Help to arbitration process: Prague Rules signed
On behalf of the International Arbitration Court of the Czech Commodity Exchange, Štěpán Holub signed on December 14th The Prague Rules.
The purpose of The Prague Rules is to help arbitral tribunals to increase their effectiveness when managing proceedings by providing them with a guideline. This framework encourages a more active role for arbitral tribunals, thus helping to palliate the time and costs involved with arbitral proceedings. The Prague Rules, also called Rules on Efficient Conduct of Proceedings, are not intended to replace the arbitrations rules in place but are designed to supplement the procedure. It is up to the parties and the tribunals to choose if they want to apply it as a legally binding document or only as a guideline. As a matter of fact, this text does not innovate in terms of law but simply assembles the different techniques into one document.
Moving towards a more clear, less costly and faster arbitration process, The Prague Rules may well be the solution much sought after.

"I was extremely satisfied with the services provided by Holubová advokáti. The collaboration was always professional, systematic, and attentive to detail. At the same time, I greatly appreciated their human and personal approach.

In my view, the combination of expertise and personal care is exactly what one should expect from legal services. I can wholeheartedly recommend them."

"I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to the law firm Holubová advokáti s.r.o. for their professional yet genuinely compassionate approach in an exceptionally difficult period of my life.
The firm successfully represented me in a dispute with my health insurance company concerning reimbursement for a medication that enables me to actively fight an oncological illness and has already begun to show positive treatment results.
From the very outset, I felt a high level of expertise, thoroughness, and a genuine interest not only in the case itself but also in the person behind it. All legal steps were explained clearly and comprehensibly, and the communication was factual, calm, and supported by clear arguments. In a time of great uncertainty, this provided me with a much-needed sense of reassurance and trust.
My special and greatest thanks go to JUDr. Klára Dvořáková, whose commitment, precision, and empathy meant more to me than can be conveyed in just a few sentences. Her work was not only highly professional but also marked by human sensitivity and deep respect for the seriousness of the situation.
I can wholeheartedly recommend this law firm to anyone seeking top-tier legal assistance combined with a truly human approach."

"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."
