The Polish Family Foundation has not yet entered into force (this will happen in May 2023) but is already very popular. Moreover, it contributes to increasing activity and taking actions aimed at planning succession. In particular, entrepreneurs running family businesses are trying to explore new opportunities.

From the register to abduction? The courtroom of the EU Court of Justice witnessed an interesting battle. Beneficiaries of Luxembourg companies argued that unrestricted access to the register of beneficiaries not only violates the provisions on the protection of personal data, but above all may expose them to kidnapping, blackmail, extortion, violence or intimidation. The […]

An alternative investment fund is one of the investment structures provided for by Polish law. This is a solution enjoying unflagging popularity for several years. Concurrently, tax regulations in Poland are still in flux. This also applies to AIF, although in this case they continue to be beneficial. For this reason, in this material we […]

The topic of Dutch investment funds returns like a boomerang. The issues of greater accessibility for foreign investors and funds wishing to invest capital outside the EU region, as well as the mere fact of the reputation of the Netherlands as a stable jurisdiction in terms of investment-friendly legislation, are certainly factors of great interest.

My observations and those of the team point to the conclusion that the tax preferences offered by an alternative investment fund (AIF) often encourage investors to use it in order to manage their own investment portfolio, for the purposes of, one could say, private nature. The statutory purpose of AIF, in turn, is “to collect […]

In this text, I endeavour to showcase some sensitive elements of M&A transactions, which in practice pose a number of difficulties. I point out why it is important not to establish safety guidelines blindly based on the “the more the better” principle. How is the course of an M&A transaction affected by retaining the founder/seller […]

The Alternative Investment Funds (AIF) has become extremely popular among investors. The lack of burdensome reporting obligations with regard to the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (PFSA), simple handling and tax preferences make AIF a great alternative to overly expensive and strictly regulated investment funds. What do investors most often ask about in the context of AIF? We conduct several […]

We have written at length about Alternative Investment Funds in our blog. On how they compare with closed-end funds (the ever popular FIZs), as well as the process of registering an AIF with the Registry of AIF Managers administered by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority, about the practical aspects of running an AIF, along with the reporting and information obligations. On this […]

The pandemic has shown that Polish entrepreneurs are increasingly open to expanding their activities abroad. They primarily focus on mobilisation and taking on new challenges, such as business expansion into foreign markets. We have seen an increase in the number of projects aimed at scaling up businesses. In this article, we will outline what such […]

The popularity of alternative investment funds has been growing uninterruptedly. It has become clear that investors, looking for opportunities to grow their assets using optimal investment instruments, have already seen how efficient AIFs are. Regulatory easing, high flexibility and preferential taxes encourage investors to choose this vehicle for their investment activities. In 2021, as compared […]

May you live in interesting times! This old (supposedly Chinese) curse can undoubtedly apply to our times. The changing international order, the pandemic and the associated growth of debt, which will undoubtedly increase (or rather, is has already increased) fiscalism, have made many of our clients interested in the possibility of changing the location of […]

The habit of ‘saving’ money on specialist services has a fully quantifiable (negative) effect, we have seen this in practice. Examples? It is important to note that being aware of expenditure and trying to limit costs is completely understandable and admirable. This trend is especially reinforced in the case of intangible services, where we do […]

Many years of experience in handling merger and acquisition transactions, has leads us to a conclusion that the role of a lawyer – coordinator is quite a challenge! Legal support of an M&A transactions does not consist only of a meticulous preparation of the transaction documents, but also (and mostly) of providing the client with […]

It is safe to say that divergence of the parties’ interests is hardwired into M&A processes. With that in mind, establishing a security for repayment is (or should be) an important factor to account for during transaction negotiations.
