‘The DZP team offers a good answer to the new situations we have everyday. Good connection between different departments that allows them to find the best solution.’
‘What, in my opinion, distinguishes the practice: a broad analysis of problems, verification of various aspects, an attempt to understand the arguments of all interested entities and, based on this understanding, preparation of an optimal strategy for the client.'
'Use the support of professional entities in order to obtain solid expert studies on specific topics (e.g. construction), which constitute the core of the law firm's advice, supported by legal provisions in order to protect the client's interests.’
‘I had the pleasure of working with attorney Tomasz Darowski and Kamil Pociecha. Both are distinguished by a high level of professionalism which is reflected in: extensive knowledge of the topics in which they specialise, high level of personal culture, self-control, effective combination of legal and technical aspects.’
