“Everyone reaches a certain age when they quietly reflect about the trajectory of their lives. This includes recollections about the past and memories of influential people who helped shape us. They may be family, teachers, friends, colleagues or even distant ‘mentors’ who seized our attention and provided inspiration towards bolder, better and more meaningful achievements.
In this spirit, I established Gostynski and Partners over 15 years ago. My primary inspiration came from my late father, Zbigniew Gostynski who devoted his professional life to legal practice. My father studied, lived and worked during extremely challenging times when Poland lay behind the ‘Iron Curtain’ and the world was gripped by the malign impacts of the ‘Cold War’ Seeking justice and legal remedies within an inherently crooked system required great determination and considerable courage.
The frustration and hardship for honest legal professionals during those dark times must have been unimaginable and yet my father never succumbed to cynicism or hopelessness. Every hard-won case or successful outcome represented a small victory against the prevailing injustice and fear. It certainly provided the momentum to persevere and seek greater justice for clients in Poland and beyond.
For my late father and for myself today, through the law offices of Gostynski and Partners that proudly bears his name, our mission is focused upon protecting your legal rights, personal well-being and peace of mind.
Peace of mind is not an abstract concept but a most valuable asset and fundamental right. It eliminates anxiety, reduces uncertainty and fear allowing our clients to function and flourish in their everyday lives without legal impediments.
Based on past experience and numerous successful outcomes, Gostynski and Partners have developed a proactive case management approach. This makes even the most complex cases more manageable, offering natural intermediary points that bring clarity, understanding and reassurance to clients. While at the same time, it motivates everyone to work together towards better and lasting solutions.
Together with my colleagues, we look forward to working with you in a respectful and effective partnership towards achieving the best possible results.
Thank you for your trust and confidence.”

Corporate and Business law embraces a diverse and wide-ranging legal and regulatory terrain. The former focuses on the distribution of goods and services in a marketplace. Conversely, business law addresses the formation and structuring of companies, mergers, acquisitions and the rights of stakeholders. There are differences but also significant complementarity.
Gostynski and Partners assists clients to successfully navigate this complex legal landscape with clarity and efficiency by eliminating obstacles, minimising risks and facilitating your business growth.
Good health in terms of physical and psychological well-being are without a doubt, every individual’s most valuable rights and assets. When injury occurs to either or both, especially as the result of negligence or wrongful conduct, the consequences can be serious and far reaching.
Gostynski and Partners are committed to the diligent and professional management of personal injury cases whether domestic or international. In the search for legal remedies our approach is multi-disciplinary and focused on the essential responsibility of client care. This embraces counselling, medical referrals, transportation and logistics, supplying expert reports and any actions required to assist, protect and reassure the client.
A successful outcome is not only defined by a desirable legal - financial remedy but also in the restoration of good health together with peace of mind.
In the present climate of uncertainty with turbulent economic transitions, social tensions and political turmoil, conflicts and disputes can arise unexpectedly within the business environment. Even with dispute resolution agreements or arbitration clauses there is scope for costly disagreements and conflicts that undermine trust and growth potential.
As a complex services provider, Gostynski and Partners have the necessary skills, insights and experience to offer effective dispute resolution. This is grounded within an international, multilingual and multicultural practice that actively builds trust and understanding. This is the first essential step in delivering resolutions that are equitable, transparent and acceptable to all parties.
With on-going restructuring and rapid economic growth, the Polish labour market is both dynamic and challenging. For employers and employees alike, the priority is to define working arrangements that are efficient, equitable, fair and fully compliant with the essential laws and regulations.
Gostynski and Partners have deep insights and experience in all aspects of Polish labour law focused on the rights and responsibilities of employers and employees. The solutions offered are customised to the requirements of each client or business. They maximise the potential, minimise the costs and eliminate obstacles for all stakeholders operating in the Polish, European and international work-environments.
Gosytnski and Partners has a well established track record of efficiently managing real estate transactions in Poland for private and business clients. This includes all aspects of sale, purchase and management of the related assets.
A particular focus is the management of historical restitution claims for properties in Poland unlawfully seized during wartime Nazi occupation and during the post war years by Soviet-backed Communist regimes.
Cooperating with international partners, academia, historical archives and various justice institutions, Gostynski and Partners offers counsel to those seeking restitution and reparations. While many historical claims are highly complex and require long term commitment, we offer clients an honest appraisal of the likelihood of success. Furthermore, we strive to uncover and provide factual details of events which, although fading in living memory, still have great personal, historical and cultural significance.
Regardless of location; businesses, institutions and individuals increasingly operate in expanding and interconnected digital environments. These not only offer a range of new opportunities and services but also increase exposure to active risks and threats, including data breaches, privacy invasion, theft of proprietary information, online fraud, misinformation and other adverse actions.
In close collaboration with associates and technical specialists in Europe and the US, Gostynski and Partners offers clients the ability to counter online threats through managed cyber-intelligence. This approach ensures risks are fully evaluated and rendered more manageable before they cause major harm or disruption.
This is complemented with legal counsel on appropriate strategies and regulations related to the protection of intellectual property, proprietary information, personal privacy and confidentiality in digital domains.
