To celebrate its 30th anniversary and market-leading position in Poland, global law firm Dentons has launched a series of social projects to benefit future generations and support local communities, especially in light of the unprecedented circumstances caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

"In 1991, our legacy firm opened a modest office in Warsaw, which has since grown into the largest law firm in Poland and part of the largest law firm in the world. We wanted to find a special way to celebrate the last 30 years of exceptional team work. In a departure from tradition, we decided to initiate a series of projects to thank the local community," said Arkadiusz Krasnodębski, Poland Managing Partner at Dentons.

The #1YearChallenge

To mark the anniversary, Dentons has launched the #1YearChallenge project consisting of 12 initiatives to be implemented throughout 2021. Starting in January, the Firm will announce a new challenge each month that will engage Dentons' employees, clients and the local community in supporting culture, education, the environment and people in need. Many of these will focus on the Powiśle district, where Dentons’ Warsaw office is headquartered.

Each element of the #1YearChallenge project will reflect one of Dentons Europe’s core values: collaboration, passion, polycentricity, value creation, and foresight.

The Warsaw city authorities and TOK FM radio have both agreed to support the initiative, and the mayor of the Śródmieście district will provide patronage as part of the "Fall in love with Warsaw" program.

Launching the celebrations

"Dentons’ team in Poland is a close-knit group of nearly 500 people, but globally we rely on the strength of more than 10,000 lawyers working in nearly 200 offices across almost 80 countries. As a polycentric law firm, we have no dominant corporate culture, and are committed to helping our local communities to capitalize on their potential. In these extraordinary times, solidarity and collaboration are more important than ever, so our 30th anniversary celebrations will be open to anyone willing to share their resources and talent. Therefore, on behalf of the entire Dentons team, I invite you to join us in the #1YearChallenge," added Arkadiusz Krasnodębski.
