01 · Introduction

A transaction is any agreement on which significant money depends: an investor coming in, a shareholders’ agreement, financing, a distribution agreement or a technology licence.

We handle transactions from the first letter of intent to signing and settlement. We draft agreements in Polish and English, negotiate terms and make sure payments are secured.

02 · Scope

What the service includes

  • Term sheet, letter of intent, NDA
  • Investment agreements and shareholders’ agreements
  • Debt financing: bonds and loans
  • Commercial, distribution and licence agreements
  • Security: escrow, guarantees, submission to enforcement
  • Negotiations and attendance at signing

03 · What it means

What it means for you

For you this means an agreement that protects your interests, not one that merely “looks good”. Every risk we find is translated into a specific provision: a guarantee, a penalty, escrow or an exit right.

When an investor comes in, we look after the valuation, voting rights, dilution provisions and exit rules.

Who it is for: Companies raising investment, buying or selling services for large amounts, or entering into a joint venture with a Polish partner.

04 · Why it matters

Why it matters

01

Money

A mistake in an investment or commercial agreement usually costs more than the entire legal support for the transaction.

02

Control

Provisions on voting, vetoes and exit determine who really runs the company after the investor comes in.

03

Dispute

A bilingual agreement with a clear governing-language clause and jurisdiction clause saves months of dispute.
