Terms of Service

1. Introduction and Acceptance

Welcome to Antonie & Partners, a professional law firm operating in Slovakia. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of our website and legal services. By accessing our website or engaging our services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms.

Our firm specializes in providing comprehensive legal consultation and services, with extensive experience in handling administrative and other legal cases. We are committed to protecting our clients' interests and ensuring the highest standards of professional service.

If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, please do not use our website or services. We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time, and such modifications will be effective immediately upon posting on our website.

2. Legal Services and Client Relationship

Antonie & Partners provides professional legal services including but not limited to legal consultation, representation in administrative proceedings, contract review, and general legal advisory services. Our experienced team of attorneys is dedicated to providing personalized solutions for each client's unique legal needs.

The attorney-client relationship is established only upon the execution of a formal engagement agreement. Initial consultations or communications through our website do not automatically create an attorney-client relationship. All legal advice and services are provided in accordance with Slovak law and professional standards.

We handle cases involving various legal matters, including situations where clients may need assistance with recovery of funds, addressing deceptive practices, or dealing with complex legal disputes. Our expertise extends to helping clients who have been misled or require assistance in recovering their rightful assets.

Confidentiality is paramount in our practice. All client information and communications are protected under attorney-client privilege and professional confidentiality rules as prescribed by Slovak law and legal ethics.

3. Fees and Payment Terms

Our fee structure is transparent and competitive, reflecting the complexity and scope of legal services required. Fees may be charged on an hourly basis, fixed fee arrangement, or contingency basis, depending on the nature of the case and client agreement.

For cases involving recovery of assets or funds, we may offer flexible payment arrangements that align with successful outcomes. Initial consultation fees, if applicable, will be clearly communicated before scheduling any meeting.

All fees and expenses must be paid according to the terms specified in the engagement agreement. We accept various payment methods including bank transfers, and all payments should be made in accordance with Slovak banking regulations.

In cases where we successfully assist clients in recovering funds or resolving disputes involving deceptive practices, our fee structure will be clearly outlined in the engagement agreement, ensuring transparency throughout the legal process.

4. Limitations of Liability and Disclaimers

While we strive to provide the highest quality legal services, we cannot guarantee specific outcomes in legal matters. The practice of law involves inherent uncertainties, and results depend on various factors including facts, applicable law, and judicial decisions.

Our liability is limited to the extent permitted by Slovak law and professional regulations. We maintain professional liability coverage as required by law and professional standards.

Information provided on our website is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. Each legal situation is unique and requires individual analysis. We recommend consulting with our attorneys for specific legal advice tailored to your circumstances.

We are not responsible for any indirect, consequential, or punitive damages arising from the use of our services or website, except as may be required by applicable law.

5. Client Responsibilities and Cooperation

Clients are expected to provide complete, accurate, and timely information relevant to their legal matters. Withholding or misrepresenting facts may adversely affect the outcome of legal proceedings and our ability to provide effective representation.

Clients must cooperate fully with our legal team, respond promptly to requests for information or documentation, and attend scheduled meetings and proceedings as required.

For cases involving recovery of funds or addressing deceptive practices, clients must provide all relevant documentation, correspondence, and evidence that may support their case. This includes any records related to transactions, communications with other parties, and any evidence of misleading conduct.

Clients are responsible for making timely payments according to the agreed fee structure and maintaining open communication throughout the duration of legal representation.

6. Termination of Services

Either party may terminate the attorney-client relationship in accordance with the terms specified in the engagement agreement and applicable professional rules. Termination must be handled in a manner that protects the client's interests and complies with professional obligations.

Upon termination, we will provide the client with their file and any documents belonging to them, subject to payment of outstanding fees and costs. We may retain copies of documents as required by professional regulations and for our records.

In cases involving ongoing legal proceedings, termination procedures must ensure continuity of representation or proper withdrawal in accordance with court rules and professional standards.

Any confidential information obtained during the course of representation remains protected even after termination of the attorney-client relationship.

7. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms of Service are governed by the laws of the Slovak Republic. Any disputes arising from or relating to these Terms or our legal services shall be resolved in accordance with Slovak law and jurisdiction.

We encourage clients to communicate any concerns or disputes directly with our firm to seek amicable resolution. If necessary, disputes may be subject to mediation or arbitration as provided by Slovak law.

Our practice is subject to regulation by the Slovak Bar Association, and clients have the right to file complaints with the appropriate regulatory authorities if they believe professional standards have not been met.

Any legal proceedings related to our services or these Terms shall be conducted in the appropriate courts of the Slovak Republic, and all parties consent to the jurisdiction of such courts.
