Top recommendations

  • Construction (Tier 1)

We cooperate with many law firms that we recommend to our clients – SSW stands out among them for its great versatility and experience in cooperation with key companies. Its team of lawyers is truly impressive.

SSW offered a comprehensive set of services for a PV project portfolio across Poland. The team worked on the project with 3 different teams: due diligence, M&A and banking. We were impressed by the team’s market and sector knowledge and also its ability to find smart legal solutions to complex situations, but suitable for our client.

  • Energy and Natural Resources (Tier 1)

Great commitment to work throughout the whole team, working on time and meeting deadlines.

  • Private Client (Tier 1)

They are open minded, and focused on clients’ needs. They have deep knowledge of capital markets.

  • Dispute Resolution (Tier 3)
  • Investment Funds (Tier 3)
  • Private Equity (Tier 3)

Mateusz Rogoziński and his team demonstrate a strong commitment to the assigned projects. This is manifested, among other things, in good communication, adherence to the agreed deadlines, which are sometimes very ambitious, or creativity in proposing new solutions to the obstacles that sometimes arise in the implementation of transactions.

I have been working with Mateusz Rogoziński for several years. I think he is one of the better transactional lawyers. He boasts a lot of experience and industry knowledge. He has great negotiating skills. I always feel safe when I know that he will be the one to negotiate the transaction documentation. He has the ability to find solutions to any obstacle encountered.
