During his speech, Andrzej Ladziński expressed his opinion on the introduction of the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights and pointed to 5 key issues which, in his opinion, should be included therein.

In Friday’s issue of Rzeczpospolita, a ranking of tax advisory firms was published, confirming GWW’s position in the top 10 largest tax law firms in Poland.
We were in the lead in terms of:
Last year’s growth in the number of clients, including listed companies, earned us an honourable 3rd place, in another category. In the list of tax leaders serving the highest number of listed companies, we ranked on the podium, right next to two Big Four firms.
Why is tax advice particularly important in listed companies?
– Listed companies by their very nature are in the limelight and are watched not only by investors, but also by the tax authorities. The support of tax advisors is therefore indispensable there. Especially as these companies, due to their size and growth needs, are more often parties to complex transactions,” says Artur Cmoch.
We are in third place in terms of the number of listed companies we serve: Deloitte was also on the podium last year, but fell to sixth this year. In contrast, an impressive rise from seventh to third place was recorded by GWW, which increased the number of listed clients year-on-year from 30 to 58 (+93 per cent).
The GWW team was recognised in the categories of tax, private clients and technology, media and telecommunications (TMT).
Individual distinctions were awarded to Aldona Leszczyńska Mikulska, team leader for the private client team and Wacław Knopkiewicz, team leader for the TMT team.

Huge congratulations to the awardees as well as to the entire GWW team.
In depth: Private Wealth and Private Client Review is a prestigious publication that brings together key legal issues from a private client perspective, such as a description of recent changes, key features of domestic tax systems or succession mechanisms in a particular country.
Each chapter of the publication has been written by representatives from different countries and is dedicated to a specific jurisdiction. The authors are recognised specialists in their respective fields. The Polish part of the recently published 12th edition focuses on the legal and practical issues of private wealth management and was prepared by GWW Partner and Attorney-at-law Aldona Leszczyńska-Mikulska and Attorney-at-Law Tomasz Krzywański.
One of the topics addressed by the Polish lawyers is the polish family foundation, which is still relatively new in Polish legislation, so we therefore encourage you to familiarise yourself with the publication.
