Why does Andrzej handle business disputes?
Andrzej started working in economic mediation in 2016. Previously, for 7 years, he observed how Polish courts blocked the development of good companies for entire decades. He realized that a judgment after 4 years of fighting is no victory. At Forum Sovereignty, he focuses on hard data and spreadsheets rather than emotional arguments about being right.
Concrete results and numbers
In 2023 alone, Andrzej closed 39 difficult disputes between investors and founders. Most of them concerned decision-making blocks in companies where shares were distributed equally. He repairs these situations by introducing mechanisms into agreements that no one thinks about when opening champagne at the start of the business.
- Conducted 114 mediation sessions over the last 3 years.
- Saved 23 companies from forced liquidation due to owner conflict.
- Developed 47 new company statutes that protect minority partners.
- Reduced the duration of company conflicts from 2 years to an average of 5 weeks.
Andrzej believes in clear 50/50 rules. Facts count, not emotions. If he sees that the parties only want revenge, he says it straight to their face and ends the cooperation. He doesn't want to waste time on trials that only serve to feed egos when the company's assets and salaries for 12 employees are at stake.
He works mainly with production and trading companies from the Mazovia region. His method is cold analysis and quick action. Without going to court, because only lawyers win there, and not business owners. We repair the share structure so that everyone knows what to do when a worse quarter comes.
Sometimes the first talk is difficult because Andrzej points out errors in current relationship management. He does it, however, so that the company survives the next 12 years without decision-making paralysis. Usually, he responds to emails within 3 hours, unless he is conducting a session in our room on Pileckiego Street.
