- I worked with Jerzy Bąbczyński, who stands out as a highly experienced and open-minded investment funds lawyer. He combines deep knowledge of the Polish capital markets and fund structures with a clear understanding of European frameworks, which enables him to navigate complex, multi-stakeholder projects with confidence and precision. Jerzy is both genuinely professional and approachable — someone you can rely on to balance legal excellence with practical, solution-oriented thinking and strong interpersonal skills.
- The Baker McKenzie team demonstrates exceptional expertise in navigating new regulatory frameworks — for example, in the area of exchange-traded funds (ETFs), where very few firms in Poland have real experience. They approached this emerging segment with impressive confidence and precision, combining their established strengths in capital markets and investment funds law. This unique combination of competencies has allowed them to provide high-quality, forward-looking advice on the structuring and regulatory aspects of new investment products introduced in the Polish market.
