Our real estate practice has undergone a major change recently, gaining a new leader and growing to 12 people. We focus on transactional matters, but still retain full capabilities in asset management work, which is an important part of our expertise. We have gained unique experience in the realization of a range of major and often pioneering transactions and projects connected with market entry of international corporations setting up their production facilities in Poland, as well as R&D and data centers. We advise clients comprehensively. Our advantage is that we work closely with one of the best tax practices in the market, as well as a strong banking and capital markets practice (following recent enhancements). Our capabilities are confirmed by our participation on Google's side in the largest CEE office transaction in recent years - the acquisition of the Warsaw Hub. We are repeatedly ranked by the most prestigious legal publications such as Chambers Europe and Legal 500 EMEA.
