Specialized Legal Expertise and Technology Drive Success in Poland's 'New Law' Category

The "Nowe Prawo" (New Law) category in "Rzeczpospolita's" legal ranking highlights specialized legal professionals whose effectiveness stems from collaboration and technology, irrespective of firm size. This year, 24 firms participated, with Lex Secure from Sopot taking the lead in mass client service.

Kancelaria Radców Prawnych Chabrowski i Partnerzy, a Krakow-based firm serving the IT sector, secured the second position. Mateusz Chabrowski, a partner at the firm, explained the unique demands of advising IT businesses. "The specificity of working for this sector is that law quickly intersects with business and technology practice," he stated. Lawyers need to understand the operational models of software houses and freelancers, covering aspects like B2B contracts, code copyright, implementation liability, GDPR, cybersecurity, AI, and international client relations. Chabrowski stressed that legal knowledge alone is insufficient; it must be translated into practical decisions regarding contracts, service scopes, and risk assessment.

Chabrowski i Partnerzy, with its five lawyers, handled 6,500 cases in 2025. Chabrowski emphasized that despite the high volume, personal contact and understanding client situations remain paramount. "The number of clients cannot lead to treating cases formulaically," he said. While the firm utilizes standard tools for work organization, task management, communication, and document handling, well-organized knowledge resources and documented experiences are equally crucial for rapid, yet individually assessed, responses.

Chabrowski also commented on the impact of AI, noting its ability to expedite material analysis, information organization, and initial document drafting. However, he firmly believes AI does not replace lawyers. "Every recommendation and every document must be read, evaluated, and accepted by a human who takes responsibility for it," he asserted. The article also noted the disappearance of a large compensation law firm, Łebek, Madej i Wspólnicy, from the rankings, with Kancelaria Adwokacka adw. Łukasz Kowalski and Kancelaria Strażeccy, Jaliński i Wspólnicy filling the top spots in the compensation claims category.

Liczba klientów nie może prowadzić do traktowania spraw szablonowo. Korzystamy z typowych narzędzi do organizacji pracy kancelarii, porządkowania zadań, komunikacji i zarządzania dokumentami, ale równie ważne są dobrze zorganizowane zasoby wiedzy, procedury i dokumentowanie doświadczeń z powtarzalnych spraw. To pozwala szybciej reagować, bez rezygnacji z indywidualnej oceny
