JUDr. Peter Roháček, Attorney-at-Law
With more than 14 years of legal experience, I focus on specific areas of law that require deep expertise and an international perspective. My goal is to provide clients with solutions built on real-world experience from both domestic and European environments.
Expertise Proven in Practice
My experience was primarily shaped by working in the following areas:
- Customs Law: Complex legal aspects of the import, export, and transit of goods.
- Intellectual Property: Enforcement of rights to trademarks and other intangible assets by customs authorities.
- European Agenda: Representing the Slovak Republic in expert negotiations at the European Commission in Brussels and experience with proceedings before the Court of Justice of the EU.
Publication and Consulting Activities
I believe that a true expert must not only master the topic but also shape it. I am the author of the first and currently only commentary on the law regarding the enforcement of intellectual property rights by customs authorities in Slovakia. I also deepened my expertise as a consultant in Jordan, where I prepared a legal comparative analysis of customs processes, and as a quality assessor for the customs sector in the Emirate of Ajman (UAE).
Specialization in Customs Law and Intellectual Property Protection
If you are looking for solutions in the customs area or need a consultation on the protection of your intellectual property, do not hesitate to contact me.
Comprehensive Legal Support
Although my primary domain is customs law, my many years of legal practice allow me to provide high-quality advice in other key sectors:
- Civil Law
- Commercial Law
- Administrative Law and Administrative Justice
- Labor Law
- Criminal Law
I speak your business language - in English and Spanish.
International legal matters require not only legal expertise but also precise communication in your language. In recent years, my work has focused almost exclusively on providing legal services to foreign clients. Thanks to my proficiency in English and Spanish, I provide direct legal services without the need for external interpreters, including:
- Drafting contractual documentation in a foreign language
- Representation in cross-border disputes and proceedings before foreign authorities
- Communication with partners throughout the EU, as well as other regions of the world
Professional Experience Highlights
- Legal services for global technology, banking, pharmaceutical, and telecom clients.
- Consultant on customs legal frameworks in the Middle East.
- Representation before EU courts in Luxembourg.
- Author of a leading commentary on customs enforcement of intellectual property law in Slovakia.
My Approach
Client-Focused Legal Advocacy - Every case receives individualized attention. I strive for practical, commercially relevant solutions rather than generic legal opinions. You can trust that your priorities and interests always come first.
Quality at the Legislative Level
I transfer my experience from Brussels in creating legislative texts to domestic practice through legal argumentation in submissions for clients.
Integrity & Professional Honor
I adhere strictly to ethical standards, provide realistic assessments of risks and success prospects, and ensure transparent communication about fees and timelines.
Global Perspective & Cultural Understanding
My experience with international clients — including from Middle East — allows me to bridge legal and cultural differences. I aim not only to translate language but to interpret legal concepts across cultures to avoid misunderstandings.
The Joy of Overcoming Barriers
My personal motivation is to dismantle the myths that the Slovak legal environment is confusing for foreign investors. I am fulfilled by opening doors for clients from Spain, Latin America, the United States, and other regions, acting as their reliable guide to our legal environment and protector in the Central European area.
Professional Focus
Customs Law and Intellectual Property
There are only a limited number of specialists operating in the field of customs law on the Slovak market, as this agenda requires in-depth knowledge of individual customs law institutes and specific EU regulations, which are often technical in nature. With more than seven years of experience in creating European and national customs legislation, I provide clients with highly professional legal services aimed at the stability of their international trade operations.
Administrative Law and Administrative Justice
The relationship between the State and a citizen or business entity is governed by strict legal frameworks that public authorities must adhere to without exception. Administrative law is a complex field where even a minor procedural error by a public entity can profoundly impact the rights and property of the parties involved. As an attorney, my role is to ensure this relationship remains balanced and that the state's decision-making processes are subject to rigorous oversight.
Civil Law
In my legal practice, I provide clients with comprehensive legal assistance across a wide spectrum of civil law matters, emphasizing precision, the protection of individual rights, and the stability of property interests. Civil law forms the fundamental framework of everyday life; therefore, my priority is to provide support not only in standard legal transactions but also in complex litigation and the protection of personal rights.
Family Law
Family law matters require a delicate balance of sensitivity and high-level professionalism. My goal is to guide you through every stage of the legal process, ensuring your rights are steadfastly protected and the outcomes are both equitable and sustainable for the long term. Whether navigating complex property divisions or sensitive child custody arrangements, I provide each client with personalized representation tailored to their unique circumstances.
Employment Law
In the field of employment law, I provide comprehensive legal services designed to protect the interests of both employers and employees. My practice emphasizes dispute prevention and strict adherence to statutory legal standards. High-quality labor relations are the foundation of stability for any business entity and a guarantee for the protection of individual rights.
Corporate Law
In a dynamic market environment, a robust legal foundation is a prerequisite for a successful enterprise. However, corporate legal matters are built on more than just contracts and statutes; they rely on relationships rooted in trust, clear rules, and predictability. My goal is to provide clients with comprehensive legal services that allow them to focus on scaling their business while I manage the administrative complexities of corporate governance and compliance.
Criminal Law
Criminal proceedings represent one of the most significant disruptions in a person’s life or a business entity’s operations. In this field, success requires more than just knowledge of procedural rules; it demands the ability to react promptly, think strategically, and consistently uphold fundamental rights and freedoms. I represent my clients from the very onset of a criminal prosecution, placing particular emphasis on being present during urgent or non-repeatable actions that may be decisive for the outcome of the case. As a defense attorney, I ensure that the right to a defense is not merely a formal declaration, but an effective tool for protection.
