Lexology Client Choice 2026 – Global Recognition for Advocate Maciej Zaborowski

Advocate Maciej Zaborowski, Managing Partner of Kopeć & Zaborowski (KKZ), was honored in 2026 with the prestigious Client Choice award in the Business Crime Defence category.

The award was presented as part of the program conducted by Lexology Index (formerly Who’s Who Legal) and is granted to only approximately 20 experts worldwide in each category.

The Client Choice program, established by Lexology in 2005, recognizes lawyers and law firms that distinguish themselves through outstanding client service and their ability to deliver genuine business value. It is one of the most distinctive recognitions in the legal market because:

• candidates can be nominated exclusively by corporate clients (in-house counsel);
• law firms have no influence over the nomination process;
• the assessment is based on clients’ actual experience of working with the lawyer or firm.

The program is based on extensive research that includes:

• surveys among in-house lawyers worldwide;
• feedback collected during international industry events;
• a detailed assessment of service quality based on multiple criteria.

Clients assess, among other factors:

• quality of legal advice and strategic approach;
• understanding of the client’s business and industry;
• communication, responsiveness, and transparency;
• value for money and billing transparency;
• ethics, trust, and organization of work.

The recognition of Maciej Zaborowski in the Business Crime Defence category confirms his position as one of the leading experts in white-collar and business crime law on the international legal market.

In particular, the award reflects:

• effectiveness in handling complex criminal cases and economic crime investigations;
• experience working with corporate and international clients;
• the ability to deliver solutions that provide genuine business value;
• the highest standards of client service and communication.

What Does This Mean for Clients?

The Client Choice award is particularly significant because it is granted exclusively on the basis of client feedback, without law firm submissions or marketing activities influencing the process.

The Client Choice recognition in the Business Crime Defence category is especially important for KKZ, as it confirms the firm’s expert position in business crime law from the perspective of its corporate clients themselves. The award demonstrates that KKZ’s experience in handling complex criminal cases and economic crime investigations translates not only into the highest level of legal expertise, but also into tangible value and business security for its clients.

For clients, this means that Kopeć & Zaborowski:

• is a law firm recommended directly by corporate clients;
• provides the highest standards of service and communication;
• understands the business context of the matters it handles;
• delivers solutions that go beyond standard legal assistance.

For the firm, this recognition confirms that its approach — based on partnership, trust, and delivering genuine value to clients — is recognized on the international market.

The recognition by Lexology Index confirms that Kopeć & Zaborowski operates in accordance with the highest global standards and that its leaders belong to the select group of experts recommended by clients around the world.
