What have we achieved in 2024? We've handled many interesting and routine client cases, successfully taking on and concluding them. We've thrived, living up to our motto of being the office others emulate. In addition, we organised two internationally acclaimed conferences, conducted training sessions, gave lectures, sent newsletters, appeared in the media, and kept our online presence active. We've also embraced further technological advancements, which for our office, often cited as a model, is practically a duty! This is how we planned our 2024, and it paid off — except for the traditionally intense work periods of June and December, we even managed not to overheat completely.
Brief Recap:
- For our personal injury clients, we secured compensation in the tens of millions of crowns. More importantly, most of our cases involved international elements — exactly where we want to be!
- For the first time in the Czech Republic, we successfully obtained extraordinary reimbursement of TTF funds for treating aggressive brain cancer (glioblastoma).
- We advised travel agencies and bureaus in nearly 250 matters, from comprehensive consulting on the establishment, and contract preparation to handling complaints and urgent inquiries. With 252 working days in 2024, it's fair to say we dealt with travel law every single day!
- We now serve as data protection officers for 35 schools, increasingly sought after for practical solutions. Consequently, alongside Bakaláři, we've prepared webinars for school management throughout 2025. More information here.
- We achieved a conviction in the case of two deceased climbers, representing the families of the victims. The second defendant has appealed. Always choose professional guides for paid tours — more details here.
- We successfully petitioned the Supreme Court to overturn a general measure that restricted pedestrian crossings between a station and a town over a busy road, as part of our ongoing advocacy for better conditions for pedestrians and cyclists.
- Our partner Štěpán Holub received recognition in the Private Client category from Lexology (formerly Who's Who Legal) and discussed his work in private client services in Wealth magazine.
- Our partner Klára Dvořáková received the Gerald Heifetz Award for her contributions to tourism and was listed among the TOP 100 women in Czech legal business for 2025 (Týdeník Euro).
- We co-organized the PEOPIL International Annual Conference in Prague on compensation claims, attended by 150 lawyers worldwide. More here.
- Together, we organized the STEP International Conference on trusts, foundations, and estate management, featuring experts from 11 countries and the ceremonial opening of the STEP branch for the Czech Republic and Slovakia. More information here.
- We collaborated on the creation of Crisis Management Handbooks for tourism and Unfair Business Practices in tourism with several government bodies and the Association of Czech Travel Agencies. We also updated the model terms and conditions for ACK members.
- For the fifth year, we've been using specialized task management software traditionally known in IT firms. Our proficiency was acknowledged by the system's developers in an interview.
- In 2024, we had the honour of hosting international interns from Sweden, Portugal, Germany, and Spain at our office.
The achievements we're most proud of are typically covered by attorney-client privilege or other agreed-upon confidentiality.
This holds for 2024, and we have big plans for 2025, which we'll share publicly in due course.

"We express our recommendations for the law firm Holubova Advokati.
Holubova Advokati was able to resolve a project for us with confidence, composure, and perseverance that German experts had deemed hopeless.
About 80 years ago, my grandparents and my father had to leave their home. The property has now been returned to our family through the inheritance that was initiated, and thanks to the excellent work of the law firm.
During the two-and-a-half-year negotiations, there were no language problems; everyone was always well informed about the current status.
Keep up the good work, everyone."

"What I appreciate most about working with Holubová Advokáti is their high level of expertise, clear guidance throughout the entire process, and their human approach. My case was complex and emotionally demanding, but Mrs. Dvořáková and Mr. Formánek treated me with the utmost care and sensitivity. Thanks to their precise work, we achieved a successful outcome, and I can therefore recommend this firm with complete confidence to anyone seeking legal representation of the highest standard."
