Law affects many aspects of your life, so it's important to have a basic understanding of legal terms and concepts. In this article, we aim to introduce you to some legal basics to help you better understand the legal world.
What is law?
Law is a system of rules and regulations that governs the behavior of individuals and organizations in a given society. Its purpose is to maintain order, protect the rights and obligations of people, and resolve disputes. At AK PONCZA ŠRÁMEK, we specialize in various branches of law, whether it is criminal law, civil law, labor law, or others.
Basic legal concepts
- Rights and obligations: rights provide each person with certain protections and freedoms, whereas obligations entail adhering to laws and respecting others’ rights.
- Contracts: contracts are agreements between two or more parties that create legally binding obligations. At our law firm, we specialize in legal advice regarding contracts and their management.
- Criminal law: criminal law addresses crimes and their penalties. If you are involved in a criminal case, we can offer expert legal assistance.
- Civil law: civil law concerns the rights and responsibilities of individuals and organizations in relation to one another. At AK Poncza LEGAL, we are here to help you with property rights and other legal matters.
- Labour law: labour law deals with the relationship between employees and employers. If you have questions about employment contracts or terms and conditions of employment, we will be happy to advise you.
Legal system
