For international clients facing criminal proceedings in Poland, KKZ’s repeated recognition in criminal law and white-collar crime provides a strong indication of the firm’s proven expertise in handling high-stakes and complex criminal matters.

Why does this recognition matter?

The Forbes “Best Law Firms in Poland” ranking is built on recommendations from the legal community and an assessment of the market, which makes it one of the most recognizable and influential listings of law firms in the country.
