JDP Drapala & Partners

JDP Drapala & Partners remains a key port of call for general contractors, subcontractors and investors for advice on matters ranging from the implementation of complex construction to the handling of infrastructure investment projects. The practice is also cited for its ‘exceptional litigation team', which displays expertise managing such contentious matters as claims for delays in construction site handovers, faulty design documentation and disputes involving liquidated damages. The practice is led by two partners experienced in complex, cross-border litigation and arbitration: Przemysław Drapała, who provides construction and infrastructure advice to clients in manufacturing and tech, and Andrzej Sokołowski, who handles such projects as expressways, railways, sports facilities and logistics centres.
