Magnusson, Tokaj & Partners, the Warsaw office of the Magnusson law firm, has announced that it will be leaving the multi-national firm and will continue operations under a new brand as of January 1, 2020.
According to a statement released by Magnusson, Tokaj & Partners, "this move unlocks our potential as an independent practice, broadening domestic capabilities and opening up new paths of international cooperation with those who best match our clients' cross-border needs."
"Our 50-strong firm is all about getting things done, being ready to stand out, building long-term relations, and going that extra mile," explains Managing Partner Agnieszka Pytlas. "We will continue to serve as a gateway to CEE for international business."
"Launching under a new brand, after co-founding the previous organization, marks the opening of yet another chapter in our story," added Senior Partner Andrzej Tokaj.
The firm opened its office in Warsaw in 2001.
Magnusson International Chairman Tomi Merenheimo commented on the change in Warsaw: "Magnusson International has recently made a strategy review and is now brand positioning towards stronger growth and profitability in local offices in the Nordics and Baltics. The strategy is based on building partnerships with key partners and clients based on shared values and core legal areas and industry sectors, aiming for clients to be at the center of the process." He added that: "We have nothing but respect for our colleagues in the Warsaw office and the decision to go separate paths after 15 years together is not an easy one. We have reached the stage where the time is right to embrace new challenges and pursue separate projects. We will stay friends with our colleagues in Warsaw and work together on shared legal projects and we will continue to support each other. We wish the Warsaw office the very best on their next step."
