Klára Dvořáková

Klára is a Co-Managing Partner and a leading expert in travel law and personal injury.

Klára's clients are mainly travel agencies, tour operators, hotels, and entrepreneurs involved in tourism, whom she advises on how to start a business or implement new projects. With her team, she helps clients solve their day-to-day issues. She has long-term cooperation with the Association of Travel Agencies, the Union of Mountain Professions, the Czech Mountain Leader Association, the Union of International Mountain Leader Associations, and the Czech Association of Mountain Guides. Klára serves as the President of the Legal Affairs Commission of the International Climbing and Mountaineering Federation  (UIAA). She frequently lectures on tourism and compensation topics in the Czech Republic and internationally.

Klára is the co-author of the first Czech comprehensive legal book, Travel Law (C.H. Beck), and the author of the commentary to the travel contract in the first one-volume Civil Code, Commentary (C.H. Beck). She lectures on travel law at the Law Faculty of Charles University in Prague. She regularly publishes articles and advises on legal issues related to liability, travel, and tourism regulation. In 2020, she contributed to the EU Collective Commentary about the New Package Travel Directive. Klára is also a co-author of the commentary on the Lex Voucher law. She is active within IFTTA (International Forum of Tourism and Travel Advocates), where she initiated the establishment of a working group on the Package Travel Directive. This group provided the European Parliament with an opinion on the proposed revision of Directive (EU) 2015/2302 and has long pursued the objective of advocating for a reform of the entire legal framework. For her contribution to the organisation and to travel law, Klára received the Gerald Heifetz Award from IFTTA in 2024.

Klára attracted the attention of the Czech media after she successfully represented bankrupt travel agency clients in a dispute over the payment of insurance claims. The jurisprudence of the Constitutional and Supreme Courts, which Klára contributed to, even led to a change in legislation.

Klára has many years of experience in compensation cases, especially those with international elements. She deals with damages caused by medical malpractice, accidents during travel, sports, and mountaineering. She frequently prepares reports for foreign courts, law firms, and insurance companies (Quantum Report, Liability Report, and Local Standards Report).

For many years, she has been a lecturer in medical law within the MBA Management and Healthcare Management programme for the Business Institute in Prague and the Cambridge Business School in Prague. Klára is the co-author of the commentary on the law on compensation for harm caused by compulsory vaccination. 

Klára gladly draws on her experience in insurance law and healthcare law when representing seriously ill patients who are being denied so-called exceptional reimbursement, usually for innovative medical care.

Klára is a Czech legal specialist; however, she is also familiar with European law. She has also represented clients before the European Court of Justice and the European Commission.

Klára was listed among the TOP 100 women in the Czech legal business for 2025 (Týdeník Euro).
