Twentieth Anniversary of Our Office
Our law firm – first located in the suburbs of Prague – was founded in 1991 by JUDr. Bohumila Holubová and her colleague, presently a judge. The office first specialized in commercial law and real estate. It was a pioneer in the provision of services in languages other than Czech: services were also rendered in English, German and Spanish, with Swedish being added later to the language portfolio. The scope of services has also expanded: besides real estate, our office now specializes in medical and pharmaceutical law, intellectual property law, tourism law, property development and labour law.
In the last twenty years, not only has the firm moved to premises in the centre of Prague, but its ranks have expanded to now include six lawyers.
Our team combines the long-time professional experience of our founder with the energetic and innovative approach of younger colleagues. We use modern technologies – electronic payment orders, signature authentication, authorized conversion, electronic access to the Cadastral Register and to the register of distressed property – thus saving our clients money and time.
We have also continued to develop our international activities. Through the network of our partner law firms, we provide services to our clients not only in the EU, but also around the world.
Our office has always emphasized a professional, serious and personal approach. We would like to thank our clients from the Czech Republic and various parts of the world for having confidence in us.

"Following a devastating hotel fire in Prague, the law firm Holubová advokáti, led by attorney Klara Dvorakova, successfully represented our extended family as a group of victims. The firm navigated complex international insurance and compensation laws to defend our rights.
I would like to acknowledge the extraordinary efforts the firm had to make to bring our case to a successful compensation under extremely difficult circumstances."

"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."
