‘Good communication.'
‘Engagement and professional approach. Hands-on team.’
‘I've been working with DLA Warsaw's PE team for several years now, and I choose them for bigger deals. They have great market knowledge and despite my own years of experience, I have learnt from them quite a bit, in particular in the scope of current market practices and novelties.'
'I appreciate their great service. I believe DLA's PE team in Warsaw is one of the top in the business.’
‘I know there are a few prominent youngsters in their team, which gives us extra composure in negotiations, but in general I always rely on Rafał Kluziak - I'd recommend him to anyone making PE deals in Poland, hands down.'
'Rafał Kluziak can always deliver, no matter how hard our expectations are.'
