Abstract

The increasing interest of foreign investors in undertaking investment projects in Poland causes dilemmas as to the form of legal actions. When it comes to representing foreign entities before Polish authorities (including notaries), the form of a ­power of attorney appears to be of particular importance. The article deals with the issue of a due form of PoA granted abroad to take actions in Poland. It addresses the most relevant problems pertaining to this issue, i.e. equivalence of forms, formal validity, application of governing law, power of legalization and apostillation of documents.
