Criminal Law and Administrative Offences in the Czech Republic

We provide legal assistance to suspects, defendants, victims of crime, and other individuals involved in criminal or administrative offence proceedings. A significant part of our practice consists of representing both Czech and international clients in criminal and administrative matters involving the Czech Republic, a cross-border element, and legal issues connected with multiple jurisdictions.

We provide criminal defence at every stage of criminal proceedings, from initial questioning, detention, custody hearings, and the commencement of criminal prosecution through to trial proceedings, appeals, extraordinary remedies before the Supreme Court, and proceedings before the Constitutional Court.

We also represent victims of criminal offences. We assist in pursuing claims for compensation for damages, non-material harm, and unjust enrichment in criminal proceedings as well as in subsequent civil litigation.

We have extensive experience in cases involving international cooperation between law enforcement authorities, European Investigation Orders, European Arrest Warrants, cross-border evidence gathering, and the enforcement of decisions within the European Union.

We also provide legal assistance in administrative offence proceedings, including traffic offences, public order offences, property-related offences, and other administrative violations.

Our goal is to protect our clients’ rights from the outset of the proceedings and to find the most appropriate solution to their situation, whether through proactive defence, a carefully considered legal strategy, or the effective enforcement of victims’ claims.
