Maritime economy

Conducting business in the maritime economy sector involves numerous specific legal issues. Whether you are involved in maritime transport, cargo handling, port management, shipbuilding, or providing ancillary services, the knowledge and practical use of complex national and international regulations are everyday matters. That is why it is essential to have by your side specialists who know and understand the maritime industry.

Our law firm is based in Szczecin, one of the most important maritime centers in Poland. We also operate in Świnoujście and the Tri-City area. This allows us to understand the local realities and specifics of maritime activities thoroughly.

We provide full legal support to both large companies and small businesses. Our experience includes transport law, maritime law, shipbuilding contract law and maritime environmental issues. We are also experienced in providing legal services for investments, including those under the regime of public procurement law, those subsidised by EU funds and in advising participants in the construction process (including hydraulic engineering).

Our office is located by the water in Szczecin, enabling us to maintain close contact with key industry firms in the West Pomeranian region, which we also access by waterway.
