Pro bono

For many years, GESSEL’s lawyers have been providing free legal assistance to individuals and entities working for the public good. We are involved in matters which we consider important and in which, without our support in the form of expert legal assistance, the achievement of a socially important goal would often be impossible, or at least hindered. We attach particular importance to cooperation with third sector organizations, because we know what an important role they play and how indispensable their activities are in social and economic life.

  • Legal support regarding the copyright of Ms. Katarzyna Kozyra’s work “Olympia” and advice on the possibility of granting the W. Rzewuski Museum of the History of Photography a license to use the work.
