What WBKS Business Law Wocka Borecki Kołecka Stęc does

WBKS Business Law Wocka Borecki Kołecka Stęc is a Polish boutique business law firm headquartered in Opole, operating as a partnership (S.K.A.) under the management of four partners: Marek Wocka (Managing Partner), Marcin Borecki, Jagoda Komenda-Kołecka, and Krzysztof Stęc. The firm traces its lineage to 1994 (as Meissner & Partnerzy) and was rebranded to WBKS in 2022 alongside a move to modern offices at ul. Ozimska 77/4. It employs approximately 8-10 professionals including partners, attorneys, trainee attorneys, and an office manager.

The firm delivers full-service legal advisory across nine practice areas: HoReCa industry legal services (a primary vertical specialization), corporate law, M&A and transformations, tax advisory, contract negotiation and drafting, labor law and HR, court dispute representation, data protection (RODO/GDPR), and real estate. Services are delivered in Polish, English, and German, and the firm serves clients across 22+ countries, advising both Polish and foreign entrepreneurs on company formation, cross-border transactions, regulatory compliance, and ongoing corporate matters. The technology stack consists of standard legal-practice software and communication tools with no disclosed proprietary technology or AI/automation capabilities.

The revenue model is professional-services based: fees are typically hourly, fixed per matter, or project-based, with no public pricing disclosure. Distribution is direct via the Opole office with both in-person and remote consultations. Marketing channels include the firm's multilingual website, an active LinkedIn presence, and educational legal publications. The firm is partner-owned with no external investors or parent company, and operates as a self-described "general nationwide firm based in Opole" leveraging nearly three decades of brand reputation and HoReCa-sector expertise to attract and retain SME and mid-market clients.
