Most Americans abroad do not need a large law firm. They need a lawyer who understands the local system, explains the risks clearly, and knows how Czech legal issues may affect their life, work, family, property, or business. I work primarily with Americans in the Czech Republic, while also helping other English-speaking expats who need practical legal support in Prague.
I am a Czech advokát – attorney-at-law – and I am also admitted to the State Bar of California. That means I can help you understand how Czech rules affect you and how they may connect with legal expectations back home. That cross-border perspective matters especially when your issue involves residence, employment, property, business, family, or tax-related legal questions.
I founded Martinik Law Firm in Prague in 2021 after working in a KPMG law firm, with a brief break for an in-house position. I am a Czech attorney-at-law (advokát) and I am also admitted to the State Bar of California, possessing legal training and experience across both legal systems.
I teach financial law at Charles University, have been advising members of the Czech Parliament, particularly on digital-economy regulation, and my law firm has represented clients before administrative bodies, courts, and in international arbitrations.
Martinik Law Firm is also a member of the American Chamber of Commerce in the Czech Republic.
For most clients, however, a simpler matter is of the essence: you need a professional who speaks your language—both literally and legally—understands the Czech system, and approaches your matter with the utmost dedication to resolving it.
