A dispute or debt is never the goal. We first look for an out-of-court settlement — faster, cheaper, with less operational impact. If a settlement isn't possible, we guide the client through the full litigation or arbitration. Commercial disputes are handled by Marek Poloni, corporate debt collection by David Němeček.
We don't push anyone into a dispute. We always give the client a truthful assessment of the odds — probability of success in court, estimated duration, costs, impact on business relationships, tax impact. If a settlement is the smarter path, we say so directly. 60% of our dispute engagements end in an out-of-court settlement.
We've split the practice by specialty. Commercial and civil disputes are led by Marek Poloni — 12+ years of transactional law that trained him to quickly orient in a complex contract, find the decisive clause, and build a winning argument. Debt collection pro firmy vede David Němeček — systematic proces od reminders, pre-litigation demand letters, lawsuit a payment rozkaz až po exekuci.
For arbitration, we work with both the Arbitration Court attached to the Economic Chamber and the Agricultural Chamber of the Czech Republic, as well as ad-hoc arbitral tribunals (including international ones under UNCITRAL rules). We actively monitor the suitability of an arbitration clause at the contract drafting stage — it tells us a lot about the speed and cost of any future dispute.
For debt collection we offer a success-based fee on portfolios — a minimum fixed component to cover procedural costs plus a percentage of the amount successfully recovered. We typically achieve a ~ 82% collection rate on portfolios of B2B receivables within 5 years past due.
