Find the Right Lawyer in Poland — in English

Historically adwokaci (advocates/barristers) specialised in criminal and court work while radcowie prawni (legal advisers/solicitors) focused on commercial law, but since 2015 both have equal rights of audience in all courts. When searching for a lawyer in Poland, there is no practical difference for most clients.
