How to Verify Contact with Law Firm Skarbiec
Protecting Our Clients
Kancelaria Prawna Skarbiec is a team of licensed legal counsels (radcowie prawni) and tax advisors with over twenty years of experience in tax law, corporate structures, and cross-border advisory. We serve individual and corporate clients from over a dozen countries. We publish more than one hundred expert articles per year. We hold top positions in the tax law firm rankings of Dziennik Gazeta Prawna, Poland’s leading legal daily.
A brand that takes two decades to build inevitably becomes a target for those who cannot build one themselves. The recognition and trust that Kancelaria Skarbiec commands in the tax advisory market have led criminals to attempt to use our name to lend credibility to their own operations. Below, we explain how clients and prospective clients can securely verify that they are communicating with our team — and how to recognize unauthorized use of our brand.
Why we publish this information
We treat the security of client communications with the same rigor as the confidentiality of the matters we handle. As a firm specializing in tax disputes and crisis advisory for entrepreneurs, we understand that trust is a currency that is hard to earn and easy to lose.
We have received reports from clients and third parties that unknown individuals are initiating contact while invoking the Kancelaria Skarbiec name. This practice — known in security literature as an impersonation scam or recovery scam — has no connection to our firm’s operations. It is, however — paradoxically — indirect evidence of a brand whose reputation someone considers worth stealing.
Official contact channels
Kancelaria Prawna Skarbiec — a team of legal counsels and tax advisors led by Robert Nogacki (licensed legal counsel, WA-9026) — communicates with clients exclusively through the following channels:
Website: kancelaria-skarbiec.pl
Email: addresses in the @kancelaria-skarbiec.pl domain
Phone: numbers listed on kancelaria-skarbiec.pl
Office: ul. Maciejki 13, 02-181 Warsaw, Poland
We do not communicate with clients via WhatsApp, Telegram, or SMS. We do not acquire clients through social media. We do not contact individuals who are not our clients with proposals to recover funds lost in investments. We never have and never will.
How to recognize unauthorized use of our brand
Based on the reports we systematically document, the most common patterns are as follows:
Unsolicited contact. You receive a message via WhatsApp, SMS, or phone from someone claiming to represent the firm, even though you have never been our client or contacted us. Kancelaria Skarbiec has been building client relationships for over twenty years — but always at the client’s invitation, never the other way around.
Promise to recover lost funds. The caller claims they can help recover money lost in investments or on cryptocurrency exchanges. This is the classic pattern of a recovery scam — a secondary fraud targeting individuals who have already suffered financial losses.
Time pressure. Insistence on immediate action, suggestions that “funds will be redirected” or “the deadline is expiring.” Genuine legal advice requires time for analysis — a firm that pressures you into a quick decision is not acting in your interest.
Upfront payment to a private account. Kancelaria Skarbiec issues VAT invoices from a corporate bank account. A request to transfer funds to a personal or foreign account should be an immediate red flag.
Unverifiable identity. Robert Nogacki is a licensed legal counsel registered with the Warsaw Bar under number WA-9026 — this registration is publicly verifiable. Every member of our team can be identified through official channels. A refusal to provide verifiable credentials means the person you are speaking with is not one of us.
What is a recovery scam
A recovery scam is a scheme in which criminals target individuals who have previously lost money through other frauds — investment fraud, cryptocurrency fraud, trading platform fraud. They impersonate law firms, debt recovery companies, or “fund recovery specialists” in order to extract further payments or personal data.
This type of fraud is particularly insidious because it exploits trust in legal institutions and the desperation of people seeking help. As a firm that has advised clients on crypto-asset matters and investment fraud cases for years — and that has represented victims in the WGI case, one of Poland’s largest financial scandals, since 2006 — we understand how deep the wounds of lost savings run and how easily those who have been harmed once become targets again.

What to do if in doubt
Contact us directly. Call the number listed on kancelaria-skarbiec.pl or write to an email address in the @kancelaria-skarbiec.pl domain. We will confirm or deny whether the person in question is a member of our team. We do this quickly — because we know that in situations like these, time matters.
Do not share personal data with anyone whose identity you have not verified through official channels.
Do not transfer any funds based on contact that you did not initiate yourself.
Report the attempt. If you have received a suspicious contact, you can report it directly to us — we will help document the incident and, where warranted, report it to the relevant law enforcement authorities. Documentation of such cases strengthens the legal position of all those affected.

Client Reviews — Why Entrepreneurs Choose Law Firm Skarbiec

Corporate Services
A defect in convening a shareholders' meeting or in representing the company can invalidate a resolution or trigger the board's personal liability. We run day-to-day corporate matters and draft contracts and internal rules.
Robert Nogacki is a Polish attorney at law (radca prawny), the founder and managing partner of Kancelaria Prawna Skarbiec (Skarbiec Law Firm), which has operated continuously since 2006.
The law is equal for everyone, but the parties rarely are: on one side stands an organization with time, money, and lawyers, on the other a person with one business, one nest egg, and one life.
Clients rarely come to him with a legal problem. They come with a problem that also has a legal side: an audit that began with a single invoice, money entrusted to someone who has disappeared, a company that has to be passed on before it is too late. Most such matters are decided long before the first letter is written, in decisions made without asking and in deadlines nobody remembered. So he begins by asking how the client got here, not what the client should have done.
He advises entrepreneurs and families from more than a dozen countries, including those whose accounts the tax office has just seized and who do not know what to do tomorrow morning. He defends them in tax audits, customs and fiscal inspections, disputes with the tax authorities, and criminal tax proceedings. He represents victims of investment fraud and Ponzi schemes. He helps families set up family foundations and plan succession, so that a life’s work outlasts a single generation.
Not every case can be won. Every case can be run so that the client knows where they stand. Since 2006 he has represented the victims in the WGI case (Warszawska Grupa Inwestycyjna, the Warsaw Investment Group), one of the longest criminal cases in the history of the Polish financial market, because some things must not be left half finished, even when they take two decades. In the case of the collapsed cryptocurrency exchange Zonda (Zondacrypto, operated by BB Trade Estonia OÜ), he represents several hundred victims in the criminal investigation conducted by Poland’s National Prosecutor’s Office and in the Estonian bankruptcy proceedings.
Kancelaria Prawna Skarbiec is listed in the rankings of Poland’s largest tax advisory firms published by Dziennik Gazeta Prawna and Rzeczpospolita, and it is a four-time recipient (2015 to 2018) of the European Medal awarded by the Business Centre Club and the European Economic and Social Committee. Robert Nogacki publishes regularly, in the press and on the firm’s website, for people who have a problem rather than a law degree, because a legal opinion the client cannot understand protects only the lawyer.
He believes that the best legal advice is the kind that means the client never has to appear in court.
