About us
We are attorneys-at-law and tax advisors with extensive international reach and many years of experience. Our Prague-based law and tax firm provides comprehensive legal and tax advisory services to businesses and private clients and specializes in matters with international and cross-border elements.
At Hartmanová & Steininger, we believe that high-quality legal advice is based not only on a thorough understanding of the law, case law, and tax-related considerations, but also on practical experience, strategic thinking, and the ability to understand our clients’ needs.
Drawing on our experience in cross-border matters, we view each case in its broader context and develop the most appropriate solution. Every case is unique, which is why we approach each client individually.
Our objective is not only to resolve existing issues, but also to identify future risks at an early stage and develop effective solutions that deliver long-term value. Trust between attorney and client forms the foundation of our work. We place great emphasis on personal service, open communication, and long-term relationships with our clients, who know they can rely on us and turn to us whenever needed.
The law rarely offers simple answers. Successfully resolving legal matters requires a deep understanding of the broader context, extensive experience, and the ability to anticipate future developments.
That is why we provide our clients with thoughtful, practical solutions that stand the test of time.
