Marta Fišnerová, partner, JŠK
Marta has spent almost her entire career at JŠK. After graduating from Masaryk University in Brno and working for two years in the Kooperativa insurance company, she started her traineeship in the then small law firm Johnson & Kramařík, where she was eventually promoted all the way to partner. Meanwhile her specialisation continued to develop. From general commercial law practice, she has always returned to contracts for work and the solution of practical issues arising from them. This resulted in a focus on litigation, but not only disputes or arbitration, but especially on finding ways to prevent them, to negotiate amicable solutions and prepare arguments that help the client achieve the best possible outcome.
Marta’s specialisations and passions are mainly disputes over contracts for work, defective performance and damages in all areas of industry, from construction, automotive and other manufacturing, IT, metallurgy and energy to healthcare and the pharmaceutical industry. In her practice, she often deals with issues related to leases and their termination or compensation for damages arising from transport or forwarding contracts. She also has extensive experience in insurance, where she focuses especially on the settlement of liability claims or liability of managers, statutory bodies and senior employees, or interpretation of the scope of insurance, etc.
