The law firm of Sołtysiński Kawecki & Szlęzak was formed in June 1991, at a time when, following Poland's transition to democracy and a free market economy, a free legal services market arose geared to providing legal assistance regarding ownership transformations, and new national and foreign investments. The formation of the law firm and its continued growth have been due, to a significant degree, to its founders' assumptions as regards the directions in which the Polish legal services market would develop in the new economic reality. These assumptions proved accurate and SK&S is currently one of the leading law firms in Poland. In January 1997 SK&S opened its branch office in Poznań, which has significantly enhanced our ability to serve Clients along the whole Polish-German border. In January 1999 a branch office was opened in Katowice (Silesia). The Katowice Office has enabled us to more effectively assist Clients in Upper Silesia and the Kraków area. In 2006 our branch office in Wrocław was opened. While most of the cross-border transactional work is conducted by our main office in Warsaw, the three branch offices allow us to provide quality, cost-efficient general cousel services to our Clients in Western and Southern Poland.
