German Desk.
DACH Mittelstand companies operating in Poland — Mittelstand manufacturers, logistics groups, automotive suppliers, technology firms. We advise in German and English on the full operating stack: corporate, employment, real estate, tax, compliance.
What this desk does
Germany accounts for 21% of all foreign direct investment in Poland and remains the country's largest trading partner. Our German Desk is the entry point for DACH-headquartered companies establishing or expanding Polish operations — and the ongoing counsel for matters that arise during the operating phase.
Olga Adamczyk leads the desk, advising in German and English on posted-worker rules (Directive 96/71 and the 2018 enforcement amendments), GmbH-to-sp. z o.o. governance bridges, real-estate acquisitions, KSeF for cross-border invoicing, transfer pricing, and CSDDD/LkSG supply-chain compliance.
For matters involving German law itself, we work with partner firms in Berlin, Frankfurt and Munich. Coordination is handled by our partner — the client retains a single relationship in Poland rather than juggling two legal teams.
