Capital market (legal advice)

We advise entities operating on the stock exchange and regulated markets, supporting them at every stage of their presence in the trading system. We assist issuers in the preparation and approval of information documents, as well as in the fulfillment of disclosure obligations under the MAR, the Act on Public Offering, and KNF regulations. We also support IPO processes and the secondary listing of financial instruments.

We represent clients in their dealings with financial supervisory authorities – the Warsaw Stock Exchange, the Polish Financial Supervision Authority and the National Depository for Securities – both in administrative proceedings and in obtaining the required approvals. We cooperate with brokerage houses and advise investors on transactions involving shares of public companies, including tender offers and disclosure obligations. We also advise investment funds, investment fund companies, and asset managers on compliance with capital market regulations.

In recent years, we have provided services to issuers and investors operating on the regulated market and in the alternative trading system – NewConnect and Catalyst. As an Authorized Advisor, we have supported companies such as AFORTI HOLDING S.A., MBF GROUP S.A., ABS Investment S.A., Forposta S.A., and Prodromus S.A. We have prepared information documentation, conducted legal analyses, and represented issuers before the Warsaw Stock Exchange and the National Depository for Securities.

We also cooperate with investment fund companies and investment firms in the implementation of procedures compliant with the MiFID and UCITS directives. We advise on the development of internal structures compliant with financial supervision regulations and conduct compliance audits. Our experience also includes legal services for transactions on the bond market, transformations of entities operating in the investment sector, and disputes involving supervisory authorities.

We provide our clients with legal certainty, timely action, and knowledge of supervisory institutions’ practices. Our law firm offers comprehensive advice on securities issuance, disclosure obligations, and contact with the Polish Financial Supervision Authority, which translates into legal security for issuers and investors. We have experience in serving both large financial institutions and dynamic newcomers to the capital market.

Thanks to our active participation in administrative and regulatory proceedings, we are able to respond quickly to changing legal requirements. We support our clients in obtaining approvals for trading in securities, interpreting new regulations, and adapting their activities to the KNF guidelines. We are distinguished by our understanding of the market, flexibility, and full responsibility for the project entrusted to us, regardless of whether it concerns an IPO, bond issue, or tender offer.

An entity operating on the capital market, regardless of whether it is planning an IPO or already operates as a public company, must comply with numerous regulatory and reporting obligations. This applies to trading in shares on regulated markets and NewConnect, as well as to the issuance of bonds and other financial instruments. Every issuer should be aware of its obligations towards investors and supervisory authorities, and fulfilling these obligations requires ongoing legal support.

The complexity of regulations, the variety of documentation requirements, and the need for precise communication with the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF) or the Warsaw Stock Exchange (GPW) make cooperation with a law firm specializing in capital market legal advice indispensable. The reliable preparation of current reports, notifications, and offering documents is crucial not only for compliance with regulations but also for building the issuer’s credibility in the eyes of investors and financial institutions. KWKR supports these activities, ensuring the highest standards of professionalism and security.
