This document discusses the Warsaw legal market and factors for law firms considering entering it. It notes that while some large international firms have recently opened Warsaw offices to use it as a base for the Central and Eastern Europe region, other incumbent firms see the market as overcrowded. New entrants will face strong competition from established Polish firms. The document analyzes factors driving some firms to enter Warsaw, such as Poland's growing economy and active capital markets. However, it also notes the market is mature and saturated, and that new entrants will need to differentiate themselves and not expect to quickly take market share from incumbents. Success will depend on strategic positioning and relationship-building rather than relying solely on a global brand.
