Long-term legal assistance is the most comprehensive form of cooperation between KPRW and its Clients. It comprises quick and timely solving of any current legal issues the Client may have. We provide long-term legal assistance to business entities whose activities require help in various fields of everyday work. We also provide long-term legal assistance to large companies which have their internal legal units, as the services of a highly specialised external law firm often allow for solving more complex issues.
This form of cooperation additionally provides legal safety by way of monitoring whether day-to-day activities meet the relevant legal requirements. KPRW lawyers who provide permanent legal assistance for a particular Client know the specificity of his activities, organisation, forms of actions taken which additionally facilitates performing legal services and boosts its effectiveness. Our lawyers are on standby to help Clients in any law-related matter. Monitoring of the Client's day-to-day business activities allows for indicating possible risks resulting from considered business decisions and prompt reactions to any legal issues that may arise.
Under long-term legal assistance we provide optimisation and management of corporate and fiscal matters, with safety of the Client's interests in mind.
Details of permanent legal assistance are set forth in the contract which always accommodates the Client's particular needs.
