I have always been drawn to music and as an active musician moving among creative people, I found a passion for intellectual property that led me to my specialisation in industrial property rights enforcement. In addition to this area, I also specialise in contract law, in which I like to focus on relationships relating to the development, licensing and protection of technology and related know-how, as well as FMCG and settings of contractual relations in the food industry. Currently on my radar are licensing proceedings before the Council of Radio and Television Broadcasting. In my spare time, I enjoy music and travelling.

I still remember the day when my father brought home a telephone modem and I first heard the loud tones that this fascinating device made when connecting to the Internet. At that time I didn't know yet what all was possible thanks to this playing box, but after more and more intensive research with the care of a prudent manager, I gradually got to know all those internets that Mrs Věra Pohlová wanted to ban (Metro daily, 17 September 1999). Since I never excelled in mathematics or physics due to my legal background, law was an obvious choice for me to connect these two worlds. Currently, I specialise in information technology and intellectual property law, with a focus on the legal aspects of these areas in the context of the Internet. I like to spend my free time travelling, practising martial arts and cooking, but I also enjoy a good book or film.

I began my legal journey by studying European and international law at a university in the Netherlands, where I gradually discovered the charm of a comparative approach across all branches of law. However, I was most drawn to the fields of information technology law, personal data protection, and intellectual property, which allow me to combine the theoretical foundations of European law with its practical interaction with national legal systems. As a student, I also perceive other areas of law as opportunities for exploration and development, and the constant search for a balance between the dynamics of technological progress and the response of the legislator is a challenge for me, one that leads me to further examine the ever-changing legal reality.

Ever since I was a little girl, I dreamed of being a lawyer one day. However, in high school I discovered my passion for mathematics, so after graduation I went to the University of Economics to study Business and Law, where I could explore both fields at the same time. It was also here that I first got into intellectual property law, which I have been fully committed to since 2011. At first I focused on patents and utility models, but now I primarily specialize in trademarks and designs. I like that I can overcome all the challenges that this field of work brings.

While most children are given picture books as their first reading, I entered the world of language and stories through ancient Greek myths. And there is no story that does not have its origin in history. That's not the only reason I started building my own story, inspired by the previous two generations, on my family's tradition of studying law. However, my love for history and stories has remained, so my professional interest is mainly in copyright law, and since I like to look for parallels, I am also close to EU private international law. In my spare time I like to play basketball or board games, practice historical fencing or plan trips to explore.

I believe that everyone should do what they enjoy and love. Well, that's why I specialise in information and new technology law, intellectual property, data and information, commercial obligations, and e-commerce.
