Forbes Diamonds – when the figures tell a success story
Forbes Diamonds are companies that not only dynamically increase their value, but also courageously overcome challenges, boldly embrace innovation and continuously invest in their own development. That is why they compete successfully with global players. And they change the world for the better.
We are one such company – a Forbes Diamond. In fact, we have both a high growth rate and a coherent, consistently executed business strategy that delivers ‘hard’ results, but also effectively changes the world around us, making it greener, more accessible and more open. But we are not resting on our laurels!
Kochański & Partners 2024 – positive business performance and sustainable development
Over the past year, we have reached several important milestones that mark the path and direction we are consistently following:
✅ We have been on the market for over 25 years
✅ Our revenue last year exceeded PLN 100 million
✅ New Partners have joined us, we have new desks and practices, and we have further strengthened our presence in the regions
✅ We completed almost 40 ESG and CSR projects
✅ We have won the most important awards and recognitions in the market, including: The Lawyer European Awards for European Litigation Team of the Year 2024, recommendations in the top rankings of Chambers Global, Chambers Europe and Chambers FinTech, The Legal 500, IFRL 1000, ITR Word Tax, WTR 1000, IP STARS, Media Law International, Rzeczpospolita, Baltic Sea Region Real Estate Awards for Law Firm of the Year, and the title of Business Gazelle
✅ We passed the UN Global Compact audit, received another EcoVadis silver medal, and were the first Polish law firm to join the Green Arbitration Pledge and Women’s Empowerment Principles
✅ Finally, we were invited to join the elite group of Forbes Diamonds
And this is just the beginning of a long list of accomplishments, which would be impossible to achieve without a clearly defined strategy and precise business objectives.
Kochański & Partners – a well-planned, stable and sustainable business based on robust financial performance and ESG
We started out in a very different economic, political, financial and technological reality. Facing completely different challenges and fears, observing a completely different world. But with a deep belief in the power of science and the power of authority. Younger and with a very different appetite for life and success.
Twenty-five years of breaking through in business, forging new paths and roads, and discovering more potentials have taught us many things, but also reinforced our conviction that we must never lose sight of what is important.
We have always adhered to these principles. And for 25 years we have built our strength on four pillars:
- Innovation, which we have written into our DNA, because we believe that innovation and technology will be an important source of our competitive advantage. That is why for years we have been developing iRaaport, our own ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) IT system for law firm management
- ESG and responsibility for sustainable business and equal rights. And this is why we are active in initiatives such as the United Nations Global Compact, the Diversity Charter, the Green Arbitration Pledge, and Women’s Empowerment Principles
- Relationships and international contacts that allow us to be part of strategic global projects together with our Clients
- Proactivity and a commitment to always reach higher and to know more. About business, economics, the economy, politics, global trends and everything that can affect our Clients’ businesses
The effects?
Growing revenues that broke the magic barrier of PLN 100 million and an EBITDA of PLN 19.68 million (with a margin of almost 20%), the title of one of the most dynamic Polish companies of 2024 and a Forbes Diamond.
We invariably focus on five powerful areas: technology, global infrastructure, energy transition, cross-border financing and real estate.
This year we have seriously revamped and strengthened our Litigation Practice, implementing the “Litigation by Sectors: Kochański & Partners Perspective” project and showcased our extensive litigation expertise in shareholder disputes, energy, pharmaceuticals, trade and logistics, infrastructure and environment, real estate, technology, tax and financial services, among others.
The energy transition will be a gigantic driving force in the coming years, and we are well prepared for it. Organisationally, conceptually and in terms of expertise. We have a well-structured Infrastructure, Energy, Environment and ESG Practice Group and Nuclear Energy Practice, clearly defined priorities, international contacts and a huge appetite for global projects with our Clients.
Another economic driver will be the pharmaceutical industry in the broadest sense. Biomedicine and biotechnology today have enormous potential and room for growth. Breakthrough therapies and cutting-edge medicines, new technologies and innovative diagnostics are tangible benefits for entire societies and further flywheels for business. We want to create and implement effective solutions that will have the potential to help innovation flourish. One of the ways we do this is through a modernly organised and managed Pharmaceutical and Life Sciences Practice.
We are ready for the future, says Piotr Kochański.
We don’t want to be just another law firm that merely reacts to what’s happening in the market and in our clients’ businesses. We are people who know that real growth goes far beyond what you see in the financial statements. We have the courage to ask the uncomfortable questions, the willingness to push boundaries, and a relentless curiosity about the world.
This is why I believe our ‘diamond’ value lies not so much in the figures, but in the energy that drives us, in the projects that change reality, and in the extraordinary people who prove every day that boundaries are made to be crossed, adds our Managing Partner.
