Our Christmas donation for this year

As well as last year instead of Christmas cards for partners and clients, we donated for a good cause: This year our Berlin office donates 1000 € to the Freya von Moltke Foundation for the New Kreisau, - which supports the work of the German-Polish youth meeting place in the Polish village of Krzyżowa.

A Partner of our law office in Poznań takes advantage of the remarkable, donating friendly Polish tax provision, which facilitates to donate 1 % of Polish tax for „Wielka Orkiestra Świątecznej Pomocy“ ("The Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity"), which supports Polish hospitals with medical equipment.

We became involved in the initiative of "BusinessWoman & Life" magazine to support Ewa Blaszczyk's foundation "Akogo?". The attorney at law Karolina Barałkiewicz-Sokal,  partner in our law firm, gave an interview for the book "50 Business Personalities", in which she talked about the beginnings of her involvement in ecological projects and in promoting renewable energy sources, as well as about children's volunteering, in which she has been active for many years, and about the framework created by Polish law for charitable activities.

The premiere of the book, which took place at a gala event on 18 June in Warsaw, was accompanied by a charity auction, the proceeds from which will go to the account of the foundation "Akogo?".

Akogo?" foundation is a Polish non-governmental organisation dealing with systemic solution of problems of people in coma. It has realised a number of campaigns educating the society on the problems of people in coma. It initiated and developed, together with the Ministry of Health, the Programme of treatment of children in coma in stage B. The foundation "Akogo?" built the clinic "Budzik" - the first rehabilitation centre for children in coma in our country.
