The «Zahist» Bar Association company provides legal assistance to Ukrainians in the Czech Republic in Ukrainian and Russian: obtaining and extending a temporary residence permit (VNP), labor disputes, family disputes, housing and administrative matters. The lawyer reviews documents already at the first consultation and supports the client at every stage — in person at the office or online.

It is worth reaching out in specific situations: obtaining or extending a residence permit and migration status; unpaid wages or unlawful dismissal; rental, eviction, or utility disputes; obtaining social benefits and allowances for displaced persons; divorce, child custody, and family reunification. Consultation is especially important in the first months after relocation — the lawyer analyzes the client's documents and proposes a concrete action plan, which helps avoid common mistakes when submitting documents.

Legal assistance to Ukrainians in Czechia — in what situations it is needed

The need for a consultation arises for migrants and permanent residents in the country in various cases: migration status, labor rights, housing issues, social benefits, family matters. Below are listed situations when it is advisable to seek a consultation with a lawyer:

  • labor disputes — unpaid wages, unlawful dismissal;

Each consultation begins with an analysis of the client's documents, and the lawyer proposes a specific action plan. Legal assistance in Czechia is tailored individually, taking into account the status and circumstances of the case.

The lawyer assesses documents during the first consultation and provides a solution for the specific situation. This consultation is especially important in the first months after the move. Each lawyer takes on communication with local authorities. The full list of services depends on the complexity of the situation, and the consultation helps to avoid typical mistakes when submitting documents.
