Bąk & Dębiak Law Firm Bąk i Dębiak

About us

Bąk i Dębiak Kancelaria Radców Prawnych s.c. has been providing professional legal advisory services for over 12 years.

The law firm’s team consists of lawyers who combine a high level of theoretical knowledge with practical skills gained through many years of work in the business environment.

On a daily basis, we primarily support entrepreneurs – working with entities from the IT, education, and real estate sectors. We also advise private individuals on matters concerning asset protection and succession planning. We represent our clients in both court and administrative proceedings.

Our primary goal is to provide our clients with optimal solutions while ensuring maximum legal security.

We have offices in two locations – in Warsaw at 64 Chłodna Street and in Stare Babice at 2 Pocztowa Street.
