Focus Poland

Our services address the needs of both Polish companies expanding abroad and companies expanding into Poland.

Polish Companies expanding abroad

As a Polish company that is already operating abroad or plans to expand internationally, we provide you comprehensive support in the area of commercial law. You can find details about the services we offer on this website under Expertise.

Companies expanding into Poland

We provide local legal support for international businesses establishing, operating and investing in Poland.

Poland has become one of Europe’s most attractive investment destinations and strategic location for manufacturing, logistics, technology and cross-border commercial operations. Successful expansion requires legal structures that are both compliant with Polish regulations and aligned with the company’s wider international objectives.  

We advise businesses on Polish law through our Polish legal team. We regularly support international businesses that require a local point of contact capable of addressing Polish law issues within a wider cross-border context.

Our clients include companies with existing operations in Poland as well as businesses considering entry into the Polish market for the first time.
