White-collar crime

This is an extremely complex and multi-faceted area of legal services, which requires in-depth knowledge of many areas of law and familiarity with economic practices. Our priority is to provide the highest quality of service to our clients in relation to proceedings conducted in their cases – Bartłomiej Pietruszka.

In this practice, we handle complex proceedings, often in areas where business and politics intersect. We have experience allowing us to make an in-depth analysis of the status quo and devise the most effective strategy to defend our clients’ interests. We act effectively in crisis situations, making sure that the image of our clients remains unharmed.
