Please say why you should be considered for the award
The above combination of a significant track record, industry knowledge, our dedication to sector focus and commercial advice sets us apart from our competitors. We work on some of the largest transactions on the market having substantially smaller teams than our main competitors, confirming our efficiency. Our clients appreciate the commitment of senior lawyers at all stages of the transaction.For these reasons we believe our Real Estate Practice merits an award in the Eurobuild Awards 2016 as Law Firm of the Year in Poland.
