From 4 March 2022 a helpline for Ukrainian refugees has been launched by the Warsaw Bar Association.

It provides information on the most relevant procedures and rights of refugees in Poland.

Lawyers involved in pro bono legal help for refugees are on the line each week from Monday to Friday from 13.00 to 17.00 hours, at the telephone number +48 887 830 950.

Help is provided in Ukrainian, Russian, English, and Polish.

Poland and its citizens stay firm supporting Ukraine and its people.

Everyone we know, both personally and professionally, in Poland is now involved in helping Ukraine and its people. The Polish-Ukrainian border is crowded now both with refugees and Poles helping them with finding food, transport, and accommodation in Poland. We have never seen such mobilization around any cause in our lives.

As to pro bono legal advice in Poland, apart from the pro bono help already offered by certain individual attorneys, our Warsaw Bar Association (Okręgowa Izba Radców Prawnych w Warszawie) is just now in the process of organizing continuous pro bono help for Ukrainians and other people affected by the Putin’s invasion in Ukraine.

As soon as we have full information on the process we will publish relevant information.

Any help will be provided anonymously and pro bono (free of charge), with no PR or similar association to specific law firms’ practices.

There are already available short legal guides
