Mgr. Petr Horáček, LL.M., independent attorney registered with the Czech Bar Association (Česká advokátní komora) under registration number 15933, IČ 87028115, with registered office at Na Zbořenci 276/14, 120 00 Prague 2, Czech Republic.
The provision of legal services, including fees, is governed by Act No. 85/1996 Coll. (the Legal Profession Act) and the Lawyer's Tariff (Ministerial Regulation No. 177/1996 Coll.), both as amended. A contractual fee may be agreed between the attorney and the client; in the absence of such agreement, the non-contractual fee provisions of the Tariff apply.
Fees. Services are billed on an hourly basis. The hourly rate ranges from EUR 150 to EUR 300 (excluding VAT), depending on the complexity of the matter, and is agreed in writing before engagement. The total fee is invoiced monthly or upon conclusion of the matter, as agreed.
Termination. The attorney is entitled to terminate the engagement if the necessary trust between the parties is materially compromised, if the client fails to provide required cooperation, if the client insists on instructions that conflict with legal or professional rules, or if the client fails to pay a requested advance fee. The client may terminate the engagement at any time and without stating reasons; termination takes effect upon receipt of written notice by the attorney.
Consumer dispute resolution. Pursuant to Act No. 634/1992 Coll. (Consumer Protection Act), the Czech Bar Association was designated on 5 February 2016 by the Ministry of Industry and Trade as the entity responsible for out-of-court resolution of consumer disputes arising from legal services agreements.

Upon request, the attorney will issue written confirmation of services rendered, including the date of provision. In the event of a complaint, the attorney will issue written confirmation of the date the complaint was raised, its content, and the resolution requested. Communication with clients in connection with an existing agreement may take place via public electronic communications networks; premium-rate telephone numbers will not be used for this purpose.
This document governs how Mgr. Petr Horáček, LL.M., attorney (ČAK 15933, IČ 87028115), with registered office at Na Zbořenci 276/14, 120 00 Prague 2 (the "attorney"), processes personal data.
The attorney processes personal data as controller, in accordance with Act No. 85/1996 Coll. and Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR). The legal basis for processing is the legal services agreement. The client is not obliged to provide personal data, but without it a legal services agreement cannot be concluded.
No Data Protection Officer has been appointed, as the attorney's activities do not involve large-scale systematic monitoring of individuals or large-scale processing of special categories of data. Personal data is processed using the attorney's own means with appropriate mechanical, electronic, and organisational security measures. No automated individual decision-making takes place.
Where necessary, data may be disclosed to public authorities (courts, administrative bodies), IT maintenance providers, and other recipients as directed by the client. Personal data will not be transferred outside the EU. Retention periods are determined by applicable law, in particular Act No. 85/1996 Coll. and Act No. 499/2004 Coll.
Client rights include: access to personal data; rectification of inaccurate data; erasure (subject to applicable conditions); restriction of processing; data portability; and the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests. The right to withdraw consent does not apply, as processing is based on contract performance rather than consent.
Complaints may be directed to the attorney directly or to the Office for Personal Data Protection (uoou.cz). Responses will be provided within one month of receipt of a request. Where a request is submitted electronically, the identity of the requester will be verified before personal data is disclosed.
All requests must be handled in compliance with the Legal Profession Act. Given the breadth of legal professional privilege, the attorney may in many cases be unable to comply with data subject requests, either in full or in part, without compromising the duty of confidentiality under § 21 of Act No. 85/1996 Coll.
