Legal problem in Poland - who to turn to?

In Poland there are two types of licensed lawyers: advocates (attorneys) and legal advisors. This division originates from the history of the profession and has no considerable meaning nowadays – the only difference that may be at the client’s interest is legal limitation of activity for the legal advisors, who cannot act as the defense counsels in criminal cases – however, recent legislative projects aim to unify totally the scope of advocates and legal advisors competence.

Some legal acts in Poland require participation of a public notary.

What can a Polish lawyer do for me?

Foreign companies, especially from the European Union, may conduct regular business activity in Poland, trade real estate, conclude contracts or employ staff, also through their branches or agencies or directly by establishing commercial companies in accordance with Polish law.
