About the practice
Our experience includes providing comprehensive corporate advice to help companies stay compliant with legal regulations.
We assist entrepreneurs in choosing the appropriate legal structure for their business and in establishing companies. Our experience includes helping startups to scale and attract investors. We also provide advice to private equity and venture capital funds. We prepare investment agreements and the necessary documentation to implement their provisions. Additionally, we offer guidance on public offerings.
We also advise on transactions—both capital (share deal) and asset deals. We support clients at every stage of the process, including thorough due diligence, developing the transaction structure, preparing transaction documents (letter of intent, PSPA, SPA, R&W), and negotiating with other parties involved. Our broad expertise allows us to ensure the legal security of all aspects of the transaction, including sector-specific regulations and sanctions provisions.
We assist entities involved in the capital market, including investment funds, alternative investment firms, fund management companies, investment firms, and issuers. We have experience representing regulated entities before the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF). Additionally, we develop compliance procedures to help ensure these entities operate in accordance with legal requirements and supervisory authority practices.
Our experience also includes handling sanction proceedings before the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF) and the General Inspectorate of Financial Information (GIIF), as well as representing clients in disputes with supervisory authorities before administrative courts.
