Advisory in the field of company law and mergers and acquisitions has been one of the most important areas of services provided by the law firm Domański Zakrzewski Palinka since its establishment in 1993. This practice has been recognized as one of the best in Poland for many years, not only by our clients, but also by national and international specialist publications ( Chambers & Partners ,  Legal 500 ,  IFLR1000 ) recommending DZP as experts in the field of mergers and acquisitions and corporate advisory .

Over 40 market-recognized and experienced experts work under the direction of 11 Partners on all types of transactions, including innovative operations on an international scale. We carry out various types of transactions, including leveraged buyouts, management takeovers, joint ventures, reorganizations and restructurings, including both mergers and divisions of companies, as well as acquisitions in regulated sectors.

We are distinguished not only by the high substantive level of the services provided, but also by a very good understanding of the essence of our clients' business activities. We adjust legal solutions, proposing solutions that allow achieving goals as close as possible to the original expectations and business assumptions of our clients, providing them with full legal comfort. By shaping project structures and formulating transaction documents, we secure the interests of our clients and minimize the risk of potential disputes.

We support our knowledge with intuition and knowledge of the market, which we have gained thanks to cooperation with Polish and foreign entities operating in various sectors of the economy, such as: energy, banking and finance, construction and real estate, retail and FMCG, automotive, telecommunications, media and many others. We represent financial institutions, commercial law companies, both those listed on the stock exchange and private. We provide services to brokerage houses, investment companies, private equity and venture capital funds, as well as state-owned companies.

In addition to the brand, information is a valuable asset of every enterprise, the technical possibilities of which are still being developed for its storage, transmission and use. Just as it is not easy to expand on the market without taking care of the development and protection of the brand, running most enterprises seems difficult without the support of information technologies. Therefore, there is a need to include the above processes in a legal framework while minimizing the potential risk.
