Martin Šolc for Lidové noviny
According to Martin, the law should not serve politics or business, nor should it bury or even threaten fair business. “The law should not cause a fair businessman to ask his lawyer with a trembling voice three times a day whether or not he can do a certain thing or whether what his lawyer says will hold true or not.”
The new Corporations Act is a “call for change”, Martin believes. “However, some of the “not possible” guys still seem to be out there, so I hear bizarre interpretations here and there which entirely ignore business as it is in reality and even how things are interpreted elsewhere outside our Czech backyard.”
“Hence what I wish for us in 2016 is fairly clear: that all interpreters of the law, rather than putting up “grammar”, “doctrine” or “consistency” shields, look at how things are in real life and simply think about why they are that way.”

Kyberbezpečnost nově: tisíce firem čekají nové povinnosti. Iniciativa je plně na podnikateli.
Od 1. listopadu 2025 čeká tisíce firem v České republice napříč různými odvětvími zásadní změna v oblasti kybernetické regulace. Nový zákon o kybernetické bezpečnosti spolu s řadou doprovodných právních předpisů totiž výrazně rozšiřuje okruh subjektů, na které bude dopadat. Cílem regulace je zvýšit odolnost technické infrastruktury vůči kybernetickým hrozbám. Místo úzkého okruhu pouze klíčových institucí se nová pravidla budou vztahovat na široké spektrum firem a organizací, které poskytují tzv. regulované služby. Jde o služby zásadní pro fungování společnosti a státu, jejichž narušení či výpadek by mohly mít negativní dopady na bezpečnost státu, ekonomickou stabilitu a každodenní chod společnosti.
