Scope of services

The newly-established enterprises do not operate only in IT field. They also run design workshops, natural cosmetics’ manufactures or online shops. Regardless of the branch of my client and the stage of their business, I am always glad to explain all troubling issues, guide my client’s activity to correct paths, encourage him to take certain measures and sometimes also cool their ideas if their implementation could expose them to negative consequences.

Negotiations with clients, development of the brand on new markets, problems with effective recovery, structural changes in the company – these are the most frequent reasons for small and medium enterprises to search for legal assistance. I am glad to advise and assist the entrepreneurs throughout the course of their business activity.

Associations and foundations which operate currently in Poland are rarely classical non-profit organizations. More frequently, they act “non for profit” and their business activity is a way to earn funds for their statutory purposes. Once the non-profit performance and the business activity exist together, legal assistance quite often turns out to be necessary.

The leasing contract, although very popular among entrepreneurs, can still cause several problems. A leasing contract, like a rental contract, allows you to use cars or machines without having to commit significant amount of money to buy them. However, it differs a lot from a rental agreement. The law firm advises clients on the choice of the best legal form of use of vehicles and machinery from the point of view of their business activity, and also supports them in disputes with leasing companies and insurance companies (motor insurance).

For many years I have been providing legal services for French-speaking clients who begin their business activity in Poland. I have also worked with Polish entrepreneurs whose clients have their registered office in one of the French-speaking countries. The peculiarity of these regions and French culture makes the French-speaking customers keen on working with French-speaking lawyers. Such clients often expect that contracts, minutes or requests will be drafted in bilingual or French version.

Total loss and partial loss – which insurance should be used to settle?

In the event of a road collision which resulted in a damage on your car, the most obvious way to repair the damage is to seek compensation from an insurance company.

However if you entered into an own-damage vehicle insurance agreement (“AC insurance”), you are entitled to seek compensation from the insurance company regardless of whose fault the collision was. What should you take into consideration when making a decision? What are the differences in settlements under both of the insurance types?

Declaration of insolvency of a limited liability company – does it really protect a member of the management board?

People generally believe that submitting a bankruptcy petition of a limited liability company and declaring it insolvent by the court enables the management board to rest assured. This belief originates from focusing only on the content of art. 299 of Polish Commercial Companies Code (hereinafter: CCC), without the correct analysis of the bankruptcy law provisions. However, in reality, even after declaring the company bankrupt, the assets of members of the management board might not be protected. Why does it happen?
