What Maruta Wachta does

Rymarz Zdort Maruta (operating under the legal name "Rymarz, Zdort, Maruta, Wachta, Gasiński, Her i Wspólnicy sp.k.") is a Polish independent law firm headquartered in Warsaw at ul. Prosta 18, 00-850 Warszawa. The entity was formed through the merger of two previously separate firms — Rymarz Zdort, a leader in transactional practice, and Maruta Wachta, a pioneer in technology transformation legal advisory. The firm claims the #1 position among legal advisors in Poland in mergers and acquisitions and new technology law, supported by 35+ years of combined experience on the Polish and international markets and 100+ individual and corporate distinctions in Polish and international legal rankings. In the 2026 cycle, Chambers Europe recognized 14 practice areas and 19 lawyers, Legal 500 EMEA ranked the firm among market leaders, Rzeczpospolita placed it among the top-ranked Polish firms, and MergerLinks ranked two partners in the Top 10 M&A Lawyers in CEE.

The firm operates a full-service legal platform spanning 30+ practice areas organized into broad groups: transactional work (Corporate/M&A, Private Equity, Banking & Finance, Debt and Equity Capital Markets, Infrastructure, Real Estate, Restructuring & Insolvency); technology and regulation (AI & Data, Cybersecurity, FinTech & ICT Regulations, IT Contracts, Privacy & Data Protection, E-commerce & Digital Marketing); regulatory and compliance (Competition/Antitrust, Financial Regulatory, ESG, Environmental Law, Public Procurement, White-Collar Crime, Compliance and Forensic); and dispute resolution (Litigation/Arbitration), along with specialized verticals (Life Sciences, Energy & Natural Resources, Video Games & Entertainment, Intellectual Property, Employment, Tax, Private Clients). Recent public deals include advising Pepco Group on the sale of Dealz Poland, advising Wirtualna Polska Holding founders on a 100% tender offer, advising Stonepeak and Energy Equation Partners on the acquisition of Anwim S.A., advising ZDROWIT on PLN 400 million financing, advising mBank on EUR 22 million acquisition financing to Accolade and Conseq, and advising on a USD 6 billion treasury bond issuance.

The firm's business model is that of a partner-managed limited partnership (spółka komandytowa) operating as an enterprise-focused legal services platform. Revenue mechanics are typical of professional services firms: partner-led client engagement, engagement-based or hourly billing (pricing not publicly disclosed), and demand driven by complex corporate transactions, regulatory matters, and high-stakes disputes. The firm has 51-100 employees, indicating a mid-sized top-tier Polish practice rather than a global mega-firm. No external parent, private equity sponsor, or venture capital backing is indicated; ownership and governance sit with the partnership. The firm maintains French and Ukrainian Desks alongside its English/Polish operations, suggesting a deliberate cross-border posture within CEE and Europe, and co-organizes events such as the Legal & Business Summit at the Digital Dragons Conference. The firm is privately held and operating.
