B2RLaw has advised Echo Investment on the acquisition of a large property in the Bronowice district of Krakow, complicated by the fact that this involved acquiring numerous plots. B2R assisted at every stage of the transaction including post–closing activities and managed the real estate until its ultimate hand–over to Echo. In particular, B2R’s lawyers advised on legal, tax as well as intellectual property aspects of the transaction, negotiated the transaction documentation and supported in closing the transaction. Furthermore, B2R successfully represented Echo before administrative bodies in order to obtain a final building permit for the purposes of a huge residential investment on the acquired land.
The value of the entire investment amounts to PLN 200 million with the property covering a residential projected usable area of 20.000 m2.
“I would like to emphasize and appreciate the professionalism and commitment of the B2RLaw team at each stage of this complex process, from negotiations, through finalization of the purchase, to support in the course of administrative proceedings” comments Karol Dzięcioł, Land Acquisition Director, MRICS at Echo Investment.
B2R’s team was overseen and coordinated by Rafał Zięba, Senior Partner, and involved Tomasz Zaleski (Partner, Tax), Paweł Gunia (Partner, Construction), Marcin Huczkowski (Partner, IP), Agnieszka Wojciechowska (Senior Associate), Natalia Leszko (Associate) and Aleksandra Karteczka (Associate).
B2RLaw (legacy JS Legal) advised PKO BP (PKO VC – FIZAN) on a joint PLN 17 million follow-on financing round in Autenti Sp. z o.o., involving three banks – PKO BP, Alior Bank and BNP Paribas and two Venture Capital funds – Innovation Nest VC and Black Pearls VC.
Autenti is a Polish company established in 2014 that offers e-signature solutions enabling online signing of documents and designing internal document workflow. Since its market debut, Autenti has obtained over 250 business clients and sent documents to be e-signed by almost 95 thousand Poles.

“This transaction is a unique project on the Polish Venture Capital scene, being the result of co-operation between three banks investing in an innovative company providing technology that facilitates signing documents via the Internet. We are extremely pleased to have advised on a transaction that may further the digitisation and execution of paperless contracts. This financing round is an opportunity for Autenti to become a European market leader in its field”, points out Rafał T. Stroiński, Senior Partner at B2RLaw.
