LEGAL & TAX
CAPITAL MARKET
LITIGATION EXPERIENCE
Cost cutting continues to be the order of the day in the
Legal sector in 2013, with law firms bearing the brunt as
organisations tend to bolster their in-house teams. This is
reflected in the number of opportunities for in-house lawyers.
Given the interest in the Polish market for foreign investors
(including financial companies), we observe a growing
demand for lawyers who can handle these types of
transaction. Capital markets and cross-border tax specialists
as well as compliance managers are also sought after.
As a result of the reluctance of banks to grant corporate
credits, companies are looking for extra funds in the capital
markets, usually through the issue of corporate bonds. This is
very popular in the energy (both traditional and renewable)
and waste management sectors. Therefore professionals
with experience in handling these types of transactions will
typically have several job offers to consider.

Litigation and arbitration expertise
The development of new technologies and the growing
volume of transactions in the Polish market, realised through
e-trading sales channel, has led to an increase in the number
of jobs for candidates who specialize in this area of law.
There was a noticeable rise in the volume of work for
litigation, arbitration and restructuring specialists, particularly
in the construction sector in the second half of 2012. Given
the complexity and duration of these issues, we expect
increased demand for litigation and arbitration specialists.
