Starting a business in Poland

Doing business in Poland requires not only an innovative idea and a business plan, but also a solid legal foundation. KWKR offers comprehensive services for start-ups – from choosing the right legal form, through preparing registration documents, to support in the internal organization of the company. We help set up limited liability companies, joint-stock companies, and advise on choosing other forms of business activity tailored to the specific nature of your business.

We also draft founding agreements, regulations, internal policies, and contracts with key employees and co-founders. We advise on compliance with commercial law, intellectual property law, and the GDPR. We also offer support in day-to-day legal matters, representing clients before courts and authorities. With us, your company can focus on product development and customer acquisition, confident that it is operating in compliance with the law

Our experience includes legal advice on hundreds of projects in the new technologies, e-commerce, creative, medical, and FinTech sectors. We have served both local startups and foreign entrepreneurs who have decided to set up their businesses in Poland. We have assisted in negotiations with venture capital funds, prepared investment documentation, and supported our clients in obtaining financing from public and EU programs.

Our lawyers have conducted legal audits for startups at the MVP stage, supported the transformation of sole proprietorships into limited liability companies, and provided representation in tax disputes concerning intellectual property and NDA violations. We have not only legal but also business know-how – we know the market realities and can advise on how to avoid the most common mistakes when setting up and developing a company. Our advice is practical – we look for solutions tailored to the real needs and capabilities of entrepreneurs.

Cooperation with a law firm from the very first days of operation gives a start-up not only legal security, but also a competitive advantage. We help build a transparent ownership structure, secure relations between partners, regulate the rules of management liability, and prepare for attracting investors. Legal services also include assistance with personal data protection, internet platform regulations, as well as trademarks and other elements of intellectual property.

Our team combines expertise in commercial law, civil law, new technology law, and compliance, enabling us to provide consistent and multifaceted advice. For entrepreneurs who want to conduct their business in accordance with the law, but without unnecessary formalities and delays, we are a real support. Every lawyer in our team understands the specifics of dynamically developing companies and operates on the basis of a “legal as a service” approach – law that supports business, not blocks it.

When setting up a start-up in Poland, it is worth thinking not only about registering the company, but also about a comprehensive “legal plan.” Each legal form entails different obligations – in terms of liability, taxes, internal documentation, and reporting. Equally important are issues such as personal data protection, online service regulations, and how to protect intellectual property – names, logos, source code, and know-how.

It is worth bearing in mind that the first contracts – with investors, partners, and customers – are of paramount importance for further development. Even minor errors in the structure of founding agreements or entries in the National Court Register can have serious consequences in the future. That is why our law firm offers startups comprehensive advice from the very beginning – we analyze risks, draft documents, and help implement solutions that comply with the law and good business practices. This allows entrepreneurs to focus on developing their ideas and scaling their business, while leaving legal matters in the hands of experienced experts.
