Significant Belarusian diaspora in Poland. Sanctions exposure requires individual screening before any engagement.
Significant Belarusian diaspora in Poland. Sanctions exposure requires individual screening before any engagement.
For matters connecting Poland and Belarus, we coordinate with trusted local partners — and where the matter falls within our priority partner jurisdictions, we engage lawyers from the partner office directly. The Polish-side partner remains the client's single point of contact throughout. Approach outline is provided within 48 hours of initial engagement.
Coordination with local partners. Counsel introductions in Belarus are made on a case-by-case basis. We do not maintain exclusive referral arrangements. The selection criterion is fit to the specific matter: regulatory expertise, sector knowledge, transaction size, and (for litigation) seat-court familiarity. Engagement letters always disclose any introducing-counsel fees.
Within two business hours during CET working hours, the Polish-side partner reads your message and decides whether the matter requires local Belarus counsel coordination, network deployment, or sole Polish handling. The first approach outline — scope, timeline, and fee proposal — is sent within 48 hours of initial engagement, with no commitment from your side.
No — and we say so transparently. KORDECKI & Partners is admitted to practise Polish law. For substantive Belarus legal questions we engage trusted local counsel, either through our partner network (for the seven network jurisdictions) or via curated partner-firm relationships maintained since 2009. The Polish partner remains your single point of contact and coordinates billing, scope and timeline.
As early as the moment you suspect cross-border exposure. Many Belarus–Poland matters compress quickly under regulatory deadlines (notification windows, tax-filing dates, employment notice periods). Sending a 5–10 sentence description costs nothing — and a partner will tell you within two hours whether immediate action is needed.
We coordinate with local partners in Belarus so you work with one team, not two. We outline the approach within 48 hours.
