The Heart Legal

What The Heart Legal does

The Heart Legal (legal entity: TH LEGAL JKOZIOŁ spółka komandytowa) is a Polish boutique law firm operating at the intersection of law and technology. The firm employs approximately 7 people and is headquartered in Warsaw at Rondo Daszyńskiego 1, with a secondary office in Kraków. It is led by Managing Partner Jakub Kozioł and Of Counsel Karolina Krawczyk.

The firm's service portfolio is organized into six integrated practice areas: comprehensive legal advisory (delivered on a subscription basis), new technology law with an emphasis on intellectual property, compliance and RODO/GDPR and cybersecurity, transaction support for investments, tax consulting, and real estate legal services. The underlying "technology" is human expertise rather than a software platform; no proprietary technology, APIs, or AI capabilities are disclosed.

Commercially, the firm runs a dual revenue model. The subscription stream provides ongoing, multi-workstream legal counsel to retain clients, while a professional services stream covers discrete engagements such as company formation, due diligence, IP protection, and tax advisory. Go-to-market is direct: clients engage via the firm website, email ([email protected]), or phone, with no intermediaries. The firm targets four segments — technology companies and startups (primary), corporations building innovation, VC funds and investors, and dynamically growing enterprises — all within the Polish market, with English-language site support for cross-border clients.
