"Sołtysiński Kawecki & Szlęzak fields one of Poland’s leading patent teams, combining strategic advisory with strong litigation and arbitration capabilities, and with rights of audience before the Unified Patent Court. The practice is particularly active in biotechnology and pharmaceutical disputes, where technical complexity and regulatory considerations require a coordinated and commercially focused approach. Its work reflects a collaborative style that “combines technical insight with strategic thinking to shape effective IP protection frameworks.”

Szymon Gogulski, senior partner and head of the IP practice, is a seasoned litigator with extensive experience across patent disputes, including biotech matters, as well as unfair competition and trade secrets. He works alongside Marek Oleksyn, who brings over two decades of experience in IP litigation, cross-border disputes and arbitration, and is dual-qualified in Poland and France. Jacek Myszko adds further strength to the team through his leadership of the life sciences practice, advising on regulatory frameworks and licensing of medicinal products and know-how, ensuring alignment between IP strategy and sector-specific requirements. Together, the team offers a well-rounded capability at the intersection of patent law, regulation and dispute resolution, making it a strong choice for complex, innovation-driven mandates."
