The "Rzeczpospolita" ranking published on 18 April 2006 shows that DZP has once again and for the fifth year in succession taken first place. The criterion applied to differentiate law firms in the ranking is the number of lawyers. With its 107 lawyers (50 of whom are either advocates or attorneys-at-law), the Law Firm Domański Zakrzewski Palinka came top.

In the ranking of most frequently recommended law firms, we were distinguished in three out of ten areas:

• commercial contracts/corporate law
• mergers & acquisitions/privatisation/restructuring
• stock market/capital and securities market entry preparation.

Krzysztof Zakrzewski, our managing partner, was among recommended legal experts in mergers and acquisitions, privatisation and restructuring.
