The growing potential of Poland’s economy, its investment-friendly environment, and the trend of successful Polish companies moving to new markets were the deciding factors behind creating a Polish Desk within the structures of PETERKA PARTNERS.
The Polish Desk is comprised of professionals experienced in providing legal services to international companies doing business in Poland and Central and Eastern Europe as a whole. We also help leading Polish companies with entering new markets and conducting business operations in CEE. In such cases, the Warsaw office of PETERKA PARTNERS acts as a “one-stop shop” coordinating the provision of legal services without the need of our clients having to communicate with offices in other jurisdictions. This unique approach, combined with top-notch legal expertise, makes us a reliable business partner.
PETERKA PARTNERS has been present in Poland and CEE for more than fifteen years. During this time, we have gained vast experience and obtained specialized know-how with regards to helping Polish businesses abroad and in CEE in particular. For this reason, we can provide our clients with appropriate and cost-efficient services.
