Woźniak Legal

What Woźniak Legal does

Woźniak Legal is an independent, Warsaw-based business law firm founded in 2007 by Grzegorz Woźniak, who spent the preceding 15 years at Allen & Overy Warsaw. The firm employs over 20 lawyers in a single Warsaw headquarters at ul. Śniadeckich 17, delivering a full-service practice covering M&A advisory, corporate and commercial law, real estate, dispute resolution, tax, employment and global mobility, competition and antitrust, compliance and regulatory, fraud and asset tracing, and private client services including wealth planning, inheritance, family governance and immigration. A dedicated Japan Desk serves Japanese investors into Poland, and the firm is the Polish member of the New Circle Legal Network, supporting its roughly 70% international workload.

The firm operates on a traditional professional services model, generating revenue through quoted legal fees on a matter-by-matter basis with no publicly disclosed pricing or volume contracts. Go-to-market is sales-led, relying on senior partner relationships, professional networks, content marketing through a news and insights blog, educational webinars, LinkedIn presence, and participation in International Bar Association and Law Society events. Directory credentials in Chambers HNW (Band 1 in 2017, Band 2 in 2019) and consecutive Legal 500 EMEA Private Client rankings (2024–2026) underpin its positioning with HNW and inbound international clients. Ownership is concentrated with the founding partner; there are no disclosed institutional investors, subsidiaries, or parent entities.
