    Bankruptcy

    Our firm offers comprehensive legal advisory services in the field of bankruptcy law, providing support for both businesses and individuals at every stage of proceedings.

    Through our extensive experience and comprehensive knowledge, we effectively represent our clients—both debtors and creditors—in bankruptcy matters, from preparing bankruptcy petitions to actions following the declaration of bankruptcy.

    We also specialize in particularly complex matters, such as cross-border bankruptcy, which requires consideration of international law and regulations applicable in various jurisdictions. We also support our clients in pursuing claims arising from legal acts performed to the detriment of creditors, including filing actio pauliana claims, which enables the recovery of assets lost due to improper actions by the debtor.

    Additionally, our advisory services cover the liability of board members, who may be held liable for actions or omissions, such as failure to file for bankruptcy in a timely manner or committing offenses to the detriment of creditors. Our team of experts offers comprehensive assistance in defending against claims of this nature.

    Our firm employs not only attorneys specializing in bankruptcy law, but also experts in corporate finance and restructuring advisors. Through our collaboration with trustees and experience gained while working on court appointments, we possess an additional perspective that enables us to provide effective and comprehensive handling of bankruptcy matters, tailored to the individual needs of our clients.

    We are among the leading largest and most distinguished law firms in Poland. Our experience, competence, and achievements have been recognized in national and international rankings organized by, among others, Legal 500, Rzeczpospolita, and Dziennik Gazeta Prawna.

    The Restructuring and Bankruptcy Team is recommended in the Legal 500 ranking in the Restructuring and Insolvency category. Our firm’s attorneys have also been ranked 2nd in the “Restructuring and Bankruptcy” category in the Rzeczpospolita ranking.
