BUILD Q4 2026 Best Real Estate & M&A Legal Advice Provider 2026 – Poland & Cross-Border Legal Expertise Leadership Award 2026 – Poland LS-CORPORATE Legal Szermach has been advising businesses across Poland for more than 20 years, placing a particular focus on commercial, real estate, and M&A transactions. The law firm primarily serves property owners, investors, developers, and companies active in the office and logistics real estate sectors, as well as advising clients on corporate and commercial law, ongoing corporate matters, and complex corporate disputes. Following LS-CORPORATE Legal Szermach’s recent recognition in the Real Estate and Property Awards 2026, we spoke with Managing Partner Maciej Szermach for more. Located in Wrocław, LS-CORPORATE Legal Szermach’s practice encompasses an array of legal services, with real estate transactions forming a substantial part of the firm’s work. The team advises clients throughout the entire transaction lifecycle, from comprehensive legal due diligence and transaction structuring, through to the negotiation and preparation of transaction documentation, to the execution and closing of complex real estate sale and purchase transactions. This focus is deeply rooted in Maciej Szermach’s own professional experience, shaped to a significant extent by his earlier work at an international law firm. Involved in a number of major real estate projects and working on complex transactions, Maciej was given the opportunity to understand the sector not only from a legal perspective but also from a broader commercial and transactional standpoint. He found his experience in conducting legal due diligence and negotiating complex real estate sale and purchase agreements to be especially formative for his development. “In transactions of this nature, a lawyer must look beyond the documents themselves,” he shared. “The real value of legal advice lies in the ability to identify potential risks, assess their actual significance from an investor’s perspective, and translate those risks into clear and effective contractual solutions. This transactional experience has become the foundation of our firm’s real estate practice and continues to shape the way we advise our clients today.” Integrity and reliability lie at the heart of this practice. LS-CORPORATE Legal Szermach believes that trust between a lawyer and a client is built through consistency, transparency, responsibility, and the quality of advice. The firm asserts that clients should feel confident that their legal counsel not only possesses a thorough understanding of the law, but also takes the time to understand their business, investment objectives, and the risks inherent in each strategic decision. This is especially important in the field of commercial real estate transactions. These are often high-value projects involving multiple parties, complex considerations, and the need to make difficult decisions within tight timeframes. The role of legal counsel is, therefore, not simply to identify legal issues but to anticipate them, address potential obstacles at an early stage, and recommend solutions that best support the client’s objectives. This is precisely the service that LS-CORPORATE Legal Szermach strives to deliver with each client engagement. “Experience, reliability, accountability, responsiveness, and trust are not marketing slogans for us. They are the principles that guide the way we work every day.” Looking ahead, LS-CORPORATE Legal Szermach’s priority is to continue developing the areas in which it has built the strongest expertise and earned the greatest trust of its clients: commercial real estate, M&A transactions, and corporate law. With this in mind, the firm does not seek to grow simply for the sake of growth; LS-CORPORATE Legal Szermach intends to preserve the high standards of work and the individual approach to client service that have always been central to its practice. Maciej commented: “For us, this is not only a matter of principle; it is also fundamental to the reputation we have built over the years.” The remainder of 2026 promises to be particularly interesting in this respect. The real estate market remains demanding, while at the same time offering significant opportunities for investors who are able to assess risk carefully and identify the potential in individual assets. LS-CORPORATE Legal Szermach is currently involved in several major projects involving comprehensive legal due diligence of commercial real estate, and the firm continues to maintain a strong pace of activity. “If I were to identify one direction that is particularly important to us, it would be the continued development of the firm as a longterm business partner to our clients, rather than simply a provider of legal services,” Maciej concluded. “I believe that, in our profession, this approach will become increasingly important in the years ahead. Ultimately, clients are looking not only for legal expertise, but for advisers who understand their business, know their objectives, and can stand alongside them as those objectives evolve.” Contact: Maciej Szermach LL.M.
