For employers and HR teams
The most expensive employment law mistakes arise when people leave, not when they join. We prepare the documentation and process to reduce the risk of invalid termination. Where ongoing legal support is agreed, we also monitor changes in the law.

Tell us about your matter →Why employers work with us
Our team is four attorneys and an assistant. Your matter is always handled by an attorney.
- We represent the employer
We are not a firm that advises a business today and sues another in the same matter tomorrow. In employment law, we act on one side: yours.
- Legally prepared employment termination
Notice is more often invalidated by procedural errors than substantive ones. We guide you through the entire process, from grounds and service to the deadlines within which mistakes can still be corrected.
- Documentation that stays current
You buy the employer package once and we then keep it up to date as legislation changes. A lawyer always reviews each document update before it is saved to your folder.
Legal retainer
A legal department without hiring in-house.
A retainer covers your ongoing business legal work. We agree the monthly scope, response times and fee in advance, covering Czechia and Slovakia through one firm.
Legal Q&A
Common questions from employers
-
How long is the notice period, and when does it start?
The notice period is at least one month. If employment has lasted at least one year when notice is served, it increases to at least two months; for notice on organisational or health grounds after at least five years of employment, it is at least three months. The notice period always starts on the first day of the calendar month following service of notice.

We want to operate a guarding service. What do we need for a private security licence?
The regional Police Force directorate grants a guarding licence for ten years. For a company, it checks reliability and especially the people involved. Every statutory body member must be at least 21, of good character, reliable, medically fit and professionally qualified, with the required education and experience and a type P competence card after an Interior Ministry examination. Members with interests of 15% or more must be of good character and reliable. Attach personal documents, the founding deed and the fee. Unlicensed operation risks a fine and activity ban.

When am I entitled to severance pay, and how much?
Statutory severance pay mainly applies when the employer terminates employment on organisational grounds (closure, relocation or redundancy) or health grounds. The amount increases with years of service, from one to four times average monthly earnings for termination by notice, or up to five times for termination by agreement. There is no statutory severance entitlement for dismissal for misconduct.
