Piotr
Mrowiec

Piotr heads the Funds & State Aid practice and, within Dispute Resolution, handles cases involving public funds. He supports companies at every stage of a project: the funding application, audits, and the moment an institution demands repayment of a grant.

With his involvement, the firm’s clients have obtained more than PLN 4 billion in grants and tax reliefs. The total value of funds at stake in the disputes he has conducted exceeds PLN 1 billion. He co-created the LEGAL-TECH-FIN HYBRID model, nominated for the FT Innovative Lawyers awards.

In grant disputes a business is often fighting for its survival – which is why Piotr begins every case by understanding the project from the inside, and only then turns to the regulations.

• Representing an automotive manufacturer in a dispute over the repayment of a PLN 86 million grant – the decision was set aside by the Supreme Administrative Court
• Supporting a renewable energy group in obtaining PLN 420 million of funding from national and EU programmes
• Defending a technology company in an audit of the settlement of an R&D project worth PLN 60 million
• Advising a foreign investor on obtaining a decision on support for a new investment under the Polish Investment Zone
• Conducting a dispute over a special economic zone tax exemption challenged by the authority six years after it was granted
