Expanding into the Polish market and setting up a company is a complex process that requires careful navigation of legal and regulatory frameworks. Beyond company registration, businesses must address various legal aspects, including corporate law, taxation, labor law, contracts, and competition law. Overlooking any of these areas can result in delays, regulatory issues, or even legal penalties.
- Corporate law – selecting the optimal legal structure, drafting articles of association, registering with the National Court Register (Krajowy Rejestr Sądowy , KRS), and handling corporate governance matters.
- Tax law – determining the most efficient tax structure, registering for VAT, CIT, and PIT, and ensuring compliance with the Central Register of Beneficial Owners (Centralny Rejestr Beneficjentów Rzeczywistych, CRBR).
- Labor law – preparing employment contracts, workplace policies, and managing foreign employee requirements.
- Contract law – drafting and negotiating commercial agreements, lease contracts, and supplier and partner agreements.
- Competition law – ensuring compliance with antitrust regulations and avoiding monopolistic practices.
