20.03.2025 News Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) Arbitration Capital Markets Litigation

The Chambers and Partners Europe 2025 rankings are out, and we’re grateful to be recognized once again across multiple practice areas, reflecting our commitment to growth and adaptation to meet our clients’ evolving needs.

We’re especially excited about our progress in M&A, where we’ve reached high-end capability status. We have transitioned in the Corporate/M&A category from Mid-Market, where we were previously ranked in Band 1, to High-end Capability. Although we are now positioned in Band 4, this move reflects our firm’s evolving focus and enhanced capability to handle more complex and high-value M&A transactions.

Additionally, we maintain strong performance across multiple other categories:

  • Private Equity, Band 3
  • Capital Markets: Equity, Band 4
  • Litigation, Band 6

We are also pleased to highlight the individual accomplishments of our team members:

Beata Gessel-Kalinowska vel Kalisz, Band 1 in Arbitration

Krzysztof Marczuk, Band 4 in Capital Markets: Equity

Maciej Kożuchowski, Band 4 in Corporate/M&A: High-end Capability

Marcin Macieszczak, Band 3 in both Corporate/M&A: High-end Capability and Private Equity

Michal Bochowicz, recognized as Up and Coming in Corporate/M&A

Anna Ziewalicz, recognized as Associates to watch in Litigation, special congratulations to Anna on being recognized for the first time in the Chambers Europe ranking!

We are deeply grateful to our clients, whose trust and collaboration allow us to contribute to their strategic projects. Your ongoing support makes these accomplishments possible – thank you!
