What Trans Lawyers does

Trans Lawyers is a Polish boutique law firm founded in 2023 and headquartered in Wrocław, operating as a sole proprietorship owned by founder Ewa Sławińska-Ziaja. The firm is purpose-built around the Transport, Spedition and Logistics (TSL) sector, providing legal services across road, air, sea, intermodal, and container transport. Its core offerings include legal representation in dispute and debt-recovery proceedings, CMR Convention claims, contract drafting, transport licensing and permits, regulatory compliance advisory (including the EU Mobility Package), intellectual property and new-technology law, company formation, and international legal assistance across at least nine European jurisdictions (Poland, Germany, France, Italy, UK, Spain, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia). The firm further monetizes its expertise through training programs, legal audits, and a knowledge-based content platform (Baza Wiedzy, Słownik Prawniczy, blog, newsletter).

The firm operates a hybrid revenue model with three distinct streams: hourly billing at 450 PLN net per started hour (with single consultations at 350 PLN), tiered monthly subscription packages (Na Start at 5 hours, Optymalny at 10 hours, Zaawansowany at 20 hours, billed quarterly), and a performance-based success fee equal to 10% of case value for successful litigation outcomes. Its go-to-market is sales-led, combining direct outreach, professional referrals, industry networking, and content-driven inbound marketing targeted at transport company owners and dispatchers. The team consists of approximately six legal professionals, including qualified radca prawny (legal counsel), lawyers, legal trainees, and a paralegal assistant, all specialized in transport law. The firm has no external funding, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed technology platform beyond its public-facing website and content properties.
