Baker McKenzie Krzyzowski i Wspólnicy Sp.k.The private equity department at Baker McKenzie Krzyzowski i Wspólnicy Sp.k., which is lauded for its ‘exceptional knowledge’, is positioned within the firm’s M&A group. It also benefits from the strength of the firm’s tax, capital markets, and banking and finance practices to provide clients with a well-rounded offering, and the international nature of the firm leads to strong cross-border capabilities in the private equity arena. Another area of strength includes advising private equity funds throughout their lifecycle, including advising on tax, structuring, fund establishment, and investment processes, as well as assisting with exits and fund closures. Other areas of expertise include ESG-linked transactions and the establishment of impact investment fund structures. The group is co-led by Filip Uziębło and Tomasz Krzyżowski, who are ably supported by Magdalena Medyńska, another key member of the practice who is praised as a ‘highly-experienced transactional partner’. Łukasz Targoszyński has a notable focus on the food, manufacturing, and consumer goods sectors.
