Our solutions for
Technology firms

We advise the whole spectrum of innovators: from individuals with business ideas and the ambition to bring them to life to corporations that were once start-ups but have grown into successful businesses.

IP / IT

How is an idea converted into successful technology? Apart from the creation of the legal framework for your company, we will advise you on the protection of your intellectual property, on setting up your relationships with inventors and innovators and on structuring sales models.

We use our network to introduce founders to investors and vice versa.

Contracts

Each contract has its own life cycle. Let us be your guide. It is a long journey from understanding the basic commercial terms, through the drafting of contracts, obtaining internal approvals and the negotiation of the final version with the counterparty. Even when the contract is concluded it is just the beginning. You need to constantly be aware of your continuing obligations from the contracts, fulfil them and sometimes enforce them in court. We will help you understand complex contractual terms. We will ask you many questions to ensure that we understand what you really want to achieve. Throughout this process we will provide you with points of view that may not have previously occurred to you.

Employment agenda

People are the key to every successful project. We feel that as the business environment gradually evolves, the transparent and fair treatment of employees is a fundamental building block of the reputation for every successful firm. Information technology and the rapidly changing labour market bring new global challenges. Swift reactions are a must. We are here to help you navigate these stormy waters.

Personal data protection

Personal data protection is not a question of merely filing simple documents into the company’s archives. It is a landscape that will not disappear - it will become more sensitive and it will be ever more closely scrutinised. That is why companies must approach this field systematically and fairly, through the implementation of internal processes and discipline in compliance with such processes. We will explain what you need to do, help you to understand the regulations and draft the necessary documents for you.

Our solutions for
Real estate developers

Our clients are smaller developers focusing on residential projects as well as large investment funds with long-term experience of the development of commercial malls, administrative complexes or well-known residential projects in downtown areas.

Development

We understand the dangers that developers face. We will help you with setting up the best shareholding structure and the acquisition of construction plots. We will provide support for structuring and negotiating contracts with suppliers. Each project has its own specifics, whether it is archaeological discoveries, environmental burdens or problems with access. We know that you expect us to provide swift solutions as you are under pressure from suppliers, financing banks and your clients.

Purchase and sale

We have been advising clients on the purchase and sale of real estate (whether through asset deals or share deals) for a very long time. Nationalisation, privatisation, restitution, land adjustments, complex land legislation, limited due diligence options, duplicate ownership, inconsistent practices of cadastral offices or inexperienced real estate agents – this is only a brief catalogue of problems that we have encountered. Legal defects are one of the most notorious problems of real estate. We will assist you in making an informed decision on any contemplated purchase or sale.

Operation/lease

The construction of a residential, commercial or administrative development is an enormous undertaking. We know that even if this is completed, the crucial work just starts. Agreements on future lease contracts, leases, fit outs, guarantees, warranties, enforcement of claims for damages, operations manuals and property management are all very complex topics. The quality of the contracts drafted will sooner or later become important. In every large construction project there will inevitably be some disputes. We will help you to arrange your legal relationships in the best possible way, with the objective of avoiding disputes. We will help you to foresee potential problems and we will propose contractual solutions. If none are available, we will advise you how to proceed.

Our solutions for
Regulated entities

We enjoy advising our clients operating in various industries, whether those industries are heavily regulated or where regulation is just being developed. We find it especially interesting when we advise on innovative projects which disrupt traditional business models.

Financial services (insurance, fintech)

In particular, we advise fintechs and insurance companies. As part of this work we assess new business models and their compliance with legislation, we prepare legal analysis on disputed issues, we set-up and localise insurance terms, advise on reorganisation, restructuring and transfers of insurance portfolios.

Energy

Apart from standard regulatory advisory work, in the last few years we have also focused on renewable energy, in particular on the development, sale and purchase of renewable energy sources. In addition, we provide advice to energy suppliers and global fuel station network.

Mineral deposits / mining

We have experience with the interpretation and application of mining and geological legislation at every level of state administration. In this field we have also advised on international arbitration.

Retail

Retail, loyalty programmes, consumer protection, advertising, competition and franchise schemes are areas with which we and our clients are very familiar. As in every industry, the retail industry is being transformed: electronic trade and remote sales are increasingly important to our retail clients.

We react swiftly and try to set realistic expectations. Our clients can lean on us. We do not give empty promises. If we make a promise, we honour it.

Hard work

Hard work and attention to detail are in direct opposition to mental laziness. The pursuit of these qualities is a decision that one has to make consciously. We have made this decision. We are willing to get out of our comfort zone and do things better and faster.

We believe in observing the rules of social responsibility. Even though we cannot transform the entire society, together with our clients we try to improve the environment that surrounds us. Responsibility is not only to meet deadlines, but above all, to bear the consequences of our actions.
