Proprietary trading & prop firms
Structuring and documentation for proprietary trading and evaluation (“prop”) models: trader agreements, terms of service, payout and risk frameworks, platform and IP terms, and the regulatory perimeter around them.
JMLegal is an independent Czech law practice for proprietary trading firms, financial-services and payment businesses, funds and asset managers, and companies operating internationally — delivered with a modern, technology-led approach.
Where most of the day-to-day work sits — at the intersection of regulated finance, technology and international structuring.
Structuring and documentation for proprietary trading and evaluation (“prop”) models: trader agreements, terms of service, payout and risk frameworks, platform and IP terms, and the regulatory perimeter around them.
Counsel for financial-services providers and fintech ventures — corporate structuring, contractual frameworks, allocation of risk, and coordination with regulatory requirements across the jurisdictions a business touches.
Legal support for payment flows and payment-service arrangements: provider and partner contracts, terms of use, AML and compliance touchpoints, and the documentation that keeps funds moving cleanly between parties.
Advice for businesses operating across borders — international contracts, group structures, transactions and share transfers, and coordination with foreign counsel, including experience with Japanese, Korean and other jurisdictions.
The focus above is built on a complete commercial practice. Engagements range from a single consultation to end-to-end handling of a matter.
Formation of a.s., s.r.o. and other forms; transformations, mergers and demergers; share transfers and option arrangements.
Regulatory-perimeter analysis, licensing and authorisation liaison, AML/KYC frameworks and ongoing compliance for financial and trading businesses.
Client, partner and introducing-broker agreements, platform and execution terms, payout mechanics and risk disclosures.
Establishment and administration of trust funds (svěřenské fondy), settlor and beneficiary arrangements, and asset-protection structures.
Legal structuring for asset and fund managers — management and depositary agreements, investor documentation, and the regulatory perimeter around portfolio management.
Drafting and review of agreements of every kind, with unfair-competition and day-to-day business advice.
Trademarks — word and figurative marks — together with related contractual and licensing work.
Contentious matters of all kinds, judicial and out-of-court enforcement of claims.
Contracts, property transfers, easements, probate, and attorney escrow of funds.
Representation of creditors, support for insolvency administrators, and targeted expert opinions.
Representation before permanent arbitral institutions and ad hoc tribunals, and in set-aside proceedings.
Defence in pre-trial and trial stages, with independent consultations and opinions.
The practice pairs legal judgment with the tooling of a modern technology team — so work is faster, more consistent, and continuous rather than point-in-time.
AI accelerates drafting, document review and due diligence — with a lawyer’s judgment and accountability on every output.
Routine workflows — document assembly, intake, filings and deadlines — are automated so attention goes to the substance.
Ongoing watch over registers, deadlines, regulatory changes and compliance obligations, not just one-off advice.
Productised, subscription-style retainers with predictable scope and pricing, delivered with the reliability of a product.
Direct access to your lawyer, supported by a trusted network of specialists — in tax, valuation and economics, trademark and IP, regulatory compliance and other key areas — brought in as each matter requires.
Advice and documents that are exact where exactness matters and hold up under scrutiny.
Time flexibility and an individual approach to each matter, not a queue.
Options and the path forward explained plainly, in the detail you actually need.
Professional secrecy over everything learned in the course of the work — without exception.
