Success of DWF Poland lawyers - outstanding victory in complex commercial dispute

29 October 2024

Success of DWF Poland lawyers from the Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Department – an outstanding victory in a complex commercial dispute

DWF Poland lawyers, headed by Michał Szumbarski, advocate and counsel in the Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Department, with the support of Przemysław Budny advocate and associate in the Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Department, successfully represented Mostostal Warszawa S.A., securing a favorable outcome and final resolution of a dispute with one of its contractors. The contractor had filed a lawsuit against Mostostal Warszawa S.A., related to a contract for the execution of a specialized installation in a construction project.

Thanks to the litigation strategy developed by Michał Szumbarski, the claim against Mostostal Warszawa S.A. was rejected in its entirety by the court of first instance, and which the litigation opponent has been unable to successfully argue before the Court of Appeal. Due to an effective legal defense conducted by DWF's lawyers, the duration of the dispute, from the filing of the claim to the final resolution of the case, was limited to four years. This is rare in the context of such complex cases brought before the Polish courts and represents a very swift resolution, effectively eliminating the associated litigation risk for the client.

Mostostal Warszawa S.A. is one of the largest construction companies in Poland. The company's presence of more than seven decades in the construction market has resulted in the completion of investments in all key segments of the domestic and European construction market. In its operations, the company combines a long tradition of Polish engineering combined with professional organization and extensive use of state-of-the-art technologies. Mostostal Warszawa is listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange.
