Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • The Real Estate team at Sołtysiński Kawecki & Szlęzak (SKS) provides legal services of very high quality. Their advice is always clear, practical, and well-suited to the business context. The work they deliver is reliable and detailed, and their fees are reasonable compared to other leading firms. What I value most is that the team understands not only the legal side but also the commercial goals of the client. They are responsive, easy to work with, and very well organized, which makes cooperation smooth and efficient. I see SKS as one of the best and most trusted law firms in the Polish real estate market.
  • I would like to highlight Mec. Wyszomirski, whose legal skills and accuracy are well above average. He is able to find the key legal points quickly and always proposes safe and practical solutions. I also appreciate Bartłomiej Dębski for his strong involvement, quick reactions, and professional attitude. He is very committed to the client’s matters and always ready to support the team. Both lawyers stand out for their professionalism, reliability, and strong understanding of how the real estate business works.
