Legal 500 Editorial commentary
Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- I worked with DZP on some projects for common clients, and my experience with the DZP public procurement team was very good. They were very responsive and dedicated to the projects, knowing very well the clients' needs and the specifics of Polish legal practice. I also noticed that the clients appreciated working with the DZP team and their professionalism. We cannot comment on fees and bills (questions below), as we worked together for the common clients, but they did not bill our law firm for the relevant legal services; instead, the client was billed directly.
- I worked the most with Katarzyna Kuzma, a partner, and with her team, including Tomasz Michalczyk. They were very professional, very responsive, and knowledgeable in respect to their market specificities and relevant jurisprudence.
- ‘What makes this practice unique is its combination of deep sector expertise, client-centered collaboration, and a forward-thinking approach to problem-solving.’
- ‘The individuals I work with stand out for their combination of technical excellence, commercial understanding, and genuine commitment to client success.’
