Lexology Client Choice 2026 – Global Award for Attorney-at-Law Maciej Zaborowski

Attorney Maciej Zaborowski, Managing Partner of Kopeć & Zaborowski (KKZ), was honored in 2026 with the prestigious Client Choice award in the Business Crime Defence category.

The award was presented as part of the program run by Lexology Index (formerly Who’s Who Legal) and is given to only approximately 20 experts worldwide in each category.

The Client Choice program, established by Lexology in 2005, recognizes lawyers and law firms that stand out for the quality of client service and their ability to deliver genuine business value. It is one of the most distinctive awards in the legal market because:

• candidates can be nominated exclusively by corporate clients (in-house counsel)
• law firms have no influence over the nomination process
• the assessment is based on clients’ actual experience of working with the lawyer or firm

The program is based on extensive research that includes:

• surveys among in-house lawyers worldwide
• feedback collected during international industry events
• a detailed assessment of service quality based on multiple criteria

Clients assess, among other things:

• quality of legal advice and strategic approach
• understanding of the client’s business and industry
• communication, responsiveness and transparency
• value for money and billing transparency
• ethics, trust and organization of work

The recognition awarded to Maciej Zaborowski in the Business Crime Defence category confirms his position as one of the leading experts in business criminal law on the international market.

The award particularly reflects:

• effectiveness in handling complex criminal matters and corporate investigations
• experience working with corporate and international clients
• the ability to deliver solutions that provide genuine business value
• the highest standards of client service and communication

What Does This Mean for Clients?

The Client Choice award is particularly significant because it is based exclusively on client feedback, without submissions from law firms or marketing activities influencing the selection process.

The Client Choice award in the Business Crime Defence category is particularly important for KKZ because it confirms the firm’s expertise in business criminal law from the perspective of its corporate clients themselves. The award demonstrates that KKZ’s experience in handling complex criminal matters and corporate investigations translates not only into the highest level of legal expertise, but also into tangible value and greater business security for its clients.

For clients, this means that Kopeć & Zaborowski:

• is a law firm recommended directly by corporate clients
• provides the highest standards of service and communication
• understands the business context of the matters it handles
• delivers solutions that go beyond standard legal assistance

For the firm, this recognition confirms that its approach – based on partnership, trust and genuine client value – is recognized on the international market.

The recognition from Lexology Index confirms that Kopeć & Zaborowski operates in accordance with the highest global standards and that its leaders belong to the select group of experts recommended by clients worldwide.

This recognition is particularly significant in the context of criminal law and business crime defence, one of KKZ’s core areas of expertise. Being selected directly by corporate clients demonstrates that the firm’s expertise in complex criminal matters and investigations is matched by the trust and confidence clients place in its lawyers when their businesses face serious legal risks.
