I am a graduate of law and administration at the University of Wrocław and the Jagiellonian University. I served my legal training at the Bar Association in Wrocław. Currently, I am an advocate associated with the Bar Association in Łódź.
I gained my professional experience, among others, as an law clerk in the District Court in Sieradz (in criminal and civil divisions) and as a permanent associate of the Centre for Strategic Analysis of the Institute of Justice in Warsaw. I also develop my scientific interests as an lecturer at the Department of Penitentiary Law and Policy of the Institute of Penitentiary Studies at the Academy of Justice and as a collaborator of many non-governmental organisations.
I have also been actively involved in mediation for several years, including as a permanent court mediator. Since 2022, I have also been a mediator of the Mediation Centre of the Arbitration Court of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority.
I represent, advise and train individual and corporate clients, public institutions and NGOs throughout Poland, with a particular focus on Sieradz and central Poland.
Including cases involving obligations, real estate and inheritance law, as well as disputes with banks, insurers and other financial and investment market institutions. I provide legal services aimed at securing the client’s property, but also his personal assets. Thereby, I use my great experience in negotiations and support clients in settlement and mediation processes.
I defend my clients in all criminal, regulatory and misdemeanour cases at every stage of the proceedings, as well as before and after trial. I support clients or mediate with law enforcement agencies and courts in order to maximise the client’s interests, even in seemingly hopeless cases. I also actively represent victims and act as an auxiliary prosecutor.
This includes “around-divorce” cases, such as the division of joint property and settlement of cohabitation after the separation, as well as cases involving the juvenile rehabilitation and support. I help clients in the fight for parental rights, addressing topics such as parental alienation, domestic violence and the right to raise children in accordance with one’s beliefs. I support the clients in international family law matters. I also help effectively secure the succession of family assets.
I provide comprehensive legal services to entrepreneurs at every stage of business operations – from its establishment, through its day-to-day operations, to its eventual liquidation, restructuring and bankruptcy. I support clients, especially those in the SME sector, in the day-to-day operation of the company, preparation of legal documentation, securing of investments and recovery of receivables from unreliable contractors.
Including services for individuals, state institutions, local government units as well as associations, foundations and other entities. I also use my experience in legal services for projects, grants and investments within the framework of public-private partnership. I represent clients in proceedings before public administration authorities and administrative courts. I defend clients’ interests wherever the state apparatus excessively interferes with individual freedoms.
Technological developments and cultural changes make it necessary to actively assert respect for fundamental rights. This is why I provide legal assistance with regard to the protection of human rights, in particular non-discrimination, minority rights, religious freedom and property. I actively seek compliance with constitutional standards and assist in asserting claims before national and international institutions. I also work with NGOs and public institutions, offering advice and providing seminars.
The globalised world and membership of the European Union make us realise that the practice of Polish law alone is sometimes insufficient to adequately safeguard the interests of the client. Poles are increasingly mobile and EU law has a colossal impact on Polish legislation. That is why I represent clients in cases with international threads and, when necessary, use EU and international instruments to seek justice.
Including cases for compensation, damages and pensions for medical malpractice and disputes with medical entities and insurers. In cooperation with the medical community, I also support doctors and veterinarians in the conduct of their business and represent them in proceedings concerning their criminal, civil and disciplinary liability. I also provide legal assistance in matters concerning animal protection and welfare standards for farm animals.
Nowadays, defending a client’s interests is no longer limited to the courtroom. The media make instant judgments and the reputational damage is often more serious than the legal consequences. As a advocate, I assist my clients in presenting their position to the public in a fair and factual manner and, if necessary, in managing media interest in the case and media contacts.
