Our story

Founded in 2015 by Marcin Durlak and Iwona Durlak, from the outset IMD Solicitors has taken pride in having strong, identifiable values. Mutual respect, tolerance and openness have laid the foundations for IMD to build an excellent reputation and strong relationships with clients.

Marcin’s great inspiration was his granddad Michal, born in 1919 in Kuty, a small town in what is now Ukraine. He recalls his granddad’s stories about diverse communities living in Kuty, happily, together, before the Second World War. Everyone in the community respected each other and the differences which made them unique.

Even more powerful were his grandad’s stories about his suffering during the War and the forgiveness, resilience, and kindness that followed after he was liberated from a Nazi concentration camp.

When Marcin was a teenager, he wanted to work for the European Union. Marcin strongly aligns with the EU values of respect, freedom and equality, as well as the concept of Europe with no borders.

Instead, when his native country Poland joined the EU in 2004, he moved to the UK where he set up IMD Solicitors with Iwona. Marcin’s vision has always been to bring together a diverse team of experts to serve multicultural clients and to connect diverse communities with mutual respect, tolerance and inclusion – values that are so close to him and his family story.

Iwona is very passionate about delivering results for her clients. She is also of Polish origins and she comes from a small town in the north-east of Poland. Coming from a relatively small town, Iwona has witnessed first-hand that quite often success is more challenging for those from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Throughout her career, Iwona has always been committed to fighting inequality and discrimination with the aid of the justice system – it is often the only route to ensure that those from disadvantaged backgrounds can protect their rights.

Her path to becoming a partner in a law firm in the UK did not come without sacrifice, but without having to make many tough decisions, she would not be so determined to cultivate the fighting spirit at IMD.

Our vision

Our vision is to become the leading law firm supporting international businesses and businesses in the UK with a team of experts who can provide results when dealing with complex, cross jurisdictional matters.

However, as we grow, it is important to us that we preserve the family spirit of the firm and the strong feeling of inclusiveness we have cultivated across our team. Every member of our diverse team shares our values and brings a unique perspective and understanding to the work we do. We have a caring, collaborative, and welcoming culture which is something we will never sacrifice for business growth.

We are also united by our purpose – connecting diverse communities and helping minorities thrive. Not only can we deliver excellent service and results, but we also have a unique connection with our clients.
