Nordic and Baltic Practice
Negotiations, contract drafting, and other cross-border work require in-depth knowledge of the similarities and differences between legal systems and business cultures. We are a Polish law firm but think and work internationally. Through the combination of our Swedish legal and business expertise and local knowledge, proven experience in cross-border transactions between Poland and Nordic/Baltic states, as well as excellent network and relations with law firms and other experts operating in these jurisdictions, we believe that we can be the law firm of choice for Nordic and other Baltic Sea Region clients operating in or entering the Polish market. In addition, we regularly act for Polish companies investing in Nordic and Baltic states.
LegalKraft demonstrates one of the strongest Nordic legal business capabilities in Poland. Artur Swirtun, the Founding Partner at LegalKraft is not only one of the very few Swedish advocates practicing in Poland but for a number of years, he has been actively involved in the Nordic Business community, acting i.e. as the Chairman of the Scandinavian-Polish Chamber of Commerce (the largest chamber of commerce that covers business relations between Poland and Scandinavia). With all these capacities and competencies we aim to become a first-choice firm for cross-border business operating within the Baltic Sea Region, with a special focus on the Nordic and Baltic countries.
