Chambers FinTech 2026 for Kochański & Partners
Fintech is not a place for theorists. It’s a world where algorithms outpace regulations and business decisions are made in fractions of a second. To advise effectively in this field, you need to understand technology as well as know the law. You also need to skilfully combine hard regulatory knowledge with business pragmatism. Thanks to their latest recognition in the Chambers FinTech 2026 ranking, the lawyers at Kochański & Partners now have further proof that excel in both areas.
The NewTech Practice team at Kochański & Partners is a precisely designed mechanism that skilfully combines regulations with real-world transactions, constantly strengthening and expanding its expertise.
The practice has people on board who:
- Work in a project-based manner and understand Agile methodology
- Combine expertise in areas such as IP, IT, Cyber and GDPR– thanks to this, we are able to provide comprehensive services for mergers and acquisitions of technology companies (NewTech M&A)
- Are present where the future is born – from mentoring start-ups to advising banking giants
This is a team that, as our Clients say, “is always keen” – to search, dig deep, try things out and deliver solutions.

The world we live in today is facing challenges for which there are no easy answers. The climate crisis, social inequalities and the need for energy and economic transformation force us all to outside our comfort zones.
They require courage, vision, and above all, consistency.
Kochański & Partners does not question whether businesses should take responsibility for the planet. Nor does it ponder the timing of change. Instead, it takes action and does what needs to be done.
Further proof that the firm’s philosophy of being architects of a better reality is becoming a reality is its recent recognition at the Social Impact EMEA Awards 2025, where it was named Law Firm of the Year EMEA in the Climate Justice Firm of the Year category.

An effective strategy and success of Kochański & Partners in the Benchmark Litigation 2025 ranking
As members of the European community, what we need today is a sense of agency, power, strength and effectiveness. In order to be heard, we must speak with one voice. Boldly and decisively.
‘United in diversity’ is Europe’s motto, and, on a micro scale, it is also the best description of Kochański & Partners’ litigation strategy.
In an increasingly tense world full of geopolitical and economic challenges, success will go to those who can combine multiple perspectives and translate them into one strong, decisive voice. Into concrete arguments and effective reasoning.
It is precisely this approach that has earned the Firm a place in the Benchmark Litigation 2025 ranking as one of Poland’s top litigation firms.

Kochański & Partners recognised as Highly commended by The Lawyer European Awards 2025
The war in Ukraine has forced Europe to embark on an energy revolution. Until recently, nuclear energy was viewed with considerable scepticism, but it has now become one of the most important elements of security and a pillar of transformation across the continent. The construction of Poland’s first nuclear power plant is now recognised as being of key importance to Poland and the EU in ensuring secure energy supplies at stable, predictable prices.
The energy transition is an unprecedented opportunity that comes once in a generation. It offers a significant opportunity for dynamic development and represents a significant leap forward for many sectors of the economy and Polish businesses. Thanks to green energy from nuclear power and renewable energy sources, it is an opportunity for millions of people to live longer and healthier lives. And in the long term, this will be a real opportunity for the environment and nature to take a deep, fresh breath. We all deserve it.
In Poland, an additional component has emerged that is now particularly important. In the context of changing global geopolitics, the concepts of ‘Local First’ and ‘repolonisation’ of the economy are gaining significance. The involvement of Polish companies in public procurement and large-scale investment is now seen as a patriotic duty and in the national interest.
The Polish Nuclear Power Plant project aligns perfectly with this philosophy. As a nation, we are establishing our energy security based on clean, stable nuclear power, thereby contributing to the decarbonisation of the energy sector. Kochański & Partners has advised on this transition project since 2022 and its expertise has been recognised internationally. For example, the firm received the Highly Commended title in the European Energy Transition of the Year category at The Lawyer European Awards 2025.

Unfortunately, the depletion of resources and associated climate change are clearly visible and tangible processes. Therefore, businesses are already working on specific solutions. Because today, the only answer is systematic and bold action based on laws that will drive positive transformation.
That is why Kochański & Partners has joined the United Legals for Good initiative, created by the United Nations Global Compact Network Poland. This unique coalition comprises law firms and consulting companies that are committed to the UN’s 2030 Agenda.
Its mission is simple: to use the knowledge, authority and experience of the participating lawyers to develop proposals for sound legislation that will help Poland achieve the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and implement key United Nations conventions and standards.
The lawyers at Kochański & Partners are taking on the role of national leader in the areas of the circular economy and extended producer responsibility (EPR), and will support the development of both good practices and the most transparent processes possible. This is because they have been working closely with innovative, environmentally conscious companies for years.
