AREAS OF EXPERTISE OF THE LAW FIRM
LEGAL SERVICES FOR BUSINESS
Providing everyday services to national and foreign businesses is one of the main areas of expertise of the Law Firm, regardless of the scope of their activity, and particularly in production, development and medical services. We are aware how important it is for our Clients, especially those with foreign capital, to be well informed not only on the legal norms but also on particularities of their economic activity and on court and administrative practice.
INVESTMENT IN CONSTRUCTION DEVELOPMENT
Each investment in construction development may be a source of legal uncertainties and problems on the part of the investor and on the part of future buyers of the real estate. Depending on the scale of the investment project it may turn out to be necessary to seek assistance with the evaluation of the legal status of the immovable property, contesting disadvantageous acts of local law, applying for a decision on land zoning or for a construction permit. It is essential for both the investor and the future buyers to oversee developer contract clauses and their compliance with law.
LABOUR LAW. EMPLOYMENT OF FOREIGNERS.
Whether the Client is an employer or an employee, everyday relationship at the workplace requires a solid knowledge of one’s rights and obligations. At the Law Firm we help employers to eliminate the legal risk from the process of human resources management. In case of employees, they are assisted with securing and pursuing their rights. Several years of experience in this area enable us to select optimal and practical solutions.
COURT LITIGATION
In each and every area of law instituting a legal procedure in many cases serves as the only feasible solution guaranteeing that the Client’s rights are protected. A case properly put together, detailed preparation of trial strategy and handling its consecutive stages with due diligence are key factors for arriving at a favourable outcome. Handling cases before common courts and administrative courts is one of the fundamental areas of practice of the Law Firm.
“CHF CASES” AND CONSUMER CASES
When a contract is concluded between a professional and a consumer the relationship between parties thereto is often significantly imbalanced. The abuse of dominant position by the big companies often lead to violation of consumers’ interests. It is particularly evident on financial services market. On the basis of multiannual experience of its lawyers the Law Firm handles disputes in regard to consumers’ protection, especially in their relationships with financial market entities. Our lawyers represent Clients in the so-called CHF cases, pursue claims in connection with liquidation of saving insurance policies and defend their rights in disputes with Securitisation Funds (FVC) and other structures handling mass debt recovery.
PUBLIC PROCUREMENT LAW
The Public procurement system involves special obligations not only for the contracting authorities but also for contractors. The first must avoid violation of law when preparing and conducting a procedure and the liability for departure from the public finance discipline (in particular after the new Public Procurement Act entered into force on January 1st, 2021). The latter are often not aware of their rights (including rights to challenge clauses of contracts to be signed). With multiannual experience at hand the Law Firm provides legal services for both entities bound by the Public Procurement Act and contractors participating in a public procurement procedure.
INHERITANCE AND DIVISION OF ASSETS
The outcome of succession often leads to disputes, which become impossible to resolve without involvement of a lawyer. Such is also the case when more than one person is entitled to manage estate assets, as it is in a joint marital property or a joint property. For years the team of the Law Firm has been providing assistance aiming at a comprehensive settlement of inheritance disputes, partition of joint property and division of spouses’ assets after spousal statutory joint property ends.
LEGAL SERVICES FOR REAL ESTATE MANAGERS AND ADMINISTRATORS
Everyday operation of each housing community (regardless of its size) may be a source of legal and organisation problems requiring assistance from outside. Life is rich with examples of feuds among neighbours, resolutions being contested without merit, accumulating overdue membership payments towards the community or a need to pursue claims in respect of guarantee and statutory warranty in cases where the common areas of the community turn out to be deficient. Regardless of the housing community’s size each real estate manager and administrator may count on assistance by the Law Firm including legal representation in court litigation.
HOUSING COMMUNITIES
Some housing communities decide not to entrust an administrator with their management. Thanks to academic expertise of one of the Partners of the Law Firm and multi-annual professional experience in the area the Firm offers legal assistance for housing communities in respect of both everyday activities and inevitable disputes (within and outside of the community – the latter with service providers, contractors and neighbouring housing communities).
EU FUNDS BENEFICIARIES
For years the EU funds have been enabling implementation of projects of significant social and research and development importance. Regardless of the current financial perspective and of the nature of the project the elevated level of formal requirements and the serious effect of any irregularities of the beneficiary found on the occasion of control (so-called financial corrections) remain unchanged in the area of applying for the EU funds. Thus, with particular emphasis one must perceive the evaluation of the compliance of EU funds spending withe the Public Procurement Law (in case of the beneficiaries bound by it) or with the rule of competitiveness. The Law Firm offers you its services at every of the above-mentioned steps.
