EPRAVO.CZ has published an article by our colleagues David Urbanec and Diana Patočková on contractual modification of the burden of proof in light of the Czech Supreme Court’s judgment of 27 July 2026, Case No. 21 Cdo 94/2026.

The authors examine the circumstances in which contractual presumptions or fictions may affect which party must prove the relevant facts in a potential dispute. They also explain the development of case law and the limits of such provisions, particularly with regard to the protection of the weaker party.

The judgment highlights that a provision governing the consequences of a contracting party’s actions or inaction may significantly affect that party’s position in court proceedings.

Ten years is a wonderful reason to celebrate.

We therefore surprised our colleague Petra Klieštíková with an after-work gathering at Terasa 67, where we celebrated her tenth anniversary with DUNOVSKÁ & PARTNERS.

Petra had no idea that the celebration was being planned, so we were all the more delighted that the surprise was a success. We spent a wonderful evening together in a relaxed atmosphere and thoroughly enjoyed the occasion.

We would like to thank Petra for ten years of working together, her dedication each and every day, and the important role she plays in our firm. We wish her every professional and personal success in the years ahead.

We are pleased to announce that Mgr. Natalie Brunnerová has joined our team as a junior associate.

Natalie has been working at DUNOVSKÁ & PARTNERS since spring 2026. In her practice, she focuses primarily on corporate law, contract law, litigation and arbitration. She is also further developing her expertise in mergers and acquisitions and other legal areas.

We are delighted that our team is growing with another talented lawyer and wish Natalie every success in her work.

Legalweb has published an interview with David Urbanec, founding partner of the law firm DUNOVSKÁ & PARTNERS.

In the interview, he reviews the first half of the year, during which we focused in particular on mergers and acquisitions, acquisition financing, corporate projects, restructurings, disputes and regulatory advice for insurance companies.

One of the main topics is also the expansion of our presence in Slovakia and the growing number of matters with a Czech-Slovak and, more generally, cross-border dimension. By establishing a branch office in Bratislava, we are responding to the needs of our clients, to whom we aim to provide coordinated legal support in both the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

David Urbanec also discusses our plans for the second half of the year, the further development of cross-border legal advisory services and the firm’s approach to the effective use of artificial intelligence.

Legalweb has published an article featuring our partner Aleš Hradil, focusing on the current debate around judicial holidays, the digitalisation of the justice system, and changes to the court system.

In the article, Aleš Hradil points out that the introduction of judicial holidays should not currently be the main priority of the Czech justice system. He considers the completion of genuine digitalization of the judiciary to be more important, particularly the introduction of a fully electronic court file, which could eliminate part of the costs, delays, and practical complications associated with conducting court proceedings.

In the interview, he also comments on possible models of judicial holidays, the risk of prolonging proceedings, access to justice, and the debate on changes to the court map. He emphasizes that the primary objective of any potential changes should be the quality and speed of decision-making, rather than merely reducing the number of courts or cutting costs.
