Sołtysiński Kawecki & Szlęzak (SK&S) is expanding its presence in Poznań, the capital of Wielkopolska and a major business centre in western Poland. The Poznań desk operates from the Bałtyk Tower on ul. Roosevelta, a landmark building in the city centre near Stary Rynek (Old Market Square).

About the Role
