EU funds cross-border

We offer comprehensive legal and advisory support for projects co-financed by EU funds — covering grant application strategies, implementation compliance, public procurement for beneficiaries, and settlement procedures.

At GJW Law Firm, we provide full-spectrum legal consultancy for entities seeking to leverage European Union financial instruments in Poland. Our expertise covers structural funds, the Recovery and Resilience Facility (KPO/RRF), and specialized sector-specific programs.

We support beneficiaries throughout the entire grant lifecycle — from the initial eligibility analysis and partnership structuring to ongoing project supervision, reporting, and final audit preparation. Our goal is to ensure that every project is implemented in accordance with both national regulations and EU guidelines, effectively minimizing the risk of financial corrections or the obligation to return funds.

Strategic Compliance and Risk Management in EU Projects

The foundation of a successful project is the rigorous adherence to eligibility rules and the principle of competitiveness. We conduct extended compliance audits that go beyond mere administrative checks, combining legal, procedural, and financial perspectives. Our team focuses on state aid verification, public procurement correctness, and the prevention of irregularities, ensuring that the funding is fully secured from the application stage to the final settlement.
