We are well aware of how important it is to properly secure relations with a contracting party, and that a well-prepared contract should protect the client’s interests when these relations do not go as planned. We combine expertise with business expectations while providing legal security to our clients, particularly with regard to situations that no one expected at the time of concluding the contract. We draft not only contract templates, including general terms of sale and service provision, but also complex “tailor-made” contracts.

We analyse contracts comprehensively, taking into account both commercial and legal and tax issues. Also, we take into consideration aspects of personal data protection and intellectual property protection. Working closely with foreign law firm partners, we carry out projects extending beyond the Polish jurisdiction, providing clients with comprehensive services for their cross-border ventures. We speak English and German.

We also support our clients during negotiations, as well as in enforcing contract provisions in the event of their non-performance or improper performance by the contracting party.

We support our clients’ advertising and marketing activities by creating legal frameworks for such activities, including rules and regulations, guidelines or bulletins for their promotional campaigns, competitions and loyalty programmes. We review draft contracts received by our clients from their contracting parties, with a view to ensure safe implementation of their business plans.
