In this episode:
(1) LAW: Dr ANNA KULIŃSKA, Senior Associate, Wardyński & Partners expert from the Tax Practice who coordinates the State Aid Group (see: www.wardynski.com.pl), explains what conditions must be met by foreign subsidies for the companies investing within the European Union (EU), including in Poland.
Anna advises in Wardyński & Partners on state aid and assists clients in raising financial support from Polish and foreign sources. In M&A transactions, she examines whether the conditions for receipt of state aid have been met and maintained.
(2) BUSINESS: KONRAD GROTOWSKI, attorney-at-law, partner in charge of Wardyński & Partners Restructuring & Bankruptcy Practice (see: www.wardynski.com.pl), talks about the problem of foreign investors treating Poland, in connection with the war in Ukraine, as a “frontline country”, which adversely affects Poland by lowering the level of foreign investment. He explains why, despite the war, Poland is safe and, paradoxically, the war has even improved Poland's geopolitical situation.
