Managerial Liability in Poland. A 3-Part Series for Executives, Boards, and Legal Advisors on Chambers and Partners

A 3-part series for executives, boards, and legal advisors on managerial liability in Poland, published on Chambers and Partners.

PART I: Prosecution of managers of Polish state-owned companies – quo vadis?

We examine the emerging trend of holding current and former executives accountable - especially in state-owned enterprises - and the legal tools being used.

PART II: Accountability of Managers – The Right to Information

We discuss the crucial importance of access to information - especially once a manager has left office. Without documents, how can one defend their decisions?

PART III: Managerial Diligence – What It Is and How to Prove It

We analyze what diligence means under Polish law, how the Business Judgement Rule applies, and how managers can protect themselves through proper documentation and prioritization.
