Unrestricted transfer and transition of cooperative shares, due managerial care etc.
Along with changes to company law, on 1 January 2014, through recodification of private law, changes took place in the area of housing cooperatives, which is now governed comprehensively by the Business Corporations Act, including rent adjustment of cooperative flats.
The express absence of restriction in the transfer of cooperative shares and all rights and obligations related to such shares is the most positive change that will be appreciated by most housing cooperative members. In practice, this means that if you wish to buy a cooperative flat and live in it, you need not worry that the cooperative will not conclude a lease agreement with you for any reason after the transfer of the cooperative share, as the law expressly states that the transfer of the lease of the cooperative flat occurs by the transfer of the cooperative share. Similarly, in the event of the death of a cooperative member, the law prohibits any restriction in the transfer of the cooperative to heirs.
Another change that one needs to be aware of when performing the office of member of a cooperative body is the obligation of body members to act with due managerial care, including penalties stipulated under the law for breach of such obligation.

"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."
