Rö Radwan-Röhrenschef Petruczenko

The firm: Rö is a multi-disciplinary law firm operating since 2010. We have gained recognition by resolving disputes. We have established strong practices that offer comprehensive advisory services in the area of infrastructural investments and claim management. We have a high level of competence and experience in mergers and acquisitions, and in matters related to construction, public procurement, banking or environmental law.

Our team is composed of experienced lawyers with attorney-at-law or legal advisor qualifications to guarantee that the clients are provided with top quality services.

Our clients and peers respect our professionalism and absolute dedication to clients’ interests. They appreciate the fact that they obtain the best value.

The efficiency of services provided by Rö has been consistently recognized in numerous Polish and international rankings, including The Legal 500 EMEA (Band 3 in construction), Chambers and the Ranking of Polish Law Firms by the renowned Rzeczpospolita daily. This year, the latter has recommended us in several categories, including in particular construction disputes, public procurement, dispute resolution and arbitration, litigation, but also mergers and acquisitions, banking law, environment protection, white-collar crimes, real estates and new technologies.

Practice areas
Dispute resolution, arbitration and international arbitration: Rö lawyers excel at handling complex commercial litigation mandates involving global household-name companies where there is a lot at stake for the parties involved, either monetarily or reputationally. We are highly experienced in representing multinational companies in challenging arbitration matters. We provide solid out-of-court advice to our clients via effective negotiations with the other sides and aim to steer matters towards an amicable resolution whenever reasonable. However, when litigation looks to be the best course of action, we prepare effective strategies for our clients and take steps to mitigate their risks already prior to the court proceedings.

Construction: Sylwia Zielezińska leads the team that handles complex infrastructural and construction disputes involving global household-name companies. Our team represents clients in different sectors, including railway, motorway, industry and energy, civil engineering, design and engineering and technology. The variety of the work handled by the practice underlines the team’s top expertise and renown in Poland.

The year 2022 brought further expansion of the construction department by entering into close cooperation with a law firm based in Rzeszów (a Polish city located near Ukrainian border) – an associated office, dedicated to projects located in the area of south-east Poland. In 2023 we opened a fully operating branch in Rzeszów.
