We provide end-to-end legal support for employers and contribution payers in disputes with the Social Insurance Institution (ZUS) and the National Labour Inspectorate (PIP). Our assistance begins at the pre-audit stage – immediately after receiving a control notice – and continues through all phases of the proceedings: control, administrative, and judicial, including post-dispute settlement.

Thanks to extensive experience in handling complex and large-scale cases, we effectively mitigate risk and protect our clients’ interests. Attorney Robert Adamczyk, who leads this area at the firm, has successfully conducted over 100 court proceedings against ZUS, including multi-million zloty disputes involving hundreds of contested decisions.

Strategic legal advice at every stage

Early-stage actions often prove decisive for the final outcome. In disputes against powerful institutions with substantial resources, precision in legal strategy is critical – not only to achieve a favourable result, but also to optimise costs and minimise the operational impact of the dispute.

We offer rare and highly specialised legal expertise in the field of social insurance law, allowing us to successfully navigate even seemingly hopeless situations. We also advise on individual matters – particularly regarding pensions and social benefits – based on up-to-date case law and regulatory practice.
