Obtaining a Decision on Support is not merely a matter of submitting an application. It is a process that requires the investment to be properly prepared from legal, factual, organisational and economic perspectives, as well as the project to be presented appropriately to the entity managing the relevant area of the Polish Investment Zone. Already at the preliminary stage, it is necessary to determine whether the planned investment satisfies the positive eligibility requirements prescribed by law, whether its scope has been properly defined, whether eligible costs have been correctly identified, and whether the Investor is able to meet the quantitative and qualitative criteria applicable to the particular project.

The Law Offices have many years of practical experience in proceedings concerning the obtaining of Decisions on Support, particularly before Kostrzyńsko-Słubicka Special Economic Zone S.A. Our experience extends beyond knowledge of the applicable legal provisions. It also encompasses practical knowledge of the procedures, the specific manner in which the Zone operates, documentation requirements, methods of conducting correspondence, principles for presenting investment projects and the course of administrative proceedings leading to the issuance of a positive decision.

As part of our services, the Law Offices handle the entire process from A to Z. This means that we do not limit our role to the formal preparation of an application. We actively participate throughout the entire procedure — from initial meetings with the Investor, through analysing the investment assumptions and verifying eligibility for support, identifying the required documents and information, and preparing the application, required forms, statements and business plan, through to representing the Investor, handling correspondence, participating in meetings, providing explanations and continuously coordinating the matter.

The essence of the services provided by the Law Offices is to take over from the Investor the legal, formal and organisational burden associated with the procedure for obtaining a Decision on Support. In practice, this means that the Investor receives not merely a set of documents, but comprehensive case management, ongoing advice, communication with the Zone, supervision of the proceedings and support in making decisions that may affect the security and effectiveness of the entire process. The Law Offices ensure that the project is presented in a complete, coherent, compelling and legally compliant manner, while also reflecting the practical requirements and standards applied by the relevant institutions in such proceedings.

Particular importance should be attached to the stage preceding the submission of the application. This is when the investment project needs to be properly structured, including its scope, value, timetable, cost structure, planned employment, business assumptions and the documentation that will form the basis for the subsequent proceedings. At this stage, the Law Offices analyse the planned investment, identify potential risks, indicate elements requiring further development and present the Investor with a possible course of action, so that the procedure can be initiated in a considered, secure and as effective a manner as possible.

Initial consultations aimed at discussing the planned investment, assessing its scope, value and timetable, and verifying the basic eligibility requirements for obtaining a Decision on Support are provided free of charge. These consultations allow the Investor, at an early stage, to obtain a practical assessment of the project, understand the potential conditions for obtaining support and determine what steps should be taken to prepare properly for the entire procedure.

The Law Offices support both Polish entities and foreign investors for whom obtaining a Decision on Support under the Polish Investment Zone often constitutes one of the key factors in deciding where to locate an investment in Poland. In such matters, the Law Offices provide not only legal services, but also practical coordination of the process, including communication with the competent Zone, cooperation with sworn translators, tax advisers, accountants, notaries, property management entities and other participants in the investment process, where required by the nature of the project.

The Law Offices’ many years of experience in matters concerning the Polish Investment Zone enable us to conduct proceedings efficiently, responsibly and with a clear focus on achieving a tangible result. We understand the importance of time in investment processes. For this reason, from the outset of our cooperation, we establish with the Investor the documents, information and actions necessary for the proper preparation of the matter and then actively coordinate the procedure until the decision is issued.

Over the years, the Law Offices have obtained exclusively positive Decisions on Support under the Polish Investment Zone for projects carried out by Clients whose combined value exceeded PLN 1 billion. This is the strongest confirmation of the Law Offices’ practical experience, knowledge of the relevant procedures and effectiveness in handling investment matters requiring not only legal expertise, but also a sound understanding of business, the investment process and the expectations of entrepreneurs planning to expand their operations in Poland.
