35 years of the attorney at law profession.

Proud of the celebrated jubilee, we kindly inform that the beginning of the professional self-governing body of attorneys at law dates back to July 6, 1982, ie. the date of passing the Attorney at Law Act. 

Providing a professional legal assistance, attorney at law acts as a profession of public trust. The profession is governed by the Attorney at Law Act and the Code of Ethics of the Attorney at Law. On the basis of the Attorney at Law Act, the Regulation on the fees for attorneys at law was issued.

Legal assistance provided by an attorney at law includes, in particular, the provision of legal advice and legal consultancy, the preparation of opinions and legal information, the drafting of legislative acts, including contracts, and representation before the courts and local authorities as an attorney or a public defender, including representation before the Supreme Court, the Constitutional Tribunal, the Supreme Administrative Court, the Court of Justice of the European Union and the European Court of Human Rights.

The provisions of the applicable law do not provide for any restrictions on the subjects, in which the attorney at law may provide legal assistance.

The attorney at law is subject to a mandatory civil liability insurance.
