We are proud to announce that KG Legal Kiełtyka Gładkowski has been named a winner in the inaugural European Legal Awards 2026, hosted by EU Business News. The firm received the title Most Trusted Cross-Border Law Firm 2026 – Poland.

The European Legal Awards are a recognition programme of EU Business News, a publication of AI Global Media. The programme honours law firms and legal professionals who demonstrate excellence, adaptability and a commitment to delivering outstanding legal services across Europe in an increasingly demanding regulatory and business environment. According to the organiser, winners are selected through independent, merit-based research.
Why this recognition matters to us
Cross-border work has been at the core of our practice since the firm was founded. From our offices in Kraków, Warsaw and New York, a team of more than 35 lawyers advises clients from Europe, the United States, Asia and the Middle East for whom Poland is an investment market, a forum for a dispute, or a jurisdiction where rights need to be effectively enforced.
In practice, this includes:
The category in which we were recognised is about trust. In cross-border matters trust carries particular weight: a client hands over a case in a legal system they often do not know, in a foreign language and at a distance. This is why we focus on clear communication, a candid assessment of risk and realistic timelines rather than promises.
“We see this award above all as a thank you to our clients and partner law firms around the world who entrust us with their Polish matters. Trust is built over years, one case at a time, and it remains our most important measure of quality,” says Małgorzata Kiełtyka, co-founding partner of KG Legal.”.
The EU Business News award joins the firm’s existing recognitions, including continuous presence in the Legal 500 EMEA ranking since 2019 and the Legal 500 CEE Awards 2025 title of Healthcare and Life Sciences Lawyer of the Year.
We would like to thank our clients, our international partners and the entire KG Legal team. This recognition is shared.
