Janusz Tomczak together with his Business Crime & Compliance Team, has become a substantive partner of the prestigious Chambers publication  „White Collar Crime 2020” Global Practice Guide. Our lawyers have compiled issues related to white collar crimes and corporate liability  in Poland.

This publication presents views, opinions, and  key information on  criminal liability principles of  white collar crimes,  as well as the impact of the management board members’ liability  on the legal situation and liability of companies.

The authors also discuss  trends, developments  and new changes ahead in Polish criminal law in the field of commercial law and compliance; holding law; and issues related to internal investigations.

All significant criminal law institutions were described in a clear way, including what crimes and offenses are known to Polish law, what are the rules of criminal liability and what penalties can be imposed by Polish courts.

This publication also discusses the principles  of foreigners' liability, which is important in the context of employees holding management  positions, mainly in international capital groups. 

Our lawyers note that due to the lack of an effective corporate liability system,  managers bear  the greatest risk of criminal liability in many areas of economic activity.
