Global reach, European quality and Polish entrepreneurship – this is why we are in Chambers Europe 2025
Every year, the Chambers and Partners team analyses hundreds of thousands of cases handled by European law firms and talks to their clients, in search of outstanding talent, excellent practice and success stories. The result of this work is a compilation of the best professionals in specific areas of law.
As a result, Chambers Europe is one of the most authoritative sources of information on legal services. It is an important benchmark for the market as a whole, both for companies seeking the support of specialists and for the law firms themselves, who see high rankings as confirmation of the quality of their services.
We are therefore all the more pleased with this year’s results and recommendations – for our Litigation, Corporate Law and M&A practices, as well as the individual recommendation for Jakub Krysa, who is responsible for public procurement. They show that we are on the right track.
The formula for success – agility, quality and expertise plus mission
Businesses in all sectors can count on our help in resolving disputes. In fact, we have opted for a model in which the representation of clients in litigation is a strong competence of each practice, as well as part of its strategic advisory.
We know that we have experienced specialists with industry-specific expertise in areas such as corporate and shareholder issues, labour law, intellectual property, regulatory, energy, pharmaceuticals, trade and logistics, infrastructure and environment, real estate, technology, tax and financial services. And that is a decisive advantage in any dispute.
But that’s not all: the team of Piotr Kochański, Witold Głuchowski and Mateusz Ostrowski has also successfully fought – and not only in court – for the independence of the media and freedom of speech in Poland, which is particularly relevant today. In the struggle between publishers and journalists, on the one hand, and politicians or corporations who want to silence them, on the other, we always stand up for the truth, free and open debate and transparency that allow European democracies to thrive despite the pressures of populism and fascism.
What do the authors of the ranking say about us?
Kochanski & Partners team acts on investment litigation and post-restructuring disputes, in addition to dealing with a variety of matters relating to contracts. The team also handles regulatory litigation cases. The team’s clients originate from many sectors, including banking, manufacturing and transportation.
The team has extensive knowledge, authority, experience and reputation.

Speaking the language of business and thinking outside the box
We are equally strong in mergers and acquisitions, especially when it comes to technology companies and private equity investments. The team led by Rafał Rapala, Paweł Cholewiński and Natalia Kotłowska-Wochna skilfully combines expertise, experience and unconventional solutions with knowledge of the latest developments in the market for new technologies and the requirements for protecting intellectual property and intangible assets. M&A transactions in the technology sector present unique challenges that go far beyond the standard.
And this is something that the Chambers researchers emphasise:
Kochański & Partners’ corporate/M&A team offers advice on a broad range of transactions, regularly acting on mid-cap investment transactions, share deals and corporate governance. The lawyers advise a roster of domestic and international clients, including corporates, technology companies, private equity funds and listed entities.
The lawyers bring above market standards; they are pretty efficient in negotiations and able to find solutions. They are very client-oriented.
The team stands out for availability, good communication, speed of response and the capacity to adapt legal advice to our needs and business specifics.
Kochański & Partners lawyers are characterised by total commitment and the enormous capacity to listen and analyse problems.
Effective M&A legal services for newtech companies operating via hybrid business models and in a dynamically changing regulatory, technological and competitive environment require lawyers to be highly interdisciplinary, able to think in business terms and to navigate skilfully between these areas. Sector-specific experience, a willingness to learn and a talent for seeing the big picture in the complexities of technology acquisitions are certainly helpful here.
Speaking of talent, we have an individual recommendation for Jakub Krysa, who is responsible for public procurement.

Public procurement in (not only) the technology sector
Jakub Krysa’s team represents clients in the largest IT tenders, advising entities such as public institutions on strategic decisions and guiding them through complex procedures. These are multimillion-zloty transactions that require not only proficiency in navigating national and EU regulations and the ability to interpret them and design optimal procedural paths, but also an open mind and a broad perspective. Only this approach allows the interdisciplinary combination of knowledge from different fields and an understanding of increasingly advanced technologies.
Jakub Krysa is a best practitioner and a skilled negotiator, always ready to react quickly to changing circumstances. This is confirmed by independent and very demanding sources.
Chambers Europe 2025 – our clients are always in mind
The recognition in the Chambers Europe 2025 ranking would not have been possible without the trust, fantastic cooperation and positive feedback from our clients, whose challenges and successes motivate us to constantly raise the bar. Our sincere thanks to you all!
