What Cisek, advokátní kancelář does

Cisek, advokátní kancelář s.r.o. is a Czech law firm headquartered in Brno, operating from a single office and serving both domestic and international clients. The firm specializes in technology-adjacent legal practice — IT and software law, intellectual property (including trademarks and copyright), cybersecurity and NIS2 compliance, personal data protection/GDPR, and e-commerce regulation. Its client base spans software developers and cloud service providers, e-shop operators, and entrepreneurs/SMEs through to larger corporates (e.g., 2N TELEKOMUNIKACE, ACO Industries, LD Seating, Shopsys, system IN), with engagements ranging from discrete project mandates (RFPs, NIS2 readiness, trademark prosecution in the US/EU) to ongoing advisory retainers.

The firm delivers services through six core practice areas (Software Developers & Digital Service Providers, E-shops & E-commerce, Everyday Legal Support, Intellectual Property Protection, Cybersecurity, and Personal Data Protection), supported by a four-tier monthly subscription package — Entry, Core, Strategy, and Vision — with publicly disclosed EUR/CZK pricing (€620–€3,470/month), bundled hours, IP audits, trademark watching, training, and response-time SLAs. Additional hours are billed at €112–140 depending on tier. Distribution is exclusively direct: a free first consultation serves as the primary lead capture, with no reseller or partner channels. Marketing is content-led (blog, free e-books on the Data Act, DSA, and e-shop compliance, plus LinkedIn/Facebook/Instagram presence), and the firm uses Microsoft Teams (in the Vision tier) and unspecified modern legal tech tools to deliver services. The team is compact (~8–10 professionals including the founding partner, qualified lawyers, an office manager, and a senior legal assistant), and the founder Jiří Císek holds individual recognitions from IP STARS and WTR1000, with the firm ranked by epravo.cz in IT Law, IP Law, and Telecommunications.
