What types of matters does Kopeć Zaborowski Attorneys-at-Law and Legal Advisers (KKZ) handle?
KKZ advises on a wide range of legal matters, supporting both individuals and businesses. The team combines experience in criminal law (including white-collar crime), commercial and corporate disputes, employment law, and litigation. The firm handles pre-trial and court proceedings, investigative audits, support during customs and tax inspections, and representation before supervisory authorities and public administration bodies. KKZ also assists with protection of personal rights and media-related disputes, compliance programs, and whistleblowing procedures. With an interdisciplinary team, the firm coordinates complex projects—from risk assessment through to a final outcome.
Does KKZ operate only in Warsaw?
While KKZ is based in Warsaw, the firm handles matters across Poland and regularly appears before courts and public authorities in multiple cities. Depending on the client’s needs, the team provides local representation or coordinates work remotely to respond efficiently to every procedural development. KKZ is prepared for rapid travel, participation in interviews and hearings, pre-trial detention hearings, and on-site inspections at company premises.
How can I schedule a legal consultation as quickly as possible?
The fastest way is to contact KKZ by phone or email and briefly describe the matter, including convenient times for a call back. In urgent situations (e.g., detention, a search, or a bank account freeze), the team treats the case as a priority and arranges an in-person meeting or video consultation the same day. Before the call, it helps to gather key documents and prepare questions—this enables a faster assessment, a clearer strategy, and a realistic timeline for next steps.
Does KKZ provide defense in corporate criminal cases and represent clients before regulators?
Yes. KKZ represents executives, companies, and professionals in proceedings involving economic and financial crimes, taxes, and the financial market, as well as cases related to employee misconduct. The team combines criminal procedure insight with a business perspective, assesses reputational and regulatory risk, and prepares crisis communication plans where needed. KKZ also acts in administrative and disciplinary proceedings and supports clients during inspections conducted by various institutions.
Does KKZ help with personal rights infringements and media-related matters?
Yes. KKZ represents clients in disputes involving press and online publications, image and reputation protection, and trade secret issues, including matters concerning corrections, removals, and other remedies for content that infringes personal rights such as honor or good name. The team prepares a risk assessment, litigation strategy, and pre-action steps, including formal notices and settlement negotiations. Where appropriate, KKZ coordinates civil proceedings with criminal or administrative actions to ensure consistent messaging and effective reputation protection.
Can I receive legal assistance in a foreign language?
KKZ provides services in several languages, including English, Italian, and Spanish, and works with international clients on a day-to-day basis. The team explains Polish legal procedures, clarifies legal consequences, and prepares documents and procedural filings in the agreed language version. When necessary, KKZ coordinates with sworn translators and foreign law firms. This ensures that clients outside Poland receive support aligned with their expectations and communication standards. KKZ currently cooperates with law firms in dozens of countries across all continents.
How does the firm bill clients—hourly rates or fixed fees?
The billing model is tailored to the nature of the matter, its complexity, and the expected workload. For longer business projects, KKZ often recommends a fixed-fee arrangement with a clearly defined scope and stages. For fast-moving matters, hourly billing with regular reporting is typically the better fit. In selected cases, success-fee elements may be available—where permitted by applicable law and professional ethics. KKZ always presents the rules and budget transparently before work begins, and the cooperation terms are defined in the engagement agreement.
Does KKZ have recommendations and awards?
Yes—KKZ’s team and expert practices are regularly recognized in respected legal rankings and industry media in Poland and internationally, including Forbes (Best Law Firms in Poland), The Lawyer European Awards, and The Legal 500. For clients, this serves as an independent confirmation of expertise and effectiveness in complex matters. At the same time, each case is different, and outcomes depend on multiple factors, including evidence and the other party’s strategy. That is why KKZ emphasizes realistic assessments and reliable communication at every stage.
Does KKZ deliver training and webinars for companies (compliance, whistleblowing, inspections)?
Yes. KKZ runs dedicated training sessions and workshops for management teams, HR, and compliance departments, covering topics such as reporting procedures, incident response, inspections by authorities, and crisis communication standards. Training materials and case studies are tailored to the client’s industry and organizational maturity, and practical checklists are provided after the session. Upon request, KKZ also performs a procedure audit and prepares an implementation plan so that training translates into measurable improvements. The team is also a frequent speaker at major national conferences and professional training events.
