Rymarz Zdort Maruta

What Rymarz Zdort Maruta does

Rymarz Zdort Maruta is an independent Polish law firm headquartered in Warsaw, formed in 2020 through the merger of Rymarz Zdort (a transactional-practice leader spun out of Weil, Gotshal & Manges) and Maruta Wachta (a pioneer in technology transformation law). The firm operates across more than 28 practice areas, with core strengths in Corporate/M&A, Banking & Finance, Equity and Debt Capital Markets, Energy & Natural Resources, Real Estate, Litigation/Arbitration, Private Equity, and Restructuring & Insolvency, alongside newer technology-regulation practices in AI & Data, Cybersecurity, FinTech & ICT, Privacy & Data Protection, ESG, and Video Games. It maintains specialized service units (Ukrainian Desk and French Desk) to handle cross-border mandates involving Ukrainian, French, and Polish counterparties.

The firm serves large corporates, financial institutions, private equity funds, and energy/infrastructure clients on the most significant transactions in the Polish market. Disclosed mandates include the USD 6 billion Polish treasury bond issuance (with Latham & Watkins), the EUR 2 billion BC Wind offshore wind farm financing (with Orrick), the Murapol IPO on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (PLN 1.35 billion valuation), the VeloBank-Cerberus acquisition of Citi Handlowy's consumer business, the Stonepeak-Anwim S.A. acquisition, and numerous other transactions across banking, TMT, real estate, and energy. Its technology posture is that of an advisory firm: there is no proprietary AI/ML product or platform, and AI is treated as a regulated subject matter within its technology and financial regulatory practices.

Revenue is generated entirely through professional fees on partner-led engagements, with no published pricing and no subscription, product, or platform revenue streams. The firm operates as a Spółka Komandytowa (limited partnership) owned by its equity partners, with no external investors or parent company. Go-to-market is relationship-driven, anchored in league-table rankings, referral networks, and recurring co-counsel arrangements with international firms. The partnership has expanded materially since 2020, and the firm is recognized as #1 in Poland in M&A and new technology law with 100+ distinctions across Polish and international rankings.
