On the Polish legal market we are one of the leaders in providing legal advice to general contractors, subcontractors, investors and design companies implementing complex construction and infrastructure investments (roads, engineering, large-scale projects, power engineering, public utility facilities, sports facilities, industrial facilities). We have been advising our clients for over 15 years on the largest infrastructure and construction projects in Poland and representing parties in related court and arbitration disputes.
In The Legal 500, an international ranking of law firms, (for 2018, 2019 and 2020), our law firm was recognised as a Leading Firm (Top Tier) in the Construction/Construction disputes category, and Prof. Przemysław Drapała was awarded the Leading Individual in Poland title in this category.

Moreover, we successfully advise our clients on matters concerning, among others, claims for delays in construction site handover, faulty design documentation, payment and increase of remuneration, settlement of completed additional and substitute works, general construction costs, charged liquidated damages, performance of warranty or guarantees of quality, as well as other claims arising in the course of the execution of construction investment projects.
