A&O Shearman
Client Satisfaction
A&O Shearman‘s team has many accolades to its name, and is praised by one client as, ’without a doubt, Poland’s number one competition and antitrust practice’. The offering encompasses advice across the entire gamut of Polish and EU antitrust law on both the contentious and advisory side. As it sits within the firm’s US and European antitrust group, it is also well situated to support clients on matters with cross-border elements. Practice head Marta Sendrowicz ‘is single-handedly the best Polish antitrust lawyer’, and she is ably supported by senior associate Olga Wiśniewska-Łukasiuk, who is active in merger and antitrust proceedings before the Polish Competition Authority and the European Commission.
