Arbitration

Arbitration and negotiation are significant elements not only of the legal art but, more importantly, of all business activity. We provide services and grant our support in the course of any arbitration proceedings and negotiations, however we are particularly experienced and qualified in the field of business and trade.

Contract counsel

We have an effective team of lawyers who specialise in contractual law, offering high quality services in the area of drafting and/or supervising the development of various types of civil law agreements between both domestic and foreign entities.

We assist with all kinds of business relations regulated by various agreements or contracts, including the sales of goods and services, investment, and cooperation with local government bodies or governmental authorities.

We are experienced in both independent representation of our clients, and working in cooperation with our clients' Legal Departments whom we support with our knowledge and expertise.

• Commercial companies law

• Bankruptcy and composition agreement proceedings

• Representation in civil cases

• Representation in criminal cases

• Representation in the course of administrative proceedings

• Vindication

Labour law

We do not waste time for redundant legal complexities. Our objective is always to achieve the final economic effect and satisfy the interests of our clients rather than practise law for its own sake. We energetically support our clients' claims before bodies of administration of justice, trying, where possible, to avoid long court litigations and come to a resolution even as early as at the stage of prejudicial acts. We are convinced that amicable agreement that satisfies our clients' claims is one of the basic tools of modern business.

Criminal law

Among other legal services our professional assistance includes all legal acts in general criminal and fiscal penal proceedings - from preliminary proceedings before penal prosecution agencies and their supervisory public prosecutor's offices competent in material and territorial jurisdiction, to acts of legal procedure before courts competent in material and territorial jurisdiction, to preparing and supporting admissible measures of appeal.

Our lawyers provide assistance during the execution of the adjudicated penalty by providing ongoing legal protection of convicts or persons on probation. They also offer support to convicted persons in exercising their rights, including suspension and interruption of imprisonment, and help structure and support motions for the exercise of the right to pardon.

Tax law

Given the significance of the taxation related aspects of business activity we provide all kinds of legal assistance in terms of tax law.

Because of its specific character tax law is not usually included in the offer of many law firms. However, understanding its importance, we monitor the quickly changing regulatory environment in order to provide our clients with comprehensive legal services. We deal with all kinds of tax proceedings initiated both by revenue and treasury supervision offices. Our experienced lawyers often defend our clients before Revenue Chambers and administrative courts. We cooperate closely with a newly created organisation - the Polish Taxpayer Association - to disclose and stigmatise the most drastic cases of breach of the law by tax and revenue authorities.

Labour law

Labour law in Poland is a complex issue, therefore in this field we often provide legal assistance not only to institutional clients but also to natural persons.

We assist enterprises with all labour law cases. We help create contracts, negotiate with employees or vindicate claims, and represent our clients in court proceedings. We support all our clients' interests, provide professional counsel, and develop all kinds of legal opinions in matters of concern to them, valuing feasible and practical solutions rather then theoretical divagations.

We also represent natural persons before their employers, and protect their employee rights in the course of court proceedings ensuring clarity and transparency of our services at each stage.

Our lawyers deal with all aspects and all stages of the companies' activities, including issues related to the functioning of their governing bodies, partners, shareholders or proxies, as well as all the other issues that arise in the course of the business of an enterprise.
