I lead clients through business contract law, M&A transactions, and litigation and arbitration. My other focus is AI and digital law, where I'm interested in how new regulation (AI Act, GDPR) affects real business models.
Marek Poloni is a partner at Němeček & Poloni law firm. For over 12 years he has led transactional engagements, reviewed complex business contracts, and represented clients in litigation or advised on financial regulation.
In recent years he has focused on financial regulation and digital law — an area where new European legislation (AI Act, GDPR, DSA, DORA) meets rapid technological development. For Czech companies and fintechs, this intersection represents not only a regulatory challenge but, more importantly, a new business opportunity. Marek helps them set up processes so that regulation becomes a competitive advantage.
He gained his experience at leading international law firms, where he worked on acquisitions, investment mandates for VC/PE investors, and international commercial disputes. He believes in the approach where a partner leads the matter personally — not as a symbol, but as the most effective path to a result.
Together with David, he is among the attorneys shaping the new face of the Czech legal market — through smart use of technology, an emphasis on online collaboration, and transparent pricing (75% of engagements on fixed fees).
