We are proud to admit that our law firm has been servicing the music and film industry for years and, more recently, supporting the world of football. “This Is The Moment” co-written by MaRina and Wojciech Szczęsny is the anthem of the Polish National Football Team for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar which kicked off on November 20, 2022. It is great to report that we have a legal contribution to this. To quote MaRina: “I intend through this piece and the promotional activities around it to remind people that this is a representation of guys who started from scratch, but believed in their dreams and worked hard to perform at the Championships, measuring themselves against the best teams and players in the world. That’s also what this piece is about – this will be their moment and let’s support them in this adventure until the end.” Link to “This Is The Moment” on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=me-TuIXDAKQ
