Legal 500 Editorial commentary

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘The company has a team with a very wide range of specialisms. Since our company has its own legal department, we usually refer requests to DZP on complex matters and have not yet encountered a situation in which the law firm was unable to help us. DZP's team is very stable, which is an advantage as it does not require us to present the company's situation every time.'

  • ‘The person with whom we cooperate most is legal adviser Michał Cecerko. As we have been working together for many years, Mr Cecerko is very familiar with the company's situation. As a result, he always takes into account the specifics of the company's operations, its current situation, but also pays attention to historical events and previous cooperation, so his involvement goes beyond mere legal advice.'

  • 'Michał Cecerko draws the company's attention on his own initiative to significant events or legal changes that may affect the company's operations.’

  • ‘DZP's restructuring and insolvency team is well-known for its detail-oriented approach and ability to stay focused even in very challenging environments.’

  • ‘We would like to praise Michał Cecerko, who is easy to access and always very open. Also worth mentioning is support from Damian Cieśla.’

  • ‘Professionalism, good experience.'
  • ‘Michał Cecerko is recommended.'
