About Us

OKW provides comprehensive and professional legal advice combined with a Western approach to client service. Our lawyers can communicate in Polish, English, German and Dutch.

The firm’s partners – Marta Olczak-Klimek, Maciej Węgiełek, Remco van der Kroft, Karolina Lach-Guziak and Jan Szary – provide a unique combination of Polish legal expertise and a Dutch no-nonsense client approach. We put our client’s business interests first and pride ourselves on always keeping the broader picture in mind.

Since its first beginnings in 2004, OKW has evolved into a law firm with a staff of 26 people in two locations: Warsaw and Wrocław.

Our support goes much further than just providing legal advice. We participate in negotiations, run training sessions, draft and review contracts, handle court disputes and also create attractive business opportunities through our far-reaching network and familiarity with foreign markets. We encourage our clients to communicate with one another and share their business experiences with the aim of running their businesses more effectively.
