Congratulation to all lawyers for their individual recognisions.

We are delighted to announce that in this year’s edition of the international WTR 1000 ranking compiled by World Trademark Review, our law firm has been recognised as one of the best law firms in Poland dealing with enforcement and litigation, and was presented in the ranking’s silver band.

Paweł Podrecki, PhD, Habil., has been recognised among the recommended individuals.

The full results of the ranking are available on the website.

The two firms started collaborating to address expectations of clients requiring access to specialized services, and who need to work with experts with know-how who have knowledge of the market needs. Broad access to highly experienced advisers who often have highly specialized competences not only means that a greater range of services can be provided; above all it ensures an even higher standard of legal services in certain fields. Combining the legal teams will mean that they can advise clients on both EU and Polish intellectual property law, competition law, ICT and new technologies law, the GDPR, FinTech, commercial and trade law, energy law, RES law, environmental law, industrial law, or also a broad range of energy transformation law issues. It is these areas that pose the greatest challenges today, and give our clients a competitive edge.

The many years of experience of lawyers from the two firms will guarantee an all-embracing service for even the most demanding clients, and a proactive approach to their needs, accounting for the rapid changes in the market.

Polowiec i Wspólnicy has many years of experience working with the energy absorption industry. Competences in the field of energy, fuel, HSE, waste, or for instance medical law include advisory, negotiation, and regulatory issues. Lawyers at the firm derive their know-how primarily from knowledge of the sectors on which they advise, and of limitations and current regulatory challenges. This knowledge and know-how perfectly complements our team’s skills – Jan Byrski, a partner at Traple Konarski Podrecki i Wspólnicy, said.

The new team’s competences also include advising on strategic decision-making concerning major changes and legislative developments, and the related practical aspects. Professional experience gained when working with various entities, knowledge of the economic and legislative context, and a customized approach to a client’s expectations are the clearly discernible assets of the combined teams. Providing support for growing clients’ businesses will be an absolute priority.

We are proud to be able to work with such a diverse and specialized team of experts that have a strong position on the Polish and cross-border markets. I am sure that together we will be up to the ambitious challenges that clients present. Expanding the range of services we provide to include cybersecurity, competition law, ICT and new technologies law, and other areas of law clearly meets market expectations – Beata Superson-Polowiec, a partner at Polowiec i Wspólnicy, says.

We are pleased to announce that once again the intellectual property law team has been named in the prestigious ranking of top law firms, Chambers and Partners Global in Poland 2022 (Band 2).

The following received individual mentions:

• Professor Paweł Podrecki of the Institute of Law Studies of the Polish Academy of Sciences (INP PAN)  (Band 3)
• Dr Tomasz Targosz (Band 3)

Thank you to our clients for placing your trust in us!

Among the team working on the case were: Dr. Jan Byrski, Professor of the Cracow University of Economics, and Karol Juraszczyk. More KNF registration procedures are pending – stay tuned
