What barta.legal does

barta.legal s.r.o. is a Prague-based Czech law firm (advokátní kancelář) founded in 2012 that specializes in IT and business law, serving clients from startups to multinational corporations. The firm delivers nine core practice areas: software law (covering SaaS, SLA, agile/waterfall development, open-source, and licensing), GDPR/personal data protection, trademarks (including searches, EUIPO/WIPO registration, opposition, and monitoring), copyright law, business law (supplier/distribution terms, T&Cs, agency, labor), corporate law and M&A (incorporation, holding structures, ESOP, investor agreements), e-commerce and marketing (cookies, influencer contracts, telemarketing), AML/CFT compliance, and IT dispute resolution (software disputes, domain conflicts, IP infringement). A dedicated sub-brand, trademarks.barta.legal, productizes the trademark offering and oversees a portfolio of 1,100+ registrations across jurisdictions from Argentina to Japan.

The firm operates as a founder-led, privately held s.r.o. with no external investors or parent entity. The team of approximately nine professionals—anchored by founding partner JUDr. Jan Bárta and senior associate Mgr. Kamila Francová—is supported by specialized of counsel, associates, and an IP portfolio manager. There is no proprietary technology platform; operations run on industry-standard tools (Wolters Kluwer case management, Schindler Systems, Microsoft Office 365). The firm delivers services under retainer and project-based fees, with publicly disclosed unit pricing for training (GDPR from CZK 9,900, AML from CZK 14,900), trademark searches (Czech: from CZK 3,490; EU: from CZK 5,490), registrations (Czech: from CZK 12,900; EU: from CZK 33,490), opposition proceedings (from CZK 15,900), and trademark monitoring subscriptions (Basic CZK 4,200/year; Extended CZK 6,600/year).

Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven: lawyers handle matters from intake through completion, and growth is fueled by newsletter marketing, LinkedIn thought leadership, training and lectures at the Czech Bar Association and universities, and client referrals. The firm pursues no external funding, has no disclosed subsidiaries, and operates from a single Prague headquarters (Kaprova 42/14, Prague 1). Client tenure is long—e.g., SoundFlower (~10 years), Realness (since founding), Apollo Games, Wultra, and Panasonic Automotive Systems Czech—indicating durable engagement rather than transactional volume.
