Corporate law — ongoing support for businesses

Law City law firm in Katowice — supporting companies across Silesia and online throughout Poland.

Corporate law is a company's everyday reality — from the company agreement and resolutions, through changes at the National Court Register (KRS), to disputes between shareholders. We provide ongoing support for companies in Katowice and across Silesia, in plain language and with practice in mind.

What does ongoing corporate support involve?

Corporate law is the branch of law governing the formation, operation and dissolution of companies. It sets out the rules for drafting the company agreement, the powers of its governing bodies, the rights and obligations of shareholders, and the procedure for reporting changes to the National Court Register (KRS). Ongoing corporate support covers legal advice that accompanies a company's day-to-day operations — from preparing resolutions, through updating registry data, to support with disputes between shareholders.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to set up a limited liability company?
A limited liability company can be registered through the S24 online system using a ready-made template agreement — often within a few business days, though the actual timing depends on the registry court's workload. If the agreement needs individual provisions, it must be signed before a notary, which extends the process by the time needed for the notary appointment and for the National Court Register (KRS) to review the application.
Does every change in a company have to be reported to the National Court Register (KRS)?
Reporting is required for changes to data disclosed in the register — for example, a change in the management board, registered office, company name, or share capital. The application is filed electronically through the Court Registers Portal. The act on the KRS generally sets a 7-day deadline from the event giving rise to the entry, although specific provisions may set different deadlines for certain events.
What should be done when shareholders can't reach an agreement?
The first step is to check what the company agreement and the Polish Commercial Companies Code provide — often the solution follows directly from provisions on voting rules or a shareholder's exit from the company. When a conflict blocks the company from operating, court steps may come into play, including a request to exclude a shareholder or dissolve the company. The choice of remedy depends on the type of company and the circumstances of the specific case.
