THE ISSUES 2013 - Upcoming legal topics in the Czech Republic

Czech Republic

CMS in Prague is pleased to present its annual publication THE ISSUES 2013.

In facing the existing market challenges, we believe that it is important to stay up to date with the latest legal developments affecting your day-to-day business and future investments. To help you prepare for what the year will bring, our team has put together an overview of the most important legal developments and hot topics for 2013.

2013 will be a landmark year for companies getting ready for the new Civil Code - the long-prepared re-codification of the Civil Code will bring a number of fundamental changes that will affect your every day business activities as well as your contractual relationships with customers, suppliers and business partners.

From a real estate point of view, the new Civil Code will introduce a number of new legal institutions, some of which are currently missing for those of you familiar with other Western European and CEE jurisdictions.

There are also other legal and sector developments, which require your attention – including the Act on Corporations, which will introduce substantial changes for companies, intended to bring greater efficiency to doing business in the Czech Republic.

Finally, there is a lot happening across the sectors and our sector specialists have looked at the hot topics offering a practical view on what to be aware of when driving your business forward in 2013.
