Business obligations, registers and licences
Your regulatory obligations — data protection, AML, reporting systems, registers, licences and authorisation.
Regulatory obligations are growing faster than anyone can keep track of them. This practice area brings them together: personal data protection and cybersecurity, AML obligations, whistleblowing systems and the deployment of artificial intelligence.
We act as an authorised person in the Slovak Register of Public Sector Partners (RPVS): we prepare the verification document, arrange registration and monitor changes that require an update. By authorising a document, a lawyer assumes responsibility for its content; it is more than signature certification.

The most common questions in this area
-
Who is a beneficial owner, and how are they identified?
A beneficial owner is always an individual, never a company. In a company, this particularly includes anyone with a direct or indirect interest of at least 25% in voting rights or registered capital, the right to appoint or remove statutory or supervisory bodies, control by other means, or entitlement to at least 25% of the economic benefit. If no such individual can be identified, senior management, meaning the statutory body, is treated as the beneficial owner.

What happens if we are not registered in RPVS or miss annual verification?
The consequence is more than a fine. If beneficial owner verification is missing, the public-sector counterparty is not in default when it withholds performance for that reason, so it may lawfully withhold payment of your invoice. False or incomplete data can bring a company fine equal to the economic benefit obtained, or otherwise EUR 10,000–1,000,000, and EUR 10,000–100,000 for the statutory representative. The two-year re-registration ban arises in the sanction cases governed by Section 13a, not after every voluntary deletion.

What must an RPVS verification document contain, and who prepares it?
Only an authorised person, a lawyer, notary, bank, auditor or tax adviser, prepares the document to evidence beneficial owner identification or verification. It must explain the information supporting the conclusion, state the partner's ownership and management structure and confirm that the facts match what was actually established. It must not contain a personal identification number or another generally applicable identifier.
