Acting as an attorney in the context of the Polish Register of Beneficial Owners (CRBR in Poland)

We encourage you to read the press article published in Rzeczpospolita on 16.01.2020 by Dr. Jan Muszyński from our Legal Team, in which he questions the official interpretation of the Polish Ministry of Finance, according to which the notification to the CRBR-Register in Poland shall only be made by the Management Board of the affected companies. In opinion of Dr. Muszyński, such interpretation is not justified either in the 4th AML EU Directive or in the provisions of the Polish law. Congratulations for courage to present publicly a legal opinion different from the official government's statements. We will ask the Polish Ministry of Finance for clarification of this matter to make possibly the life of thousands of Polish companies just a little bit easier.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Constitutional Week in Poznań

We know that civic education is very important, which is why Dr Jan Muszyński took part in the Constitutional Week organized by the Association named after Professor Zbigniew Hołda and conducted workshops for students of the 19th Technical Secondary School in Poznań on the limits of freedom of speech and counteracting the speech of hate.

Ai Weiwei at the initiative of our law firm in discussion at VBKI

In the summer, the Chinese star artist Ai Weiwei, who has been living in exile in Berlin since 2015, had announced in public that he wanted to leave Germany. Reason: Germany is not an open society. There is hardly any room for open debates, no respect for dissenting voices. German culture is so strong that it does not really accept other ideas and arguments. On 13th October 2019, Henning von Zanthier moderated the discussion between Ai Weiwei and the Chinese poet Yang Lian about the influence of art and culture on politics and society at the oldest German business blub, VBKI, which got to the bottom of this assertion. Ai Weiwei said after the discussion: "This was the most meaningful discussion, I ever had."
