Client Perspective: Wojciech Ratymirski on legal challenges and cooperation with KWKR
As part of our rebranding, we want to share not only our experts and exciting projects with you, but also conversations with our clients. Discover their perspective, expectations, and experiences working with KWKR. Here is the second in our interview series – a conversation with Wojciech Ratymirski from Radix Ventures.
What led your company to start working with KWKR?
We’ve been working with KWKR for years, both on real estate and investment projects. The firm supported us in establishing and providing legal services for our first VC fund: Valuetech Seed, with a capitalization of over PLN 30 million. When we were creating our new fund in the deep-tech sector – Radix Ventures (capitalization: EUR 42 million) – we couldn’t think of anyone else we’d rather have as our legal partner for future investments.
What do you expect from legal services provided by law firms?
We expect law firms to understand the specifics of the sector we operate in, as well as the mechanisms of venture capital financing. VC investments require fast-paced action and the ability to operate within market standards typical for such transactions. The lawyers at KWKR have always been available to us and capable of proposing solutions acceptable to all parties involved in the investment.
How does KWKR address those expectations, and in which legal areas is our cooperation most effective?
The lawyers at KWKR know not only the law but also the VC industry itself. Marcin Wierzbicki and Paulina Opiełka are people I can call with any problem, and I know they will literally go above and beyond to help me solve it. They are creative yet cautious lawyers. I have great trust in their expertise, and I know that thanks to them, every transaction we carry out will be a success.
What do you value most in your cooperation with KWKR?
For us, the most important aspects are effective communication and the ability to get things done. We appreciate KWKR’s business-oriented approach to projects, their commitment, and their skill in closing deals. They are also excellent partners to consult with when facing strategic decisions. I wouldn’t entrust the legal handling of our business to anyone else.
