Full profileFrequently asked questions
We answer directly. Including questions where the answer may be uncomfortable.
We start by establishing the facts and the outcome you want to achieve. We then set out the options available, together with the costs and risks of each. We recommend one of them, but the decision is always yours.
Comprehensive advice across all key areas of law: ongoing support for businesses, transactions, real estate, employment law, intellectual property and new technologies, as well as representation in court and arbitration proceedings.
Any contracts and correspondence relating to the matter, letters from courts or public authorities together with the dates you received them, and a short timeline of events. If something is missing, don’t worry — we will work out together what else is needed.
We agree our fees before any work begins — as an hourly rate, a fixed fee for the matter or a monthly retainer for ongoing support. The scope of work and the basis for billing are confirmed in a written agreement.
We provide legal advice in English, German and Polish, and members of our team also speak Russian. We act for both Polish and international clients.
Your case is handled by the attorney-at-law you speak to — it is not passed on to someone else. Larger projects involve the whole team, but one person remains responsible for keeping in touch with you and for the progress of your matter.
It means entrusting our firm with your company’s ongoing legal work: reviewing contracts, supporting your departments and dealing with public authorities and business partners. You don’t need an in-house legal department, and billing is based on an agreed fixed fee or a set number of hours.
No. No law firm can guarantee the outcome of a case, because the decision rests with a court or public authority and depends on factors beyond our control. What we do commit to is the utmost diligence: an honest assessment of your chances, a well-prepared position and clear information about every significant risk.

Our storyHalina Peszek graduated in law from the Jagiellonian University in 1986 and a few years later opened her own practice. From day one she followed a single rule: clients should know that someone is genuinely looking after their affairs — not in general terms, but case by case. Clients came back, recommended the firm to others, and the practice grew year after year.
Halina’s children also chose law and also graduated from the Jagiellonian University. Anna continued her studies in Heidelberg and Mainz as part of the European Doctoral College and completed the School of German Law and the School of Austrian Law. Rafał completed the School of American Law. Both went through the professional training for Polish attorneys-at-law (aplikacja radcowska) and passed the Polish professional qualifying examination (egzamin radcowski). They did not join the firm by default — they joined as fully qualified attorneys-at-law with experience of their own.
Karol Pazdur, Anna’s husband, took a different route: he completed judicial training and passed the Polish judicial qualifying examination (egzamin sędziowski) before becoming an attorney-at-law. As a result, the team also looks at every case from the court’s point of view — and knows how an argument sounds to the person who has to decide on it.
Today the firm has four attorneys-at-law and two generations of experience.
