Lawvia: Legal support for families, businesses & expats in Slovakia

All Lawvia members have access to a professional, Slovakia-licensed attorney who knows the law and local practice — and speaks your language.

You pay less than for one-time consultations, and avoid the risk of relying on generic internet advice that doesn't account for your specific situation.

We are by your side in any situation: from contracts and landlord disputes to residence permit renewals, business registration and closure of živnosť or s.r.o., employee onboarding, tax authority disputes, and contract management — for entrepreneurs and businesses alike.

Real situations where Guardian Shield helped

When the police do not respond, the case drags on, or there is a risk to a residence permit, legal representation helps restore control over the situation.

Long wait for a residence permit decision

Clients spent several months trying to get a clear answer from the police about the status of their cases. Their own requests brought no result.

After the power of attorney was issued, the attorney sent official requests to the relevant police departments.

In one case, the decision and residence permit card were received just 3 days after the attorney’s request. In another case, the client received the card in about 2 weeks.

Result: the case moved forward, and the clients received clarity and a final decision.

Risk of residence permit cancellation because of a small debt

A family with children faced a critical situation: because of a technical debt with an insurance company, the police refused to renew the residence permit and cancelled the current status.

We reviewed the situation, prepared the legal position, and involved an attorney through a power of attorney.

As a result, the case was moved into a manageable process: the old procedure was closed, and the residence permit renewal review was started again.

Result: the risk of losing status was removed, and the family kept the possibility to continue living in Slovakia.

A case without clear status for more than a year

The client had been waiting for a decision for more than a year. Requests and personal visits to the police did not help produce a clear answer.

After Guardian Shield was activated, the law office sent official requests and personally checked the situation at the police department.

A few days later, the officer contacted the attorney and explained which additional documents had to be submitted.

Result: the case was brought out of complete uncertainty, contact with the officer was established, and the next steps became clear.
