The quote was reasonable and the final bill landed within the quote. The team was cooperating well. It all sounds trivial, but I have never worked with a law firm that checked all the boxes like DZP.’

Contrary to my experiences with other firms, practically no effort was necessary on my end to manage the process. The team members were scheduling work and coordinating between themselves seamlessly. The drafting and the memos were well-structured and generally I felt that many of my anticipated questions were answered pre-emptively in the accompanying memos.’

‘Having worked with Mr. Wojciech Koczara for more than 10 years during his times at CMS, it was natural that I decided to continue with our cooperation after he switched to DZP this year. I am convinced that with his extensive network of clients, he will be a valuable contribution to the firm.’
