Over the years, Wolf Theiss has acted on a significant portion of the Polish market’s most notable PE and VC deals, frequently collaborating with top international law firms on cross‑border mandates requiring both technical precision and commercial judgement.

We assist PE clients with fund management, filing and reporting requirements and the passporting of AIFMD-compliant funds. The team is also involved in various types of company buy-outs including leveraged, take-private, opportunistic and carve-out transactions, as well as co-investments, acquisition financings, trade sales, and take-public exits.
Our lawyers are recognised for their strong industry‑specific expertise across multiple sectors. The combination of transactional excellence, regulatory capability and sector insight positions us as a top quality, long‑term partner for private equity investors and their portfolio companies.
