Working with your lawyer

Tomasz Wiliński

Advocate (adwokat) · Mediator

Selected additional areas

Family & divorce

Divorce, arrangements for children, maintenance and property division, including family matters involving more than one country.

Construction & investment

Contracts, project risk, defects, contractor disputes, claims and legal support throughout the investment process.

Art law

Ownership, provenance, copyright, transactions and disputes involving artists, collectors, galleries and the art market.

Mediation

Not every dispute needs a judgment

We conduct civil, family, business and organisational mediations. The mediation practice is led by Magdalena Osińska-Wilińska, a court mediator listed with the Regional Court in Warsaw and the Regional Court Warsaw-Praga. Mediation is voluntary and confidential within the limits of applicable law; the mediator does not act as either party's lawyer.

A settlement signed by the parties before a mediator may be submitted to a Polish court for approval. Where enforcement is possible, approval may take the form of an enforcement clause. Mediation does not automatically “interrupt” limitation periods; the legal effect depends on the applicable provisions and the way the mediation was initiated.

How we work

Understand the risk first. Choose the tool second.

One point of responsibility

Clients remain in direct contact with the lawyer handling their matter.

Practical advice

The objective is not to produce documents. The objective is to help the client make an informed decision.

Specialists when needed

Where a matter requires tax, restructuring, technical, valuation or other specialist input, we coordinate work with appropriate external professionals.
