PFR Financial Shield 2.0: key issues and concerns after receiving subsidies – Webinar
9 July 2025 • Autor: Kancelaria Brysiewicz Bokina i Wspólnicy
On 23 April this year at 10.00 a.m., we invite you to participate in the webinar: “PFR 2.0 Financial Shield: key issues and doubts after receiving subsidies”. The training within the framework of the Lewiatan e-Academy will be conducted by Krzysztof Brysiewicz, legal counsel, managing partner, Dr Magdalena Porzeżyńska, legal counsel, partner of the law firm, and Małgorzata Woźniak, trainee lawyer.
In January, PFR launched Financial Shield 2.0 for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). By 26 February 2021, almost 50,000 entrepreneurs had benefited from the programme. The rules of support for entrepreneurs have changed significantly compared to Shield 1.0, and therefore many issues concerning the spending and accounting of subsidies may still be unclear. Experts from the Brysiewicz, Bokina, Sakławski and Partners law firm’s EU Funds and State Aid practice will talk about the most common doubts and problems of beneficiaries after obtaining subsidies.
The training will discuss, among other things, the conditions of participation in the programme, mistakes made at the stage of applying for the subsidy, which may result in the necessity to return the funds, and the key principles of spending the funds under the Shield. The experts will also present the scope and course of control over the disbursement of funds provided by the PFR and will advise on how to proceed in practice in the event of a risk or allegation that a subsidy has been wrongly collected. The experts will explain what the consequences of a beneficiary’s breach of the restrictions adopted in connection with the coronavirus pandemic may be, in particular whether they may be grounds for repayment of funds.
