What Szymańczyk Roman Deresz Kancelaria Adwokacka Spółka Partnerska does

Szymańczyk Roman Deresz Kancelaria Adwokacka Spółka Partnerska is a Warsaw-based Polish law firm founded in 2011, operating as a multi-partner partnership (spółka partnerska) with a 13-person team comprising four named partners, associates, and administrative staff. The practice is organized into two departments — Transaction & Business and Litigation & Individual Matters — covering 11 practice areas spanning M&A, corporate, real estate and construction, energy, infrastructure, IP, labor law, and litigation. The firm serves a mixed client base of Polish enterprises and international clients seeking Polish-law counsel, with named mandates including listed real estate developers (Dom Development, Cavatina, Develia, Okam), energy companies (Greenpower Polska, MCX), infrastructure investors (Panattoni), and Korean rolling-stock manufacturer Hyundai Rotem Company.

The firm's business model is a traditional hourly-and-engagement-fee professional services model, with revenue generated through partner-led advisory mandates, transactional work (M&A, contract negotiation, due diligence), and litigation/arbitration representation. The practice has invested in thought-leadership and content marketing through a dedicated real estate law portal (nieruchomosciwprawie.pl) and media partnerships with Rzeczpospolita and Real Estate Magazine, using inbound content to source enterprise mandates. In 2024 the firm was named a Partner in the Real Estate Expert Yearbook, reinforcing its positioning in the Polish commercial real estate vertical.

Recent strategic activity suggests deliberate commercial buildout rather than headcount scaling: the addition of Swiss-franc (CHF) mortgage and consumer-bank litigation extends the practice into high-volume B2C claims work, and multilingual coverage (English, German, Czech) supports cross-border mandates. The firm is privately held as a partnership, with no external funding events, M&A activity, or disclosed financial data. The competitive position rests on partner-level domain expertise, brand recognition in real estate law, and a diversified enterprise client roster rather than technology differentiation or scale advantages.
