Andrzej Debiec is a partner at the Hogan Lovells Warsaw office and is responsible for the Tax Department and Infrastructure Projects practice.

Andrzej has in-depth knowledge in consulting in optimization projects, tax planning, structuring M&A transactions, disputes before the tax authorities and courts, ensuring legal and tax efficiency for infrastructure projects and transactions on the financial and real estate market, backed up by many years of experience. In directing the Tax and Infrastructure Projects departments, Andrzej focuses on providing clients with necessary, practical information and advice, thanks to which it is possible for his clients to pursue their desired business goals.

Many years of experience have allowed him to fully understand the business environment and comprehend the rules of the economic sectors in which his clients operate. Andrzej has particularly rich experience in advising leading international and domestic companies from the banking, insurance and leasing sectors, entities operating on the real estate market (funds, construction companies, and developers), investment and private equity funds, retail chains, including distributors of luxury goods, and aviation and production companies.

Andrzej offers clients effective and innovative legal and tax solutions. As part of the services provided, he always takes into account sector-specific social, economic, and political conditions, as well as the needs that are reported by clients in relation to the tasks assigned.

Since the day it was established, Andrzej has overseen the Infrastructure Projects Practice of the Warsaw office. Currently, it is one of the most recognized and appreciated practices of this type in Poland. To a large extent, this is based on the conviction of clients that the advice provided takes into account not only the legal and tax aspects of implemented projects, but also the clients' business assumptions and objectives.
