Marta, Senior Payroll Specialist

„The webinars you have hosted, which I have had the opportunity to attend on several occasions, have always been interesting and have offered a fresh perspective on well-worn, established assumptions (e.g. regarding the Company Social Benefits Fund).”

Justyna, HR Business Partner

„I am delighted to have been able to take part in the conference – all the events organised by your firm are very well prepared; beside the substantive content, there is also a room for smiling – which means you can take part without ever feeling bored. That is why I am not surprised that the Working Time 2023 Conference proved to be a huge success. It couldn't have been any other way.”

Teresa, HR Director

„Łukasz, thank you very much for your excellent work and for the great news; we congratulate the law firm on its victory in this battle.”

Andrzej, Financial Director

„It really is a huge amount of work to sort everything out, and I have to say once again that it's a brilliantly written legal document! I know, I know – as the one paying the bills, I shouldn't be praising it, but rather finding fault with something to delay the payment, but...”

Jacek, CFO

„It is a wonderful feeling to know that I have the honour of working with you – decent and deeply compassionate people, who are capable of showing such tremendous solidarity in the face of this tragedy...”

Anna, In-house attorney-at-law

„In terms of content, the legal document is of the highest standard and raises no objections whatsoever. You have thoroughly refuted the opponent's claims! Thank you very much!”

Anna, In-house attorney-at-law

„I would like to take this opportunity to say that your publications, comments, and numerous resources form a veritable compendium of knowledge – they are both fascinating and extremely useful. I am a regular follower of your work and publications, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone interested.”

Renata, HR Director

„Nevertheless, I would like to thank you once again – you have treated me to a thoroughly enjoyable experience of listening to a clear, elegant, and sophisticated presentation of substantively important issues. It is almost like engaging with literature, in the form of audio.”
