Legal Advisory

We minimise legal and regulatory risks, providing a solid foundation for the secure growth of your business. We are your trusted source of ongoing support – whether you need a quick answer to a day-to-day question or are planning a transaction, reorganisation or succession.

We combine strict legal requirements with a practical approach to business. We do not work in isolation from your tax and financial advisors – we work side by side to provide you with consistent solutions for your entire business, rather than isolated legal opinions.

Running a company involves continuously meeting formal requirements – resolutions, changes in the National Court Register (KRS), internal regulations, registration and reporting obligations are just some of the regular responsibilities faced by small, medium-sized and large businesses. We can take full responsibility for these obligations, allowing you to focus on what matters most to your business.

As part of our ongoing corporate support, we prepare draft resolutions for corporate bodies, document changes to management and supervisory boards, and prepare and update internal regulations. We represent you before the registry court and handle filings with the National Court Register (KRS), the tax office and the Central Register of Beneficial Owners. We also answer your day-to-day legal questions – clearly and promptly, without unnecessarily delaying your business decisions.

We also support foreign entities starting operations in Poland – from selecting the appropriate legal form and establishing a company, through obtaining identification numbers, to arranging qualified electronic signatures for foreign shareholders and managers.

A transaction – whether an acquisition, sale, merger or joint venture – is one of the most complex processes in the life of a business. We support you from the initial analysis through to post-transaction integration, working as one coordinated team rather than a group of separate advisors.

We conduct legal due diligence, reviewing contracts, corporate structures, liabilities and regulatory risks relating to the transaction target. We advise on transaction structuring to protect your capital and minimise legal risk. We negotiate and prepare transaction documentation, including investment agreements, SPAs, SHAs, non-disclosure agreements and letters of intent.

Following completion of the transaction, we support you with post-transaction integration – implementing corporate governance principles, adapting the management structure and fulfilling contractual post-closing obligations.

Good corporate governance is not simply a set of formalities – it is the foundation of transparent management and the protection of all shareholders’ interests. We help design and implement corporate structures that are legally secure, operationally efficient and prepared for changes in ownership.

We guide you through mergers, demergers and company transformations – from analysis and planning through to registration of changes and post-transaction documentation. We advise on corporate group reorganisations and the creation of holding structures, always working closely with our tax experts to achieve an optimal outcome for all stakeholders.

Succession planning is one of the most challenging processes for a business owner – it requires balancing business, family and personal interests. We help you navigate this process in a considered, fair and legally secure way.

We advise on selecting the appropriate form and structure for succession, prepare agreements and ownership documentation, and protect the interests of both the owner and the next generation or a new investor. If you are planning to sell your business or join the ETL network, we provide comprehensive legal support throughout the process, starting from the very first meeting.

• One team, multiple areas of expertise – our lawyers work closely with ETL’s tax and financial advisors to provide you with consistent recommendations rather than conflicting opinions.
• Local knowledge, global perspective – we know Polish law inside out and understand the realities of the Polish market, while also having access to experts across the ETL network in more than 50 countries.
• Practical approach – we do not prepare legal opinions simply to fulfil formal requirements. Every recommendation is specific, clear and ready to implement.
• Full transaction lifecycle – from due diligence and structuring through to documentation and post-transaction integration. We support you every step of the way.
