Home/What we do

Providing legal services at the highest level means connecting law with personal and business life. It is precisely thanks to this that we are ever closer to our clients in understanding their problems in life and business.

We focus on the areas where law is the most complex and the most regulated — where general advice is not enough and judgement backed by experience makes the difference.

Sectors

A perfect knowledge of the business environment, of individual sectors of the economy, as well as of commercial customs or everyday problems means understanding law in all its depth. That is why we strive to understand many areas of economic life in context, so that our client knows every single detail of their sector — which gives them a considerable head start over their competition, and also a good night's sleep.

Modern law

Where general advice and AI are not enough.

We treat modern tools, artificial intelligence and crypto as a normal part of today's business. Yet the decision, responsibility and judgement always rest with a human — and that is exactly where our added value lies.

Modern technology. It is a topic, a business and a helper alike. And that is exactly how we see it at Steiniger. It influences clients' business models both positively and negatively, so it must be handled correctly to keep business safe and stable. And because we seek out the latest technology for our own practice, we understand it better than others.

Commerce is globalising. For most entrepreneurs and companies, business is no longer a local matter. New forms of communication and a favourable legal environment allow them to expand into new markets. For that they need a partner who knows the rules of international trade — like us at Steiniger.

Fast communication. Opportunity comes, but it also leaves quickly if you don't seize it fast enough. At Steiniger we therefore have a simple rule — to help the client and communicate with them as quickly as modern technology allows.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to what our clients ask us most often. If your question isn't among them, write to us.

How does the first consultation work and what should I bring?

You book an appointment in advance through the reservation system, where you choose the area your case concerns — and you see the price of the consultation right at booking. You don't need to bring anything; it is enough if you can name what you need to solve. We will tell you the next steps directly at the consultation; they always depend on the specific case. If you have any documents to hand (contracts, decisions of authorities, correspondence), feel free to bring them — but it is not a condition.

When do I need a lawyer during a tax audit?

Ideally right after you receive the notice of the audit. What you say and submit during the audit is very hard to change later in an appeal or in court — so it pays to set the strategy before the file is closed. We represent clients during the audit, in appeals and in judicial review.

Do I need a licence to do business with crypto-assets?

It depends on the exact activity you carry out. Under the European MiCA regulation, some crypto-asset services require authorisation (a licence), others do not. We therefore assess each model individually — usually it involves regulation, AML and tax at once, and these must be addressed together, not separately.

What should a shareholder agreement contain?

Above all the decision-making process, the transfer of ownership interests, deadlock resolution and the terms of a shareholder's exit. These points seem unnecessary as long as the shareholders agree — and become decisive the moment they stop agreeing. Setting up relationships between shareholders is one of the things we do most often.

Do you also provide services in the Czech Republic?

Yes. We have an office in Prague and for clients operating on both markets we handle Slovak and Czech matters, including cross-border transactions and international taxation.

Do you also do accounting, or only legal services?

Both — we provide accounting in cooperation with the accounting firm Wellbens. This means you get the legal, tax and accounting solution from one place and don't have to coordinate it yourself. We call this model advisory under one roof.

What languages do you communicate in?

Slovak, Czech, English and German.

Do you also represent clients in court disputes?

Yes. Besides advisory and drafting contracts, we also represent clients in disputes — in commercial, tax or criminal matters. Where possible, we try to settle the dispute by agreement before going to court.

How much does the first consultation cost?

The price of the consultation is shown when you book an appointment and is paid in advance. If you decide to work with us after the consultation, we agree the scope and fee in writing in advance — either at an hourly rate or a fixed fee for a specific deliverable.

How quickly can you start?

A consultation slot is usually available within a few business days. In the case of a tax audit, a search or the bringing of charges, call us immediately; in these situations the first hours are decisive and we will find a slot the same day.
