Regulatory Disputes
The last three decades of the Polish legal system have been a period of dynamic development of administrative law and intensive regulation of successive areas of the economy.
Competition and consumer protection, financial supervision, sectoral regulations (telecommunications, energy, transport, postal services), personal data protection, and compliance obligations have become permanent features of the legal environment for businesses.
In this reality, disputes with regulatory authorities are not merely incidental events, but a natural element of conducting business in many industries. For years, we have been supporting clients in such proceedings—both at the administrative stage and during judicial review of decisions. We represent businesses in cases where regulatory decisions, imposed sectoral obligations, or regulatory requirements significantly affect their operational activities, business model, or financial condition.
Our approach combines litigation experience with in-depth understanding of the specifics of regulated markets. Operating at the intersection of administrative law, competition protection, and court proceedings, we offer comprehensive support in disputes of high complexity and precedential significance.
Our disputes practice has been recognized in the international Legal 500 ranking, and the firm’s lawyers ranked 1st in the “Litigation and Arbitration” category in the Rzeczpospolita ranking.
