The firm

Partner-led, by design

Rydel & Lange was founded in Wrocław in 2011 to advise companies on the matters that carry real weight — transactions, contracts, disputes and restructurings. We keep the firm small on purpose: the partner you meet is the partner who does the work.

Partner-led

A partner stays on every matter from the first call to closing — not only at the pitch.

Commercial judgement

We weigh legal risk against the deal in front of you, and say plainly when something is not worth fighting.

Fees agreed upfront

Fixed fees or capped estimates before work begins, so the invoice never comes as a surprise.

Discreet by default.

Our approach

Boards bring us matters long before they become public. What you tell us stays with the people who need to know it — and nowhere else.

Good business advice is rarely about what the law allows. It is about what the client can actually carry out on Monday morning.

Fluent in Polish and German business.

Cross-border

Many of our clients are German and Austrian companies operating in Poland. We work in their language and to their reporting rhythm, alongside their counsel at home.

How we work

A clear path from first call to closing

  1. Initial call

    A partner reviews the situation, the documents and what you need to achieve — usually within one business day.

  2. Scope and fee

    You receive a written scope, a timeline and a fixed fee or capped estimate before any work starts.

  3. Execution

    We draft, negotiate or litigate, with short written updates at every milestone.

  4. After closing

    We stay on for post-completion items, board questions and the next transaction.

FAQ

Questions clients ask first

Who do you typically act for?

Owner-managed companies, mid-market groups and foreign investors operating in Poland — from founders preparing a first investment round to boards facing a dispute or a restructuring.

How do you charge?

Transactional work is usually quoted as a fixed fee or a capped estimate. Ongoing advisory work can run on a monthly retainer, and disputes on an agreed budget for each stage.

Can you work in English or German?

Yes. All of our lawyers work in English, and the firm advises German-speaking clients in German. Documents can be prepared in bilingual versions where a transaction requires it.

Do you act outside Wrocław?

Yes. We advise clients across Poland, appear before courts and arbitral tribunals nationwide, and work with trusted counsel abroad on cross-border matters.

How quickly can you start?

Every new enquiry is answered within one business day. Urgent matters — an injunction, a signing deadline — can usually be picked up the same day.
