Adwokatura Polska

What Adwokatura Polska does

Adwokatura Polska, operating through the Naczelna Rada Adwokacka (NRA), is the supreme statutory self-governing body for advocates (adwokaci) in Poland, established by law and headquartered in Warsaw. The organization regulates the advocate profession, managing admissions, professional ethics, disciplinary proceedings, and continuing education; it operates through 15 regional bar associations that cover all of Poland. Current executive leadership comprises President Przemysław Rosati, Vice-Presidents Bartosz Tiutiunik and Jacek Trela, Secretary Anisa Gnacikowska, and Treasurer Ewa Gregajtys.

The NRA's product surface includes digital infrastructure for members (Cyfrowa Kancelaria for case management, e-SOA 2.0 for online training, and the KRAiAA national registry of advocates) and public-facing programs such as the Bajeczni Adwokaci legal-literacy initiative, executed in exclusive partnership with Wolters Kluwer and reaching roughly 120,000 children, the Instytut LegalTech, the Centrum Mediacji for alternative dispute resolution, and the ODWAZNI project for the deaf community. It holds membership in CCBE, IBA, and UIA.

The funding model is non-commercial: revenue is derived from mandatory membership dues paid by Polish advocates, plus training and exam fees and publications. There are no disclosed pricing tiers, commercial customers, or sales channels; the "go-to-market" is regulatory mandate rather than market competition.
