PETERKA & PARTNERS

PETERKA PARTNERS has officially launched its new office in Rzeszów – the capital of the Podkarpackie Voivodeship, located in southeastern Poland, near the Polish-Ukrainian border. This new location reflects the firm’s response to the growing needs of clients in the region and its continued ambition for expansion across Central and Eastern Europe. The Rzeszów office is led by experienced Polish legal professionals – attoney-at-law Dagmara Klimek and advocate Dawid Lewicki – both of whom have taken on the role of Director of the Office in Rzeszów. The local team already includes ten members, with further growth planned in line with the firm’s increasing regional activity. The new office will provide comprehensive legal and tax services to both domestic and international clients, supporting them in day-to-day operations as well as in the execution of complex local and cross-border transactions. Opening the Rzeszów office also strengthens the firm’s offering dedicated to Polish businesses – including those operating in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and other countries in the region – as part of its specialized Polish Desk. This service model, based on Polish-language support and cross-border coordination, directly addresses the needs of Polish companies expanding abroad. In Rzeszów, as across Poland, PETERKA PARTNERS also cooperates with local law firms, acting as a subcontractor for legal services across the CEE region. Through this collaboration, local firms gain access to PETERKA PARTNERS' infrastructure both regionally and beyond. The firm’s Polish team advises leading companies from across Central and Eastern Europe – including Polish businesses planning international expansion or already present in foreign markets – as well as multinational corporations. Their advisory covers a broad range of areas including commercial law, mergers and acquisitions, employment law, tax, real estate, insolvency and restructuring, intellectual property, and dispute resolution. The firm is also active in organizations such as Globaladvocaten, Airlines 4 Europe, the Scandinavian-Polish Chamber of Commerce, the Polish-Romanian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Podkarpackie Business Club, and the Regional Chamber of Commerce in Rzeszów.
