What JDP does

JDP Drapała Chomiuk & Partners Sp. k. is an independent Polish commercial law firm headquartered in Warsaw, founded in 2005 and operating with 51-100 employees across offices in at least eight Polish cities (Warsaw, Wrocław, Poznań, Kraków, Katowice, Łódź, Lublin, Toruń). The firm delivers advisory services across 20 practice areas — including litigation and arbitration, infrastructure and construction, M&A and corporate law, real estate, tax, employment, compliance, ESG, energy and renewables, white collar crime, IP/IT, and defense — mapped to 15 regulated industry verticals such as automotive, telecommunications, FMCG, MedTech, IT, and real estate.

The firm's revenue model is professional services fee-for-service legal advisory, predominantly on an hourly or fixed-fee basis typical of law firms, with no publicly disclosed pricing. The go-to-market motion is partner-led direct sales to enterprise and government clients, supplemented by a thought-leadership and content marketing program (Piątki z roszczeniami webinar series, ESG newsletter, YouTube channel, LinkedIn presence). Client roster spans major European corporates and Polish state-owned enterprises: BMW, Mercedes-Benz, PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe, Gaz-System, GDDKiA, Drees & Sommer, Apleona, Trei Real Estate, Energa Wytwarzanie (Grupa Orlen), Mostostal Warszawa, and Nextbike Polska.

In January 2026 Wojciech Bazan became a shareholder and the firm rebranded to its current name. The partnership has since expanded through internal promotions (Piotr Duma, Michał Urbański, April 2026) and a lateral senior hire (Krzysztof Kaczor as Head of Corporate and Commercial Disputes, March 2026). The firm holds top-tier analyst rankings across Chambers Global, Chambers Europe, Legal 500 EMEA, and IFLR1000 in 2025-2026, with partners individually ranked in each. There is no external investment, parent company, or public listing; ownership is held by partners in a Polish spółka komandytowa structure.
