Michał Sokołowski focuses on corporate, commercial and real estate work. He represents businesses in disputes and advises on commercial transactions.

He graduated with distinction from the Faculty of Law at the University of Warsaw and trained as an advocate with the Warsaw Bar, qualifying at his first attempt. An internship in the legal department of a Warsaw chamber of commerce, while still a student, steered him towards advising businesses.

For more than ten years he has advised companies at every stage — from formation and restructuring, through day-to-day corporate work, to litigation and contract negotiations. He is particularly experienced in property transactions, including due diligence on commercial real estate and disputes over land register entries, and holds a postgraduate qualification from SGH Warsaw School of Economics.

Michał is a member of the Warsaw Bar Association and a regular speaker at events on commercial law, where he trains business owners on contractual liability. He works fluently in English and German, acting for international clients and on cross-border deals.
