We already have 41 people on board
We help launch a German chain of shops on the Polish market
We represent many times and successfully our Clients before Provincial Administrative Courts. Convincing the tax authorities to interpret legal regulations in accordance with the principles of the tax ordinance requires sometimes a visit to the Supreme Administrative Court
We are in social media - our profile appears on FB

We develop organically, but at an accelerated pace - the team becomes almost twice the size compared to the previous year. At the end of 2012, there are already 75 of us, the IT department can barely manage orders for laptops, phones and business cards
Obtaining funding for one of the largest investments in Poland Winning a precedent case in public procurement before the National Board of Appeal
We merge, divide and convert companies. At New Year's Eve, as every year, several long-term projects end with entries in the Register of Companies

We need more space - we move our Wrocław headquarters to the office building at Arkady Wrocławskie (Powstańców Śląskich 2-4), from the 11th floor, we have a beautiful view of the city, and with good visibility we can even see the Giant Mountains
We win a long-lasting and complex court dispute between the automotive industry leader and the trade union chairman (the Client was represented by Rafał Olesiński and Magdalena Tyrakowska)
We already work for so many automotive companies that you could assemble a car from their products ;)

We want more! Which is: more space. The second floor is added to the headquarters at Arkady Wrocławskie
O&W advises on the acquisition of 100% of shares in a services company - this is one of many M&A transactions that year (before a transaction is closed, it typically means litres of coffee and all-nighters, but great satisfaction in return)
We celebrate a precedent judgement sentencing an offender to a prison term without suspension for animal abuse. At such moments, we feel that our help makes sense!
We celebrate our 10th anniversary at Wrocław Opera House (no phantoms...on the contrary, just good spirits)

We start our permanent good cooperation with the Polish Association of Listed Companies (Stowarzyszenie Emitentów Giełdowych)
And speaking of the stock exchange - we advise on the development of the prospectus for IZOBLOK S.A. After the approval of the prospectus by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority new stock is soon listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange
And why a stock issue? Because IZOBLOK buys 100% of shares in a German automotive company. We handle the transaction and keep our fingers crossed for the company’s further expansion
We get more and more interesting transactions - among others, we advise on a restructuring project and help attract an investor for the leader of the call center industry in Poland
Time for a change - we rebrand, we get a new logo and new corporate identity
Animals can count on our help – we provide our services in animal cruelty cases, we represent the affected animals in difficult proceedings, often lasting for years, our employees train volunteers, support social animal protection inspectors on the rules to be followed during an intervention

The circle of Partners grows, joined by Lucyna Brayshaw
O&W Analytics Sp. z o.o. is established - a new consulting company in our family, specialising in broadly defined analytical projects. The starting slogan 'Inspired by numbers’ perfectly complements our good old ‘Joy of consulting’, after all, numbers are also very useful in legal, tax and business consulting
The annual integration trip is not only about playing games and being together - we also work for a centre for mothers with addictions, we build a playground for children in Pobiedna
We set up the European Legal Network - a network of European consulting firms, we are one of its co-founders
Our kids already are a pretty good parallel team - you could see it very well on the first St. Nicholas' Day for children (which fell on the morning immediately after the St. Nicholas' Evening for the adult O&W Team, and had to be rescheduled, obviously…)
Helping animals is also about creating law - we were asked for an opinion on the EU draft legislation introducing, among other things, standards for animals in shelters

Wojciech Fryze becomes a new Partner
We occupy the 7th floor at Arkady (this is already our third floor, it is worthwhile to walk up the stairs between floors to get some exercise, a clever idea)
