Innovations that change the game: We were involved in the creation of the “BankID” project, where we assisted in preparing a feasibility study, drafting legislative proposals, and negotiating with state representatives. We provide legal support to Bankovní identita, a.s., a joint venture connecting banks with those interested in their electronic identification services.
DORA, NIS2, PSD3, PSR, AML6, CBDC and others may still be unfamiliar acronyms for some. We know their content, monitor them, and prepare clients for these changes so that they are always one step ahead.
