Supporting business on international markets

DZP | Go Global is a programme created to comprehensively support Polish businesses in international expansion and foreign investors developing operations in Poland and the CEE region.

Having over 30 years’ experience, we offer our clients a full spectrum of legal and tax advice services, combining specialist knowledge with an in-depth understanding of the specific nature of international markets and local business and cultural conditions. 

In order to meet the challenges associated with international business, we have developed a unique network of partnerships with renowned law firms and experts in key business centres around the world. Thanks to the relationships developed in this field, we offer our clients legal assistance in almost all European countries, the USA and Canada, and also in London, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Madrid, Milan and Frankfurt.

Global partnership and expertise – how we work

Our cooperation with international partners is based on trust, day-to-day contact and joint projects, which enables our clients to benefit from the knowledge of experts operating in various jurisdictions. We work as one team – helping Polish companies on foreign markets and supporting investors from outside Poland in their business operations in our country.

Our approach is based on flexibility in the selection of international project teams. As an independent law firm, we are not bound by rigid structures – for each project, we choose the best specialists suited to the specific nature of the market, the sector and the client's needs.

• We play the role of international project coordinator, ensuring effective management and integration of legal activities.
• We provide support in processes to negotiate, adapt and implement legal solutions, adjusting them to the Polish and international business environment.
• We look beyond legal aspects and take into account cultural and business differences that can affect the success of activities on foreign markets.

However, our activities involve more than just cooperation with foreign law firms – we are also active members of global organisations of leading law and advisory firms known for their high-quality services. Our lawyers and tax advisers are members of prestigious international organisations such as the IBA, ABA, AJIA and IPBA, which lets us keep up to date with international trends and legislation.

DZP also has specialist teams dedicated to serving clients from key markets, including the Iberian, Italian, German, French, Korean and Chinese markets.
