Services - Kancelaria Radcy Prawnego Alicja Christensen

Personalised legal assistance in three languages

I assist individuals and businesses with matters concerning Polish law. All services are available in Polish, German and English, including for people living outside Poland.

Travel law and claims

I assist with cancelled or delayed flights, baggage problems and travel services that have not been provided as agreed. This also includes situations where the actual trip differs significantly from the contractual terms.

In such cases, I review the documents and the circumstances of the matter, explain the available legal options and prepare the necessary correspondence. Depending on the situation, I assist with recovering costs, pursuing compensation or damages, and determining whether, and to what extent, the tour operator is responsible for the irregularities.

E-commerce and GDPR

I assist with matters relating to online sales and digital business activities, including terms and conditions, privacy policies, advertising and obligations towards customers. This also covers the processing of personal data and your online shop’s compliance with applicable legal requirements.

I prepare and review the documents needed to operate an online business safely and identify which elements require revision. I also help organise the rules for online sales, marketing communications and the use of customer data.

Employment law and employment

I assist with matters relating to employing staff, preparing documents and the rights and obligations of the parties to an employment relationship. This includes both ongoing support for employers and issues arising during employment.

I review employment contracts and employment documentation, assist with changes to employment terms and the termination of employment. I also provide support with social security matters and compliance with employment law.

Foundation and NGO law

I assist with setting up foundations and associations and prepare the documents required for their registration and proper operation. This includes drafting statutes, preparing registration documents and defining the rules for the organisation’s structure and activities.

I also support changes within existing organisations and formal obligations arising during their operation. I help organise documentation and carry out the required procedures in accordance with applicable regulations.

Corporate legal services

I assist with setting up companies and implementing changes related to their ongoing business activities. I prepare the documents required for company registration, changes in the Polish National Court Register (KRS), shareholders’ resolutions and ongoing corporate matters.

I also support matters concerning shareholders, members of corporate bodies and information subject to registration. I help prepare the required documents and complete the necessary formalities in accordance with applicable regulations.

Copyright law and infringement

I assist with matters concerning the unauthorised use of photographs, texts, graphics, trade marks and other works. This also includes situations where someone uses another person’s work without the right holder’s consent or exceeds the permitted scope of use.

I assess whether an infringement has occurred, prepare cease-and-desist letters and assist with pursuing related claims. I also explain whether, and under what conditions, third-party materials may be used, including under the right of quotation.

Family law and divorce

I assist with matters relating to divorce, child support, child care arrangements and other family law issues. This also includes establishing paternity, contact arrangements with a child and parental responsibility.

I assess the legal situation and assist with preparing the documents required to start or conduct legal proceedings. Depending on the case, I also support clients in determining child care arrangements, contact arrangements and the parents’ child support obligations.

Immigration law and residence matters

I assist with matters relating to the residence and employment of foreign nationals in Poland, as well as the related formalities. This includes residence or work permits, official documents, obtaining a PESEL number and citizenship matters.

I support clients in preparing the required documents and completing formalities before the relevant authorities. I also assist with matters concerning the acquisition of real estate in Poland by foreign nationals.

Polish lawyer speaking German and English

The approach is based on guiding clients clearly through Polish laws and procedures, so that from the outset they understand their legal position and the options available. Every stage is explained clearly and in an organised way.

Three languages, one legal matter

A legal matter may involve Polish law, documents prepared in different languages and people from different countries. In such situations, it is important not only to translate, but also to understand their meaning in the relevant legal context.

My command of Polish, German and English allows me to work confidently across these contexts and keep communication consistent. This saves time and ensures that all arrangements are clearly explained in every language.

Frequently asked questions

Here you will find answers to the questions most often asked before the first contact and the start of our cooperation.

How much does legal assistance cost?

The initial consultation of up to 40 minutes costs from USD 50. The final fee is agreed individually, depending on the nature and complexity of the matter, the duration of the consultation and the preparation required. If we continue working together, fees may be charged as a fixed fee for the entire matter or on an hourly basis. During the initial contact or consultation, I can usually indicate the expected cost range.

How quickly can I book a consultation?

It depends on the nature of the matter and current availability, but I can usually arrange a consultation within 3 business days of the initial contact. If your matter requires more urgent action, please mention this when you first get in touch.

Can consultations take place online?

Yes. We can meet online, so you do not need to travel to Słubice. This allows me to advise clients throughout Poland and people living abroad.

Can I contact you about someone who does not speak Polish?

Yes. You can contact me on behalf of a family member, partner, friend, employee or business partner who needs legal assistance in Poland but does not speak Polish.

Are cases handled in German and English?

Yes. I handle cases in Polish, German and English, so clients can communicate with me directly without engaging an interpreter or an additional intermediary.

Can clients from anywhere in Poland contact the firm?

Yes. I assist clients throughout Poland, and many matters can be discussed and handled remotely. Depending on the type of matter, communication can take place online, by phone or by email.

Can I receive legal assistance if I live abroad?

Yes. If your matter concerns Poland, we can discuss and handle it remotely, so living abroad is not an obstacle to working together.

What is the basis of my experience in international matters?

My professional career has had an international focus from the outset. During my studies, I received scholarships in Germany and France, and I also completed a Bachelor’s degree in German law at the European University Viadrina.

After qualifying as an attorney-at-law in Poland, I gained professional experience at companies and law firms in Poznań and Berlin, working in Polish, German and English. I am also a member of the German-Polish Lawyers’ Association (Deutsch-Polnische Juristenvereinigung e.V.) based in Berlin.

This international professional experience enables me to support foreign clients on a daily basis, especially those whose matters concern Poland but who do not speak Polish. I help them understand Polish law, the available options and the consequences of their decisions.
