What Chałas I Wspólnicy does

Chałas I Wspólnicy (legal name: Kancelaria Prawna J. Chałas i Wspólnicy sp.k.) is a Warsaw-based full-service commercial law firm operating continuously since 1993 as a Polish limited partnership (spółka komandytowa). It is one of the longest-running independent law firms in Poland, structured around an interdisciplinary practice covering corporate and M&A, capital markets, commercial disputes and arbitration, regulatory compliance, IP, public procurement, environmental law, banking and finance, energy, pharmaceutical and medical law, sports law, press/media law, cybersecurity (including NIS2), and unfair competition. The firm is led by Managing Partner and founder Jarosław Chałas, together with named partners Mikołaj Chałas (digital/advertising law), Renata Chałas (sports law), Adam Zakrzewski (public procurement and sports law), and Małgorzata Kran (energy law), with the firm identified in industry coverage as preparing a generational transition.

The firm serves a predominantly enterprise client base — large corporations, listed companies, financial institutions, public entities, and regulated-sector operators — supplemented by SME and individual entrepreneur clients. Named clients include Ciech, Enea, PGNiG, PSE, Shell Gas, Energa, McDonald's, Kompania Piwowarska, Grupa Żywiec, Johnson & Johnson, Orion Pharma, Fujifilm, Nokia Siemens Networks, Budimex, Mostostal Warszawa, TVP, Warta, Allianz, and Ministerstwo Skarbu Państwa, among others. Revenue is generated through three billing structures: fixed fees for defined deliverables (e.g., contract drafting, due diligence), hourly billing for undefined-scope matters, and monthly retainer packages for comprehensive ongoing legal support. Pricing is set individually based on matter complexity and is not publicly disclosed.

Beyond its core advisory practice, the firm has built a productized portfolio of sub-services: a self-assessment Legal Check-Up covering contracts, GDPR, compliance, administration, and IP; three-tier E-Commerce Legal Packages (Starter, Standard, Rozwój); Family Foundation Advisory targeting Poland's family foundation regime; an Entrepreneur's Guide compliance series; and dedicated Influencer and Social Media Legal Services. The firm has been recognized in Legal 500, named Ambasador Polskiej Gospodarki by Business Centre Club, awarded the Medal Europejski, included in Home & Market's "Top Polish Law Firms" lists, nominated for CHAMPION BIZNESU, and ranked among Universum's Top 10 Ideal Employers in the legal sector. Distribution is relationship-led and direct, supported by a content engine (blog, publications, TV/radio appearances on TVP, TVN CNBC Biznes, Polsat, and Polskie Radio), industry event participation (POWERPOL Energy Congress, UOKiK international conference, University of Warsaw "Prawo – Sport – Finanse 2025"), and an active LinkedIn and Facebook presence.
