    Communication in English and Russian

    Attorney Cezary Fiolna is fluent in English and Russian, which allows legal matters to be handled without the need for interpreters or intermediaries. Clients can freely discuss their legal situation, ask questions and make informed decisions throughout the process.

    Transparent cooperation and clear information about costs

    Many clients hesitate to contact a lawyer due to uncertainty about legal costs or how the process will unfold. That is why we begin every cooperation with a careful legal assessment and discussion of possible strategies.

    Client trust

    Clients of CF Legal frequently highlight three aspects of our cooperation:

    • efficient communication,
    • clear explanation of legal matters,
    • genuine commitment to their case.

    These elements often lead to long-term cooperation with entrepreneurs operating in Poland.

    Project 1

    Successful debt recovery for an Eastern European company

    A non-EU foreign company was defrauded by a Polish contractor who accepted payment but failed to deliver the goods. We prepared the claim, compiled all evidence and secured full payment of the outstanding amount.

    Project 2

    Locating a debtor and conducting proceedings based on foreign law

    A non-EU national took out loans abroad and then escaped to Poland, deceiving the lenders. Relying on foreign law, we drafted the lawsuit, identified the debtor's address and successfully brought the case before a Polish court.

    Project 3

    Entry into the Polish market for a foreign energy enterprise

    For an EU-based energy company, we managed the full market-entry process: obtaining a licence for fuel trading in Poland and abroad and providing comprehensive regulatory support.

    Project 4

    Efficient debt recovery while saving the client time and costs

    A Serbian company intended to sue a Polish debtor. Instead of immediately filing a lawsuit, we conducted a preliminary analysis to determine the most efficient course of action. This allowed us to identify an ongoing restructuring proceeding (in its final stage). Despite very short deadlines, we acted swiftly and ensured the client's claim was included in the restructuring plan — avoiding costly and lengthy litigation.

    Project 5

    Recovery of a substantial deposit for undelivered luxury furniture

    A foreign resident of Warsaw paid a high deposit for luxury furniture, which was never produced, and communication with the contractor was cut off. We facilitated contract termination, filed the case with the court and obtained a decision awarding the full amount — all within just two weeks.

    Project 6

    Ongoing legal and tax support for a company managed by foreigners

    We provided comprehensive civil, criminal and tax advisory services to a Polish company managed by foreign nationals that had fallen victim to fraud. We ensured legal security and initiated measures to recover the lost funds while minimising future risks.

    Project 7

    Recovery of goods unjustifiably seized by customs authorities

    We have repeatedly assisted EU freight companies in cases involving unjustified seizure of goods by Polish customs authorities. We succeeded in securing the release of goods threatened with confiscation and in obtaining discontinuation of unfounded criminal proceedings.
