Main areas of legal support in Poland
Company registration in Poland: basics
The solution developed at COREDO includes a detailed analysis of the client’s objectives, selection of the ownership form taking into account tax planning and corporate governance requirements. For example, for tech startups and companies focused on international investments, Sp. z o.o. provides flexibility, minimal share capital and ease of attracting new partners. For large holding structures, S.A. opens access to the stock market and corporate governance instruments.
Special attention is paid to issues of legalizing foreign business and corporate governance. It is important not only to correctly draft meeting resolutions and the articles of association, but also to build an internal control system that complies with the requirements of Polish law and EU standards.
Corporate law and contract support
Within contract law and contract drafting, special importance is given to adapting documents to international standards (for example, ICC, UNIDROIT), as well as considering the specifics of Polish and European legislation. For COREDO’s clients we develop comprehensive contract packages that include not only the main terms but also dispute resolution mechanisms, intellectual property protection, confidentiality and compliance provisions.
Legal consultations and business support
The COREDO team supports clients at all stages: from pre-trial dispute resolution to representation in arbitration and administrative proceedings. Special attention is paid to legal due diligence of counterparties and risk audits – these tools allow identification of potential threats even before concluding a transaction and minimize the likelihood of financial and reputational losses.
Legal audit and risk assessment are not one-time procedures but systemic tools of business management that include analysis of corporate structure, compliance procedures, tax obligations and employment relations.
Employment law and taxes in Poland
At COREDO we develop bespoke employment contracts and internal regulations that take into account the specifics of the industry, the scale of the business and GDPR requirements for the protection of employees’ personal data. Preparing employment contracts and regulations in Poland includes agreeing on pay terms, work schedules, incentive systems and procedures for resolving labor conflicts.
Legal assistance during tax audits in Poland includes document preparation, support for communication with tax authorities, appealing decisions and defending the company’s interests in court.
AML services and compliance for businesses in Poland
legal services for startups and innovative companies include not only basic compliance procedures, but also the development of tailored solutions for working with new financial instruments, digital assets, and cross-border operations.
Legal support for real estate and intellectual property
Intellectual property protection in Poland is another important aspect for companies operating in the innovation and IT sectors. trademark registration and patents, as well as legal support for licensing and certification, provide not only asset protection but also competitive advantages in the market.
The COREDO team supports clients at all stages: from filing an application with the UPRP (Polish Patent Office) to defending rights in case of infringement and appealing decisions of government authorities.
Legalization and immigration law for entrepreneurs
The solution implemented by the COREDO team includes analysis of the client’s individual situation, preparation and support for submitting documents, and interaction with voivodeship authorities and migration services. Particular attention is paid to issues of legalizing foreign businesses, verifying sources of investments and ensuring transparency of the ownership structure.
Legal assistance in resolving immigration issues allows clients not only to obtain a residence permit but also to build a long-term strategy for staying and developing a business in Poland.
Practical tips for entrepreneurs
Choosing a reliable legal partner in Poland: a strategically important decision for any business focused on long-term development and risk minimization. COREDO’s experience shows: the key mistakes in legal support of business are related to underestimating compliance procedures, a formal approach to document execution, and the lack of systematic risk audits.
I recommend paying attention to the following aspects:
- Check the team’s experience and expertise in supporting international projects.
- Assess the transparency of processes, the presence of clear regulations and internal control systems.
- Use legal audits and counterparty due diligence as regular risk management tools.
- Implement modern compliance procedures that meet EU standards and the requirements of Polish law.
- Evaluate the effectiveness of legal support through ROI metrics: reduction in the number of disputes, acceleration of transactions, minimization of fines and delays.
