The importance of business contacts between Germany and Poland has considerably increased in recent years and the trade between entrepreneurs carrying out business activity in both countries is still developing intensively. One cannot overlook numerous investments of German companies in Poland and Polish companies in Germany.
Affairs involving international aspects are increasingly important and must be looked into, on one hand from the perspective of national legal systems of individual parties to business transactions, and, on the other, in the light of regulations applicable in the European Union.
Providing comprehensive legal consultancy to companies involved in cross-border trade requires not only thorough knowledge of legal systems of both countries and languages thereof but also relevant experience, understanding of international business processes and specific nature of the Polish and German market in a given line of business.
