CMS Poland retains top position in Poland’s energy sector in 2017

CMS Poland’s energy regulatory practice retained its top position in the “Ranking of regulatory law firms 2017” published by Polityka Insight (PI). In Banking, CMS’s regulatory team – based on an analysis of the opinions of clients and competitors, as well as the scope of services provided – took second place (Group 2). Personal data protection, debuting in 2017, was ranked second (Group 2). In competition law CMS maintained its position in third place (Group 3).

CMS’s position in the Polityka Insight ranking reflects the scale of its activity and the profile of its projects in recent years, as well as the complexity of the legal advice and the recognition and reputation of CMS teams.

The Polityka Insight ranking of regulatory law firms covers the regulatory advice market, i.e. the market related to public economic law enforced by authorities such as the Energy Regulatory Office, the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK) or the Financial Supervision Authority (KNF). In Warsaw, on 23 March 2017, an awards ceremony recognising outstanding law firms took place. This was the first ranking of law firms in Poland taking into account qualitative data. The results are based on survey data collected by PI from the largest companies in the regulated sectors and the law firms themselves.
