• Marcin Barczyk, LL.M.
  Advocate, Partner at KBZ 

   

  Marcin has long-standing experience advising Italian investors in Poland and Central Europe. He completed the Scuola di Diritto Italiano ed Europeo at the University of Warsaw and spent nearly two years in Italy under the Erasmus and Leonardo da Vinci Placement programmes. 

  He also undertook professional legal training at Studio Legale e Tributario Abbatescianni in Milan and Rome, gaining practical expertise in Italian corporate, commercial and procedural matters (as confirmed in the internship certificates and evaluations).

   

  Marcin also worked on an international project in Zurich for a financial institution, where he supported cross-border due diligence conducted partly in the Italian language.

   

  Today he advises numerous Italian companies on market entry, corporate and commercial law, M&A, HR, tax and compliance, providing clear, business-focused support.
