WILIŃSKI LEGAL
We advise businesses and management boards on company law, contracts, disputes and questions of personal liability.
We support entrepreneurs, business owners and management-board members through a model that combines ongoing in-house support with litigation experience: from company law, restructuring and financial-organisational decisions to disputes, court proceedings and crisis situations.

In-house, companies and restructuring
Magdalena Osińska-Wilińska advises businesses and management boards on company law, contracts and restructuring. She also provides ongoing in-house legal support.
When management needs a lawyer
When a business decision is necessary but may create liability for members of governing bodies or regulatory risk.
When a dispute begins to affect company management, information flows, resolutions or relations with counterparties.
When information emerges about irregularities, a conflict of interest, data exfiltration or potential criminal liability.
When decisions must be made quickly in dealings with authorities, employees, counterparties, the media or other stakeholders.
Day-to-day in-house support led by Magdalena Osińska-Wilińska includes company law, restructuring, accounting and financial-reporting issues, contracts, corporate decisions and relations with counterparties. When a matter develops into a dispute or court proceedings, Tomasz Wiliński takes responsibility for the litigation side.
Civil, criminal, corporate and tax risks affecting management-board members and people in leadership positions.
Fact-finding, securing documentation, interviews, risk analysis and recommendations on next steps.
Procedures, accountability, whistleblowing, conflicts of interest and solutions that reduce the organisation's legal risk.
Negotiations, mediation and court representation after first assessing the business rationale and cost of the dispute.
Coordination of legal action under time pressure, liability risk or disruption to business continuity.
Ongoing support for companies, governing bodies and shareholders, corporate documentation, resolutions, organisational changes, ownership relations and support for management in decision-making.
Assessment of the company's situation, preparation for remedial and restructuring measures, support for management in relations with creditors and in selecting the future operating model.
Legal analysis that also takes into account financial data, accounting records, reporting obligations and the economic consequences of management decisions — without replacing accounting or audit services.
Engagement models
One specific decision, problem or need for a second opinion.
Regular access to a lawyer and a predictable fee model for an organisation that wants legal input on decisions as they arise.
An internal investigation, dispute, compliance implementation or another situation requiring intensive work for a defined period.
A focused project ending with a risk map and recommendations on how to document the decision-making process.
An independent internal investigation into suspected misconduct or a breach of procedures.
Assessment of key procedures, responsibilities, escalation channels and areas requiring correction.
The scope and duration of ongoing advice are agreed with the client in advance.
When there is a credible indication of misconduct, conflict of interest, breach of law, data exfiltration or conduct that may create liability for the organisation or management.
A lawyer does not replace management in making decisions. The lawyer should, however, identify risks, legal boundaries and the way the process should be documented so that the decision is made knowingly.
