It is only natural, that they build their family life abroad, in countries where all their rights are equally assured. We specialize in the provision of legal assistance to such couples, especially in cross-border cases, that require not only the knowledge of Polish law, but also European Union and international law, as well as national law of countries where same-sex couples decide to formalize their relationship.

Our experience:
We provide comprehensive tax support to same-sex couples who, despite the lack of general solutions in the form of civil unions or marital equality, want to secure their finances (joint investments, financial protection for children, security clauses in the event of relationship’s dissolution of partner’s death).
We provide legal support in securing the legal status of children born through in vitro fertilization (IVF) and surrogacy, including in LGBT families.
We support victims of discrimination, in particular on the grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity, e.g. in employment, access to services, healthcare or education, as well as victims of crimes motivated by prejudice, including hate speech.
