ATTORNEY-AT-LAW
TOMASZ WEKWART
I have a hands-on approach to legal aspects of modern businesses and am dedicated to crafting solutions for companies keen on the CEE markets. My core strength lies in understanding the legal dimensions of new technologies and online ventures, especially in areas like taxation, IP, and TMT. I also guide businesses through the maze of food and medtech regulations, ensuring their online operations and products align with EU standards.
As a business lawyer with a practical mindset, I draw upon my deep knowledge in finance and tax law. This encompasses areas like VAT, company income tax (CIT), transfer pricing, and effective strategies to navigate cross-border taxes. My experiences with leading law firms, BIG4 consulting groups, and comprehensive training empower me to offer advice that’s legally sound and business-smart. When needed, I reinforce this advice by securing the right tax interpretations.
Currently, I’m particularly excited about assisting fast-growing businesses in the food & medtech sectors, as well as those leaning heavily into IP. I’m convinced these sectors are set to reshape our everyday lives and our environment.
In course of our actions we rely on our devoted and highly skilled team of associates, attorney-at-law apprentices and of counsels network – to deliver most effective services within our specialties.
