In the latest ranking published by Legal 500, 18 DZP experts were highlighted as leading lawyers, and as many as 10 new lawyers were recognized by this prestigious ranking.

On March 26, the Legal 500 EMEA list was released, in which our law firm was once again ranked among the best law firms in Poland. Based on the projects carried out over the past year and the client satisfaction survey, independent consultants compiled the list, in which they singled out 55 of our experts and recommended our team in as many as 19 specializations.

Our firm ranked among the top law firms on the Polish market in 4 areas: Construction, Dispute resolution, Energy & natural resources and Public procurement, achieving the highest ranking (Tier 1) and maintaining its leadership position in these areas. We are particularly pleased with the successes and the commitment of our lawyers from two practice teams that were promoted this year, strengthening their position - the Competition Law Practice, which after only one year of its presence in the ranking, was promoted to Tier 2, and the Real Estate Practice, which ranked in Tier 3.

Of all the recommended experts, 18 received individual awards:

  • Hall of Fame – Hanna Gajewska-Kraczkowska
  • Leading partners – Michał Cecerko, Tomasz Darowski, Paweł Grzejszczak, Marcin Krakowiak, Katarzyna Kuźma, Paweł Lewandowski, Bartosz Marcinkowski, Agata Mierzwa, Artur Nowak, Józef Palinka, Magdalena Skowrońska, Marek Świątkowski, Julita Zimoch-Tuchołka
  • Next Generation Partners – Rafał Karbowniczek
