China-side counsel
- ODI, SAFE, and relevant China-side approvals
- China-parent governance and authority
- Mainland contracts and onshore implications
- PRC enforcement or asset questions
Poland counsel
- Poland entity, governance, and transaction documents
- Employment, immigration, and local contracts

Questions at the first call
Practical starting points.
Can a Chinese company establish a Polish company or branch?
Yes. The suitable route depends on operations, governance, liability, registration, beneficial ownership, tax, staffing, and sector permissions.
Could an acquisition require Polish foreign-investment review?
Potentially. The answer depends on the investor, target, activities, ownership or control change, thresholds, and rules in force. Obtain current advice before signing or closing.
Why involve customs counsel for Poland-facing trade?
Classification, valuation, origin, EORI, trade remedies, sanctions, export controls, VAT, and product rules can change landed cost and transaction risk.
Does Warsaw counsel automatically cover every EU customs issue?
No. Confirm Polish and EU scope, customs representation, the countries of import or export, and the lawyer’s precise mandate.
