COMMON ISSUES

What goes wrong when companies enter the EU

The companies that struggle with EU market entry aren’t the ones that did nothing. They’re the ones that treated entity, hiring, contracts, and privacy as separate workstreams.

Your incorporation gets ahead of your operations You incorporate in Poland in two weeks and then spend three months unable to open a bank account, hire, or invoice. The structure was correct on paper; nothing else followed.
We sequence entity, banking, hiring, and contracts so each step unblocks the next, not so you discover the dependencies after the fact.
Your US legal stack doesn't translate to Polish or EU operations US offer letters, US-style DPAs, US contract templates, US AI compliance posture - none of them survive contact with EU customers, EU employees, or EU regulators.
We rebuild your legal stack for EU operations — contracts, hiring, privacy, AI compliance without forcing you to learn EU law you don't need to learn.
You're getting fragmented advice from too many firms A Polish corporate firm for the entity, a separate boutique for privacy, an EOR for hiring, a UK firm for contracts — nothing connects, nothing scales, everything takes three calls.
We act as your one EU legal partner across the full market entry stack — entity, hiring, contracts, privacy, AI, AML with a single accountable contact.

Mateusz Sawaryn

What satisfies me most is building solutions that let new technologies and modern businesses grow despite legal constraints, not because of them. I work with IT and innovation-driven companies on services, products, and operating models that are compliant and, more importantly, that actually work for the business. I bring a creative approach, real understanding of the industry, and a partnership mindset with clients. What inspires me is working through problems with people, the way a good soccer team plays: constant communication, real teamwork, and everyone moving toward the same goal.

WHO THIS IS FOR

OUTCOMES

what you can expect

We don’t sell hours of legal work. We sell the operational outcomes US companies actually need to run in the EU. Here’s what those look like in practice.

Faster EU launch

You go from US-headquartered to EU-operational in weeks, not quarters, with no parked workstreams.

One accountable contact

A single team for entity, hiring, privacy, AI, contracts, and AML, not a vendor rolodex.

Lower regulatory exposure

Less GDPR, AML, AI Act, and Polish-law risk across the stack, by design.

Predictable, fixed-fee work

You know what each phase costs before it starts. No open-ended billing, no surprise invoices.

Investor- and exit-ready

Your EU operations stand up under VC due diligence, M&A diligence, and regulator inquiry.

YOU OFTEN ASK

FAQ

Most questions come down to two things – what applies, and who’s personally liable. Here are the answers we give most often.

Poland is our home jurisdiction and the typical entry point we recommend for US companies (cost, talent, tax). For pan-EU work, we coordinate with vetted partners across the EU and stay your single accountable contact. You don’t deal with five firms; you deal with us.

Yes — and we usually do. We coordinate with your US tax counsel on CFC, GILTI, and treaty positioning. We coordinate with your US general counsel on cross-jurisdictional contract architecture. We don’t replace your US team; we extend it.

Six to twelve weeks for the core stack (entity, banking, GDPR baseline, first contracts) once we start. Faster if you already have an entity or some pieces in place. Slower if regulated activity (AML, fintech licensing, AI Act high-risk) is involved.

Most engagements begin with a short call – typically 20-30 minutes – where we establish the legal question, the business context, and what you need. From there, we’ll propose a scope and timeline. You don’t need to have the legal question fully formed before reaching out.
