Our main area of expertise is Polish and international M&A transactions, legal services for VC/PE investments, reorganisations within capital groups (domestic and international), due diligence, capital market law (issues of shares and bonds) and corporate law. We advise on capital raising for companies at various levels of development. We also deal with the restructuring and bankruptcy processes, all types of proceedings related to corporate conflicts and protection of intellectual property rights.

We advise both sides of the transaction: the companies or its founders, as well as private equity and venture capital funds. We provide services for both domestic and foreign enterprises. We have experience in transactions involving entities from various industries, mainly e-commerce and new technologies (fintech, biotech, gaming). We are recommended in Polish and international legal rankings.

Our strength is our exceptional team of experts with numerous years of experience gained in renowned law firms, consulting and audit companies, and multinational corporations. The team of permanent consultants – aside attorneys-at-law and advocates – also includes financial advisors, chartered surveyors, tax advisors, and patent attorneys. We also collaborate with experts, advisors, and law firms abroad.

We have many years of experience in the area of private equity and venture capital transactions. We are a partner for both Polish funds operating in the domestic and international markets, as well as for foreign investors planning investments in Poland and other global markets. We manage projects across an array of time zones and business cultures.

We know industry standards like nobody else. Our support covers all phases of the investment process: from the selection of the transaction structure through due diligence, negotiation of transaction documents and end-to-end execution of the transaction to advising on how to manage the investment during its lifetime and how to exit from it. We keep risks to a minimum by identifying legal issues related to the transaction.

We are involved in the entire investment process from the drafting the NDA through the review of the initial terms of the transaction, the due diligence process, the negotiation of the various clauses of the investment agreement and the articles of association/statute to the closing of the transaction and the preparation of collateral and post-closing documentation.

We keep track of the progress of an investment and advising on the investment as it progresses (taking into account modifications to investment documentation, provision of rescue financing or renegotiation of investment terms).
