Klara is a Co-Managing Partner and a leading expert in travel law and personal injury.

Her clients are mainly travel agencies, tour operators, hotels, and entrepreneurs involved in tourism, whom she advises on how to start a business or implement new projects. With her team, she helps clients to solve their day-to-day issues. She has long-term cooperation with the Association of Travel Agencies, the Union of Mountain Professions, the Czech Association of Mountain Guides, the Union of International Mountain Guides, and the Czech Association of Mountain Guides. Klára serves as the Chair of the Legal Committee of the International Mountaineering Federation (UIAA). She frequently lectures on tourism and compensation topics in the Czech Republic and internationally.

Klára has many years of experience in compensation cases, especially those with international elements. She deals with damages caused by medical malpractice, accidents during travel, sports, and mountaineering. She frequently prepares reports for foreign courts, law firms and insurance companies (Quantum Report, Liability Report and Local Standards Report).

Klára is the co-author of the first Czech comprehensive legal book Travel Law (C.H. Beck), and the author of the commentary to the travel contract in the first one-volume Civil Code, Commentary (C.H. Beck). She lectures on travel law at the Law Faculty of Charles University in Prague and the Silesian University in Opava. She regularly publishes articles and advises on legal issues related to liability, travel and tourism regulation. In 2020 she contributed to the EU Collective Commentary about the New Package Travel Directive. Klára is also a co-author of the commentary on the Lex Voucher law. 

Klára attracted the attention of the Czech media after she successfully represented bankrupt travel agency clients in a dispute over the payment of insurance claims. The jurisprudence of the Constitutional and Supreme Courts, which Klára contributed to, even led to a change in legislation.

For many years she has been a lecturer in medical law within the MBA Management and Healthcare Management programme for the Business Institute in Prague and Cambridge Business School in Prague. Klára is the co-author of the commentary on the law on compensation for harm caused by compulsory vaccination. 

Klára is a Czech legal specialist, however, she is also familiar with European law. She has also represented clients before the European Court of Justice and the European Commission.
