Linke Kulicki Law Firm

What Linke Kulicki Law Firm does

Linke Kulicki is a Warsaw-based Polish law firm founded in 2013 that provides legal services to SMEs, technology startups, venture capital funds, NGOs, and individual clients, with a stated specialization in new technology law alongside corporate, M&A, investment, and tax advisory. The firm operates through a partnership (spółka partnerska) of radcowie prawni (legal counselors) and, effective February 1, 2025, split into two operational entities: Kancelaria Radców Prawnych Linke i Partnerzy sp. p. (continuing the general business and investment law practice) and After Legal Kancelaria Radcy Prawnego Łukasz Kulicki (a dedicated IT and technology law practice).

The firm's service portfolio spans company law, investment agreements, M&A and due diligence, tax advisory (including Estonian CIT and IP Box), public procurement, payment institution and crypto-asset licensing (MiCA/CASP), NGO governance, and a deep set of IT-specific practice lines (software houses, SaaS, GameDev, IT integrators, IT contracts). Core technology is limited to standard legal-services infrastructure (DHOSTING hosting, MAILERLITE for email), with no proprietary platforms or AI tooling disclosed; the firm's primary differentiator is a network of eight specialized legal blogs (umowywit.pl, poland.vc, kryptoregulacje.pl, etc.) that function as both thought-leadership assets and organic SEO lead-generation channels.

Revenue is generated through professional services billed via five pricing models: hourly (~400 PLN net/h, ~$100), fixed/project fee, monthly retainer (300 PLN/h bundled hours), capped hourly, and phased court case fees. Clients are acquired through content-driven inbound and professional network referrals, with the firm operating from a single Warsaw office (ul. Ogrodowa 31/lok. 54) while serving cross-border clients in Polish, English, and Ukrainian. No revenue, headcount, or external capital is disclosed.
