‘The Linklaters team always focuses on the client's needs and always selects a balanced litigation team supported by other lawyers, e.g. a department of experts in competition law, financial law, etc. I appreciate their synergy of work and the possibility of direct contact with each member of the team. They are also not afraid to engage younger lawyers, which adds a lot of good energy and innovation, e.g. in collecting evidence.’
‘Zbigniem Kruczkowski - experienced litigator, has extensive knowledge that he can present in an accessible way in the field of difficulty.'
‘A very competent and experienced team, perfectly prepared and efficiently managing disputes.’
‘Very competent and perfectly prepared for the cases. Marta Szrajer deserves special mention. Very good in analysing and discussing possible options.’
‘Excellent analysis skills, creative approach, good ideas. Very good planning and enforcement.’
‘What stands them out from others, especially smaller law firms, is access to AI systems that make everyday work easier - in particular, they perform very quick linguistic proofreading of texts and automatic translations from foreign languages. Linklaters takes care of the form of messages to the client and has the ability to build larger teams to handle a given case.’
‘From my own experience of working with the Linklaters team as an attorney co-investigating the case, I had the opportunity to see directly and "from the inside" that both Cezary Wiśniewski (partner) and Marta Szrajer (managing associate) are involved in the case personally and in-depth, and not only superficially. I highly value their communication and cooperation skills.’
‘Cezary Wiśniewski is one of top Polish arbitration practitioners.'
