Christa Pike Survived Her Own Execution. Does the Death Penalty Serve Any Purpose?
Tennessee gave Christa Pike two doses of pentobarbital and failed to kill her. In the night of September...
A dispute with the tax authority is an unequal fight. We level it with procedure: from the first audit step to appeals before administrative courts and the CJEU.
The tax system does not forgive mistakes; their cost falls on the taxpayer. We help you pay what is due and no more: compliance, tax opinions, advance rulings.
When assets, liberty and reputation are at stake, preparation decides. Defence in fiscal and white-collar criminal cases, civil litigation, shareholder disputes.
Commercial bookkeeping and outsourcing of HR and payroll services. Audits and accounting reviews. Tax returns. Income Tax and VAT Acts, the Accounting Act, and employment law.
Few fortunes survive the third generation, and that is not fate but the absence of a plan. Family foundations, succession, foreign companies, tax residency, private banking.
Learning from your own mistakes costs more than a business can afford. Ongoing legal counsel, contracts, transactions and structures that put out disputes before they arise.
Where regulation chases technology, delay costs you the licence. We guide you through MiCA and CASP authorisation, crypto taxation, AML and the AI Act.
The rankings published by Dziennik Gazeta Prawna (2023, 2024, 2025) and Rzeczpospolita (2025) place us amongst the largest consultancy firms in Poland. But rankings are merely statistics - the true measure of our effectiveness is the cases we have won for our clients, the assets we have protected from unlawful enforcement, and the businesses we have saved from the consequences of erroneous administrative decisions.
Since 2006, we have been advising business owners at every stage of a company’s life cycle: from choosing the legal form of the business, through day-to-day corporate and accounting services, to restructuring and succession planning. We operate in Poland and abroad, within both simple and complex structures, handling both routine matters and those without precedent.
We handle cases where assets, freedom and reputation are at stake. We represent clients in tax and customs audits, in disputes with the tax authorities, and in criminal and fiscal criminal proceedings before courts at all levels.
We know that a board member’s liability can extend to their personal assets. That a single disputed invoice can trigger a flood of proceedings. That the line between tax optimisation and tax evasion is often a matter of interpretation, not facts. Our role is to stand between our client and these risks — to anticipate them, minimise them and, should they materialise, to effectively counter them.
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.
