Other legal services in practice

Some legal tasks do not belong to any one area of law, yet you cannot do without them. A filing with the Slovak Commercial Register has to be made electronically, a contract for the sale of land needs authenticating, a Slovak document must be used abroad, or a club needs setting up. These are shorter jobs where the right procedure and the prescribed form make the difference.

We help set up and use a qualified electronic signature, authorise contracts for the transfer of property, arrange apostilles or full legalisation of documents and prepare the statutes and registration of civic associations, non-profit organisations and foundations. The firm also acts as an authorised person for the Slovak Register of Public Sector Partners, which has its own page.

What we help with

  • Choosing, setting up and renewing a qualified electronic signature
  • Authorising contracts for the transfer of property
  • Apostilles and legalisation of documents for use abroad
  • Coordination with translators and interpreters
  • Setting up civic associations, non-profits and foundations
  • Registration in the Register of Public Sector Partners

Worth knowing

Commercial Register filings online only

Since 17 August 2026, filings with the Slovak Commercial Register are made only electronically (Section 44(1) of Act No. 29/2026). The court fee is €220 for registering a new s.r.o. and €50 for registering a change.

Contract authorisation

The lawyer verifies the parties' identity, checks that the contract complies with the law, explains its consequences and attaches an authorisation clause. For the Land Registry, an authorised contract has the same standing as one with officially certified signatures.

Apostille or legalisation

An apostille is used for countries that are parties to the Hague Convention. For other countries, documents go through full legalisation.

Common questions

  • The lawyer verifies the parties' identity, checks the contract against the law and attaches an authorisation clause. An authorised property transfer contract is accepted by the Land Registry in the same way as one with officially certified signatures.
  • Anyone who wants to deal with the state, the courts and the Commercial Register electronically. For businesses it is essential for Commercial Register filings, which since 17 August 2026 can only be made electronically.
  • Yes, the firm acts as an authorised person. The procedure, obligations and verification of data are described on a separate page.
