B2R Law

Poland

B2RLaw is Poland’s law firm.

We have extensive experience acting in specialized and complex deals and disputes. With an emphasis on client service, we harness knowledge, technology and innovation to improve efficiency and deliver value. Working together as a team is paramount to how we operate, and we firmly believe in working with our clients towards common business goals. Our firm consists of nearly 90 people including lawyers, tax experts and support staff specialising in a number of key practice areas and industry sectors, and located in three offices in Poland – Warsaw, Krakow and Katowice.

Our Business Criminal and Investigations Practice is a core pillar of our firm.

Businesses face new challenges of providing services in a manner that is compliant with increasing regulations and minimizing the risk of liability, including criminal in nature. Our experienced team offers litigation services, when such risks appear and when criminal investigations are commenced. We are a one-stop shop for both civil/business and criminal litigation and always prepare a tailormade strategy that encompass both these practices (if applicable) to best fit the needs of a given client. In addition to offering services with respect to business criminal litigation matters, we also represent clients in other criminal matters.

Risks may also be mitigated by the implementation of internal procedures, compliance with such procedures and commencing internal investigations should a suspicion arise (i.e. aimed at identifying the nature of any irregularity, its cause, the individual(s) responsible and preparing recommendations for further actions). While conducting internal investigations, we cooperate with audit companies which organise the technical side of the investigation (securement and initial analysis of digital data), investigation agencies and commercial information bureaus.
