Holubová advokáti helps organise 52nd annual AIJA Congress in Prague
AIJA is the International Association of Young Lawyers and is the only international organisation in the world that brings together attorneys and lawyers younger than 45. AIJA aims to help young attorneys and lawyers on the international stage, allowing them to approach issues in a broad international context, get to know colleagues from around the world and swap experiences.
Around 600 attorneys and lawyers from over 85 countries will attend the Congress in Prague from 26 – 30 August 2014. It will be the second largest international law congress in the Czech Republic.
The programme will include many seminars, workshops and meetings focused on topics that are mainstays of AIJA's work, for example real estate, labour law, sports law, distribution law and transportation, international arbitration, insolvency law, mergers and acquisitions, tax law, immigration and much more.
Holubová advokáti recommends attending the AIJA Congress for all attorneys who have an interest in acquiring new professional experiences and making contacts. Those who are interested in the "Home Hospitality Dinner" can get actively involved in the affairs of AIJA right away.

'No one has done as much for me as you,' Eva said.
Stewarts
"A visit to her daughter in London turned Eva's life upside down when she says she stepped into a crossing on a green light but was hit by a car. Despite her remarkable bravery, she faced a long treatment due to fractures in her pelvis, and the associated limitations and pain are likely to persist for the rest of her life. Regular headaches and impaired concentration compound her challenges.
Eva contacted us through an organization temporarily helping her manage her difficult living situation. At that time, she was destitute, relying only on subsistence payments. We were able to assist her because we specialize in personal injury and have contacts with proven colleagues abroad.
We worked with Stewarts, a UK law firm, on this case. Attorneys Klára Dvořáková and Rebecca Huxford helped Eva with the documentation in her case, explaining her options and the differences between the Czech and British systems of healthcare and social benefits reimbursement. Within a few months, thanks to the professional cooperation between the two offices, an offer of compensation from the insurance company of approximately CZK seven million was achieved. The client accepted this settlement because she did not want to deal with courts in the United Kingdom.
Subsequently, we assisted the client with related tax issues and contacted Auditone, a tax consultancy firm, which arranged for the filing of a tax return. Compensation for lost income is taxable, unlike most personal injury compensation.
'No one has done as much for me as you,' Eva said.
The fact that we were able to help Eva gives our work meaning and brings us great joy. We are very happy that, thanks to our many years of active involvement in the international professional organization PEOPIL, we can cooperate on such cases."
