Testimonials

- The cooperation with attorney Michał Olszewski was professional in every respect. The group expected very specific solutions, so the task was often difficult to accomplish. The attorney was able to use his knowledge and experience. He was able to explain both the complex legal aspects and the perspective that supervisory authorities or courts may have on a given case in a very clear manner. In many respects, he was also able to convey his knowledge of case law and market practices. In difficult moments, he was also able to exert the right amount of influence on the management board to make the best business decision.
- Depending on the case, B&B worked individually or as a team. This depended on the subject matter itself. In more complex cases that required knowledge and different perspectives, cooperation took place as a team. In addition, each person involved was kept well informed about the status of the case. There was a clear division of tasks, and it was evident that each team member was able to provide the client with comprehensive information about the current situation.
- Our partnership with 2Bs has been consistently exceptional. The team demonstrates deep legal expertise, clear communication, and a genuine commitment to understanding our business needs. They provide timely, practical advice that balances legal precision with commercial insight. Their proactive approach and collaborative spirit have made them a trusted and valued partner.
- We highly value the firm’s professionalism, flexibility, and deep understanding of our organization’s needs. They provided excellent legal support, quickly adapting to our specific context and offering practical, solution-oriented advice. The cooperation was smooth, communication clear, and the pricing model very fair and adapted to our circumstances.
- The lawyers we have worked with, in particular Barbara Klimczak and Karolina Stawicka, stand out for their professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine commitment to understanding our organization’s mission and operational realities. They have provided us with excellent support in employment law, combining strong legal expertise with a pragmatic and empathetic approach, which is especially valuable for a humanitarian organization like ours. We have greatly appreciated their clarity in communication, flexibility, and ability to provide tailored solutions under time pressure.
- The individuals we work with at Bird & Bird truly stand out for their exceptional professionalism, responsiveness, and depth of expertise. What differentiates them from competitors is their ability to combine technical legal excellence with a practical, solutions-oriented mindset. They consistently provide advice that is not only accurate and thorough but also tailored to our business. I’ve particularly valued the team’s accessibility and collaborative approach — they make complex issues easy to navigate and always ensure we feel supported and informed. Elizabeth Lang and Paulina Grotkowska stand out for their strategic thinking and ability to anticipate challenges before they arise, and their proactive attitude adds tremendous value to every engagement. I’ve particularly valued the team’s deep expertise in employment law, where their guidance has been both strategic and pragmatic. They bring a thoughtful understanding of the nuances in employment matters — from compliance and policy development to sensitive employee relations issues — and always balance risk management with a keen awareness of our organizational culture and values.
