Comprehensive legal advisory services are provided in the field of corporate and cross-border transactions governed by Polish and EU law. The team of experienced lawyers supports international investors and companies operating in Poland, offering practical, business-oriented solutions for complex corporate structures and transactions.
We specialise in cross-border corporate transactions, investment projects, and international contracts — operating in accordance with Polish law and the standards of international commercial practice.
Our team brings together experienced lawyers who advise international corporations, investment funds, construction groups, and IT companies.
We provide legal counsel in the fields of business law, corporate law, and cross-border compliance, helping clients build transparent, secure, and efficient structures for business operations in Europe and beyond.
We advise international investors and companies on the execution of corporate transactions in Poland. Our team assists in structuring, negotiating, and completing transactions between entities from different jurisdictions, including share deals, asset deals, joint ventures, corporate reorganisations, and integrations. We ensure that every stage of the transaction complies with Polish law, EU regulations, and international business standards.
We provide comprehensive legal support in mergers and acquisitions involving Polish entities. Our work includes conducting detailed due diligence, preparing and negotiating Share Purchase Agreements (SPAs) and Shareholders’ Agreements (SHAs), and obtaining regulatory and antitrust approvals before the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK) and other relevant authorities. We also assist with post-transaction integration, ensuring that corporate, contractual, and employment structures are harmonised in accordance with Polish legal requirements.
We draft and review a wide range of international commercial agreements concluded between Polish companies and foreign partners. These include commercial, licensing, agency, distribution, and technology contracts. We focus on ensuring clarity, legal certainty, enforceability, and predictability of contractual obligations. We advise on applicable law, jurisdiction, and dispute resolution clauses to safeguard our clients’ interests in cross-border transactions.
We support corporate groups operating in Poland in designing and implementing compliance and governance systems that meet both Polish and EU legal requirements. Our expertise covers AML procedures, GDPR compliance, internal control systems, and whistleblowing frameworks. We also assist management and supervisory boards in adopting effective corporate governance models and conducting compliance audits.
We advise investors on the establishment and management of Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) or holding companies in Poland. Our services include drafting investment and shareholders’ agreements and structuring joint ventures. We design investment frameworks that are secure, efficient, and aligned with the Polish regulatory and tax environment, supporting sustainable, long-term growth.
We assist clients engaged in, or planning, international operations, offering strategic legal advisory across multiple sectors:
We assist clients at every stage of the process — from transaction planning, legal and regulatory due diligence, and contract negotiation to post-merger integration and dispute resolution. Our approach combines a deep understanding of Polish corporate and investment law with extensive experience in international business practice, ensuring both legal certainty and commercial efficiency.
Where projects involve multiple jurisdictions, we cooperate closely with trusted law firms from other EU member states, enabling seamless coordination of cross-border aspects while maintaining an individual approach, clear communication, and full transparency for each client.
