Litigation and compensation
When a dispute is under way — representation, damages, shareholder disputes and unfair competition.
A dispute begins with deciding whether it is worth pursuing, before any claim is filed. Before we submit anything, we explain what you can prove, your prospects and the likely cost.
We represent clients in commercial disputes and litigation on both sides of the border: damages and unjust enrichment, shareholder disputes, unfair competition and intellectual property disputes. Where it makes sense, we seek an out-of-court solution first.

The most common questions in this area
-
Someone filed agreements transferring our properties with the land register, but we did not sign them. What should we do?
Act immediately, before the district office decides on registration. Approval becomes final on the day it is issued, and the Act expressly excludes appeal, reopening and review outside appeal proceedings. While the proceedings remain pending, it is possible to secure their suspension and a notice in the register. After approval, the only remaining route is a court claim and litigation that can last years.

We are being sued for a contractual penalty for each day of delay. Can the court reduce it?
It can, but not automatically. In commercial relationships, Section 301 of the Commercial Code allows a court to reduce an excessively high contractual penalty, but this is an exceptional intervention in freedom of contract. Where a daily rate is agreed, a high accumulated total does not itself mean the penalty is excessive: the rate and circumstances when the obligation was breached are decisive. The defence therefore rests on specific assertions and evidence, rather than an impression of the final amount.

The customer is using the works but has not signed the handover record and refuses to pay. What can we do?
The precise wording of the agreement is decisive. If signing a handover record is agreed as a condition of handing over the works, courts have long held that without it the works have not been handed over and no entitlement to the price has arisen, even if the customer uses them. In 2025, Czech case law began denying protection to parties invoking the agreed form dishonestly; Slovak courts have not yet adopted that shift. New agreements should therefore include deemed handover.
