Commencing from March 2017 KG LEGAL Kiełtyka Gładkowski – Professional Partnership. Attorney Law Firm enters into cooperation with the Jagiellonian University, the Department of Law and Administration.
The students of administrative law (Karolina Jarzyna and Agnieszka Sarek) will be doing an internship as Case Managers/Office Clerks. Their activity may contribute to the development in the field of foreign relations. At KG Legal they will handle communication with international clients and prepare documents for class actions.
On the 23rd February KG Legal participated in the event organised by Klaster LifeScience. The main topic of the event were new tax regulations related to B+R commercialisation. These changes are significant for inventors and companies from innovative sectors. Specialists presented new tax credit and new principles of taxation on commercialised intellectual property by a contribution in kind based on new provisions.
Besides legal services KG Legal participates in various IT industry events. That is why we visited Mobile IT 2017 fairs in EXPO Kraków on the 22nd February. Mobile IT are the largest fairs from IT sector in Kraków. The fairs featured the subject of e-commerce, mobile applications and new technologies. It was a great occasion to meet new people and establish business contacts.
We publish short videos and photos from event below.
Kancelaria KG LEGAL poszukuje przedsiębiorstw/firm, które w latach 1997-2011 dokonały zakupu średnich (6-16 ton) lub ciężkich (powyżej 16 ton) samochodów ciężarowych z Europejskiego Obszaru Gospodarczego (EOG). (English version below)
Wspólnie z kancelariami z Holandii i Niemiec będziemy dochodzili odszkodowań w tamtejszych jurysdykcjach, jest to o tyle korzystne dla polskich firm, że nie będzie konieczne wniesienie własnego wkładu finansowego (jak miałoby to miejsce w polskiej jurysdykcji). Ponadto holenderska kancelaria zapewnia ubezpieczenie procesu, tak więc nic Państwo nie tracą.
Pozew zbiorowy zostanie złożony w związku ze sprawą dotyczącą europejskiego kartelu „ciężarówkowego”. W ubiegłym roku Komisja Europejska (KE) nałożyła rekordowe kary o łącznej wartości 2,93 miliarda euro na czołowych producentów ciężarówek, którzy w latach 1997-2011 ustalali ceny brutto średnich i ciężkich ciężarówek oraz „przerzucili” na klienta koszty wprowadzenia nowych silników spełniających ekologiczne normy unijne.
Prosimy o kontakt, jeśli są Państwo zainteresowani współpracą.
Truck cartel
KG LEGAL law firm is searching for companies, that purchased medium (6-16 t) or heavy (over 16 t) trucks from European Economic Area from 1997 to 2011.
Together with law firms from the Netherlands and Germany we will pursue claims in their jurisdictions, which is advantageous for Polish companies, since there will not be necessary to make a financial contribution (as would be in the Polish jurisdiction). Moreover, the Dutch law firm will ensure trial insurance, so you do not lose anything.
The class action will be filed in relation to “European truck cartel” case. Last year, the European Commission imposed a record fine of € 2 926 499 000 on the leading trucks producers and revealed that this cartel is relating to:
coordinating prices at “gross list” level for medium and heavy trucks
the timing for the introduction of emission technologies
the passing on to customers of the costs for the emissions technologies in new engines required to comply with the increasingly strict European emissions standards.
The Commission also stated that “any person or firm affected by anti-competitive behaviour as described in this case may bring the matter before the courts of the Member States and seek damages”.
