Over the years, the members of our Common Law Desk have had an opportunity to provide multidisciplinary assistance to a wide range of clients from different common-law jurisdictions in Poland, on the basis of Polish law.
We have assisted clients in virtually all areas of the firm’s expertise (detailed list available here), including participation in some of the biggest M&A transactions (including multinational projects), project financing and refinancing (typically governed by or at least based on English law), high-profile international litigation and arbitration, assistance in establishing clients’ Polish presence (including incorporation or acquisition of companies, business and employee transfers, related restructuring, contract drafting, obtaining regulatory approvals, etc), as well as ongoing local assistance related to existing businesses.
Our interdisciplinary team contributes to virtually all the firm’s publications. Most of them are available here.
