The firm operates as a multi-specialty practice organized around two anchor verticals — IT / technology companies and construction / infrastructure — with additional service lines covering corporate and M&A advisory, tax (including IP Box, R&D and 50% copyright reliefs), debt management and restructuring, compliance/AML and RODO/GDPR. It serves mid-market and enterprise clients including software houses (Netguru, SoftwareMill, STX Next, FIBARO), construction majors, automotive distributors, fuel sector players and cross-border e-commerce platforms, with selective cross-border deal experience such as the EUR 54M PrestaShop / Sylius / BitBag / cyber_Folks transaction.

The firm delivers services via hourly, project-fee and retainer arrangements, differentiating through an "agile legal project management" methodology (cloud document management, project, time-tracking, communication and feedback tooling) and through an award-winning RPA-based debt-collection process. It supplements legal advice with an in-house legal-engineering capability (lawyers plus construction engineers and cost estimators) for FIDIC contracts, public procurement/KIO disputes, developer work and renewable energy projects.

DSK is privately held as a Polish limited partnership with no parent, no external funding and no public financials; revenue is not disclosed. Its stated headcount on the company homepage is 25 professionals. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, supported by thought leadership (M&A in IT in Poland report, blog, newsletter), Top Clutch Companies recognition, Rzeczpospolita law firm rankings and conference partnerships such as Kongres Intermodal in Poland 2026.
