Kancelaria Rąpała

What Kancelaria Rąpała does

Kancelaria Rąpała is a privately held Polish boutique law firm (legal name: Kancelaria Krzysztof Rąpała Kancelaria Radcowska) founded in 2017 and led by legal counsel Krzysztof Rąpała. The firm delivers comprehensive legal advisory services to commercial companies, individual entrepreneurs, startups, and investment funds, with a stated specialization in transactional advisory for M&A processes, corporate law, and real estate market law, complemented by representation in court and arbitration proceedings. Its principal engagements are project-based mandates executed by a small team (11-50 employees) operating from a registered office in Luborzyca and a branch in Warsaw, Poland.

The firm's core services — Doradztwo transakcyjne (M&A), Prawo korporacyjne (corporate law), Prawo rynku nieruchomości (real estate market law), and representation in court and arbitration — are delivered as professional services without a proprietary technology platform. Publicly disclosed mandates include the sale of a commercial building at Marsa Street in Warsaw to Leroy Merlin (January 2022), one of the largest 2021 super-premium private recreational real estate transactions in Poland, a 2.1M euro seed financing for Wrocław-based document processing startup Alphamoon (June 2022), a Bluerank investment in GDPR Risk Tracker (August 2022), and a 1.5M USD Series A by AVIVO Capital in Aether Biomedical (February 2024). The firm has also supported Omni Running and RESQL on early-stage investor processes (February 2024), and founder Krzysztof Rąpała was appointed to the Football Arbitration Court of the Polish Football Association (PZPN) in October 2025.

Revenue is generated from professional legal services fees (revenue model: professional services) with pricing not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales via direct client engagement, supported by a bilingual Polish/English website used as a content and references channel rather than as a sales platform. The firm holds no disclosed patents, has no external institutional ownership, and operates with no disclosed parent company; ownership commentary indicates founder-controlled private practice with no disclosed equity structure.
