Bar Association. Search the lawyer's name there before you sign a power of attorney.

Will the court in Prague speak my language?

Proceedings are in Czech, but in civil cases you have the right to use your mother tongue and the court appoints an interpreter (Civil Procedure Code, Section 18). For everyday advice, choose a lawyer who speaks your language.

How much does a lawyer in Prague cost?

You agree the fee with the lawyer, usually per hour or as a fixed amount. If nothing is agreed, the statutory lawyers' tariff (Decree No. 177/1996 Coll.) applies. Ask for a written estimate first.

Choose a Legal Situation

Lawyer in Prague — Divorce

If you or your spouse live in Prague, or you married in the Czech Republic, a divorce with a Czech connection is governed by EU cross-border rules on top of Czech family law itself.

Lawyer in Prague — Marital Property Settlement

When a couple has property in Prague — a flat, an account, a business share — settling it after divorce is governed by rules that determine which country's law applies.

Lawyer in Prague — Child Custody and Support

A child living in Prague, or a parent based there who owes child support, both raise cross-border questions with their own EU-level rules.

Lawyer in Prague — Traffic Accident

A traffic accident in Prague involving a foreign resident has its own process for claiming compensation from the insurer, even from abroad.

Lawyer in Prague — Damages and Compensation

Lawyer in Prague — Debt Recovery in the Czech Republic

Recovering a debt from someone in Prague is often possible without travelling there, using simplified EU cross-border recovery tools.

Lawyer in Prague — International Divorce Jurisdiction

Jurisdiction for a divorce where one spouse is connected to Prague is determined uniformly across the EU by the Brussels IIb Regulation, typically based on the spouses' habitual residence; the separate question of which law applies to the divorce follows the Czech courts' own private international law rules.

Lawyer in Prague — Recognising a Foreign or Czech Divorce

A divorce granted in the Czech Republic, including in Prague, is in principle recognised automatically in other EU member states, and the same applies in reverse.

Lawyer in Prague — Parental Child Abduction

If a child was taken to or from Prague without the other parent's consent, or is being wrongfully retained there, the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction allows a parent to seek the child's return to their state of habitual residence — though the outcome depends heavily on the specific facts of the case.

Lawyer in Prague — Cross-Border Maintenance Enforcement

If the parent liable for maintenance is connected to Prague, the claim can be pursued through EU cross-border cooperation between central authorities, without necessarily starting a new case from scratch.

Lawyer in Prague — Deceased Connected to the Czech Republic

When someone connected to Prague passes away, the EU Succession Regulation (650/2012) generally gives jurisdiction to the courts of their last habitual residence and applies that same state's law to the estate as a whole, unless the deceased validly chose the law of their nationality.

Lawyer in Prague — Inheriting Property in the Czech Republic

Even though the succession as a whole may follow foreign law, transferring ownership of property located in Prague still requires the Czech land registry's own procedure.

Lawyer in Prague — Heir Living Abroad

Living outside the Czech Republic does not by itself prevent an heir connected to Prague from taking part in Czech inheritance proceedings, but it affects service of documents and representation.

Lawyer in Prague — Employment Contract Under Foreign Law

An employment contract for work performed in Prague generally follows Czech labour law as the law of the place of work, even if the employer is based abroad — the reverse situation (Czech contract, foreign workplace) works the same way.

Lawyer in Prague — Posting a Worker

Posting a worker temporarily to or from Prague keeps the underlying employment contract governed by the sending country's law, but the posted worker is also entitled to a hard core of local working conditions.

Lawyer in Prague — Unpaid Wages From an Employer Abroad

Where wages went unpaid in an employment relationship connected to Prague, the Brussels I bis Regulation often lets the employee sue in the place where they habitually carry out their work, not only at the employer's registered office.

Lawyer in Prague — Buying Property in the Czech Republic

Buying property in Prague is governed by Czech law regardless of the buyer's nationality, and differs in a number of ways from property transactions elsewhere — a general overview does not replace local legal advice.

Lawyer in Prague — Traffic Accident Compensation

After a traffic accident connected to Prague, a person injured or otherwise harmed can generally claim against the at-fault driver's insurer, often through a local claims representative rather than dealing with a foreign insurer directly.

Lawyer in Prague — Damage Caused in the Czech Republic

Where damage occurred in connection with Prague, the Rome II Regulation generally subjects the claim to the law of the country where the damage occurred, regardless of the nationality of the parties involved.

Lawyer in Prague — Liability for Damage Caused There

Damage caused in Prague is generally governed by Czech law and can typically be claimed at a Czech court, even where the person who caused it lives abroad.

Lawyer in Prague — Recovering a Debt From Abroad

Recovering a debt connected to Prague follows the same basic steps as a domestic claim (demand, court proceedings, enforcement), with jurisdiction and enforcement of the judgment governed by EU cross-border rules.

Lawyer in Prague — European Payment Order

The European Payment Order is a simplified procedure for an uncontested cross-border monetary claim connected to Prague, offering an enforceable title without a full civil trial in each country involved.

Lawyer in Prague — Recognising a Czech Judgment Abroad

A civil judgment issued by a Czech court is, thanks to EU rules, in principle recognised automatically in other member states and can be enforced there directly, and the same applies to a judgment coming the other way.

Lawyer in Prague — Traffic Accident Criminal Liability

A serious traffic accident in Prague is assessed under Czech criminal law regardless of the driver's nationality — this is a situation without one universal answer, since outcomes depend heavily on the specific facts and Czech criminal procedure.

Lawyer in Prague — Driving Under the Influence: Recognition Abroad

EU instruments of judicial cooperation in criminal matters allow a driving-under-the-influence conviction in Prague to be recognised and enforced in another member state under certain conditions — the exact effect on a driver's home-country licence depends on the type of sentence and the states involved.

Lawyer in Prague — Copyright Infringement and Cross-Border Licensing

Copyright protection connected to Prague exists in principle without registration thanks to international conventions, but the actual scope and enforcement follow the law of the country where the infringement occurred — this is a situation where a general answer does not replace assessment of the specific case.

Lawyer in Prague — International Commercial Arbitration

Arbitration is an alternative to court litigation for disputes between business partners from different countries, including matters connected to Prague — an independent arbitrator or tribunal decides based on the parties' agreement, usually an arbitration clause in the contract.

Lawyer in Prague — Drafting an Arbitration Clause

A well-drafted arbitration clause for a contract connected to Prague prevents disputes about where and how a future dispute will be resolved — it should set the seat of arbitration, the language of proceedings, the applicable rules, and the number of arbitrators.

Lawyer in Prague — Enforcing a Foreign Arbitral Award

The 1958 New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards allows an award issued in one contracting state to be enforced in another — over 170 states have ratified it, including the Czech Republic and the vast majority of EU and non-EU countries.
