Software law Intellectual Property law
I am an attorney and partner at SEDLAKOVA LEGAL, where I lead the department of contract law, IT, and IP.
I help companies structure their commercial contracts in B2B relationships – from supplier and investment agreements to partnership and distribution models (resale, affiliate, franchising).
At the same time, I specialize in IT law and licensing agreements – especially SaaS contracts, SLAs, software development, implementation, and support, as well as the legal framework of artificial intelligence (AI Act), cybersecurity, and regulation of digital platforms (DSA, P2B, DAC7, DORA).
In the field of intellectual property (IP law), I support clients with know-how protection, licensing, and dispute resolution in IT and digital services.
My clients value that I understand the technical environment of IT and digital services. I know how pricing and payment models in IT and consulting agencies work, how to set liability caps, or how Service Level Agreements (SLAs) operate. Thanks to this, I can combine legal precision with business and technological reality.
Specific areas of my expertise include:
-
Commercial contracts in B2B – dodavatelské smlouvy, investice, distribuce, affiliate, franchising
-
Software & IT contracts – SaaS, licence, vývoj, implementace, servis, SLA, open-source compliance
-
IP law – licence, autorská práva, ochranné známky, patenty, designy, ochrana know-how
-
Competition law – nekalá soutěž, kartelové dohody, ochrana trhu, spory v IT a digitálních službách
-
Digital regulation– Digital Services Act (DSA), Platform-to-Business (P2B), DAC7, DORA, AI Act
-
