Flory 9 lok. 4, operating with a 12-person team that combines practicing lawyers (radcowie prawni, adwokaci, aplikanci) with collaborating professors and habilitated doctors of legal sciences. The firm offers more than 30 specialized practice areas organized into five departments: Constitutional and Administrative Law (led by Managing Partner Prof. Marek Chmaj), Commercial/Corporate Law and Energy/Infrastructure Projects (led by Partner Mariusz Bidziński), and Dispute Resolution, Audit, and Interdisciplinary Projects (led by Partner Michał Paprocki). Practice areas span constitutional and administrative litigation, M&A and transactional advisory, energy and infrastructure, banking and finance, capital markets, white-collar and fiscal criminal defense, personal data protection, ESG, intellectual property, and niche verticals including the beauty industry and media law.

The firm's revenue model is professional services — fees are billed on a case-by-case basis tailored to scope and complexity, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Distribution is purely direct via the Warsaw office through phone, email, and website contact form. The go-to-market relies on three channels: (1) academic credibility through scholarly publications and legislative work as permanent expert to Sejm and Senat committees, (2) earned media presence with partners regularly appearing on TVN, Polsat, TVP, Radio ZET, TOK FM, and in Gazeta Prawna and Gazeta Wyborcza, and (3) reputation-based referrals supported by international rankings such as Who's Who Legal. The customer base spans individual clients, SMEs and large corporations across energy, infrastructure, finance, media, healthcare, and technology sectors, plus permanent advisory engagements with state-owned enterprises (SSP) and government bodies. The firm operates nationwide with activities extending beyond Poland's borders.
