Chambers Global 2025 for Kochański & Partners
This year’s Chambers Global 2025 international ranking results are now in. We have received hard proof that we have one of the strongest teams in the market for corporate and M&A law as well as litigation.
Chambers Global 2025 from the perspective of Kochański & Partners
The Chambers Global ranking is the ultimate test for lawyers. A global, rigorous, meticulous, reliable and honest assessment of who we are, where and how we operate, what our values are and what results we actually achieve.
It is an objective guide to the practices, specialists and teams, areas of expertise and philosophies of top law firms.
And we have a strong, well-structured team that has an excellent understanding of the strategic challenges faced by businesses – entrepreneurs who are linked in a web of economic interdependence, dependent on economic factors, the political situation and global social phenomena.
Corporate and M&A
Businesses do not stand still, they are constantly redefining themselves, looking for niche areas and new markets, investing in technology, professionalising and scaling up their operations and acquiring competitors.
Their aim is always to grow and develop, but they need a partner who not only prepares the ground, explores opportunities and hedges risks, but also identifies further opportunities and actively initiates ideas by developing them into concrete businesses and monetising projects.
This is precisely the role of our Corporate and Transactional Practice Group teams, led by Paweł Cholewiński, Rafał Rapala and Natalia Kotłowska-Wochna.
Success today is not about simple management and maintaining the status quo. It is connected with a constant willingness to push the boundaries, where the key is not so much the mere knowledge of the law and familiarity with regulations, but the ability to apply them in the right, agile way, and in doing so, creating new business opportunities. Our clients no longer ask “is it possible?”, but “how and how soon can we do it?” – says Paweł Cholewiński, Head of the Transactional Practice Group.
Chambers Global recognised our practice for, among other things:
- Mergers and acquisitions in the energy, real estate and technology sectors – in Poland and many European jurisdictions
- Transactions for investment funds and private equity firms
- Sale and lease back transactions
- Launching foreign brands on the Polish and European markets
We have conducted over a dozen corporate and tax due diligence reviews, developed optimal transaction structures and represented clients in negotiations. All to achieve our clients’ business objectives and plans.
Litigation
Even when a business is running like a well-oiled machine, it is worth making sure that nothing can clog up the running engine. Litigation and white-collar crime are always a threat. This is an area where the survival of the business, its reputation and the future of key people in the organisation are often at stake.
This is where the tried and tested strategy of the ‘Litigation by Sectors: Kochański & Partners Perspective’ comes from.
Because our clients expect not only the safe handling of their case through complex procedures and processes, but above all the proactive support of an advisor who anticipates threats, builds an effective defence strategy and always acts in advance. Someone who understands that in today’s world, one issue can have a knock-on effect and affect the whole organisation.
This is precisely the role of our Litigation team, led by Piotr Kochański, Witold Głuchowski and Mateusz Ostrowski. They combine in-depth legal knowledge with a business-minded approach and an understanding of the wider economic context in which our clients operate.
Nowadays, being a great trial lawyer is no longer enough. Equally valuable is the ability to see the big picture – the perspective of the whole business – and to anticipate the long-term consequences of specific cases and actions. And this requires not only legal knowledge, an understanding of the market, the nature of a particular industry and the subtle interrelationships between them, but also business intuition and the ability to work under pressure, says Witold Głuchowski, head of the Litigation Practice.
Chambers Global recognised our litigation team for, among other things:
- Involvement in cases concerning the enforcement of judgments against the Russian Federation – as we have been firmly on the side of Ukraine from the outset
- Effective defence of journalists and freedom of speech
- An effective and efficient team on the side of the largest banks operating on the Polish market
- Pro bono support for victims of war crimes committed by Russian troops in Ukraine and assistance to Ukrainian student teams in the finals of the Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition in Washington DC
Chambers Global 2025 – who’s behind it
Our teams have shown that they fear no challenge. That they can boldly and confidently break new ground, work together, set ambitious goals and reach new heights. Every day, they prove that the sky is the limit.
Our thanks go first and foremost to our clients, without whose trust, fantastic collaboration and positive feedback such an achievement would not have been possible.
