Who am I? I'm a Legal Nerd...

......who tackles the complex challenges of financial market regulation.

I hold a bachelor's degree in legal linguistics focused on EU law (English and French). I also graduated from the Faculty of Law in Olomouc, where I studied European law and European studies, and earned my LL.M. degree in commercial law. My career has included positions such as a national expert in the Council of the EU and ministerial advisor, but my primary focus has always been financial law, to which I have been fully dedicated since 2010.

From 2010 to 2022, I worked at the Czech National Bank, where, as an inspector, I examined the operations of numerous institutions of various types—from banks, insurance companies, and building societies to smaller non-bank consumer credit providers. Through my work in consumer protection, which spans all areas of financial regulation (credit, insurance, investments, etc.), and as a primarily on-site inspector, I remained closely connected to practical matters—indeed, quite the opposite of being removed from them. In recent years, my work also involved SQL, source code analysis, and the modern fintech landscape. I also specialized in AML regulation. Many of the cases I worked on with my colleagues received media attention—and there were quite a few.

In recent years, I have been applying my experience in the private sector, holding various management positions in banking and contributing to numerous significant projects in fintech, payment systems, licensing, operational risk management, compliance, and cybersecurity and cybercrime prevention.

Today, I help financial institutions and fintech companies navigate the EU regulatory environment. My specialization includes licensing procedures for various types of entities, including crypto-asset service providers (under MiCA), payment institutions, and other regulated entities; compliance and operational risk management; assessment of AML/KYC systems; creditworthiness assessment, including scoring models; and cybersecurity and cybercrime prevention in the context of financial services.

Beyond my consulting practice, I serve as a member of the examination board assessing the professional competence of prospective financial service providers and am co-author of a professional publication on European consumer law.

What My Services Are (and Are Not)

in Legal Terms

I am not registered in the register of attorneys maintained by the Czech Bar Association and I do not provide legal services within the meaning of Act No. 85/1996 Coll., on the Legal Profession.

I primarily provide consulting focused on financial services, training and educational services specialized in financial regulation and, where applicable, related services, such as translation services or the preparation of expert assessments. For completeness, I am authorized to provide services in the following fields:

Advisory and consulting activities, preparation of professional studies and expert assessments
Translation and interpreting activities
Non-formal education and training, organizing courses and training sessions, including lecturing
Services for legal entities and trusts

The services are provided on a B2B basis only, meaning they are not intended for consumers but for business clients (typically legal entities).
