Aleksandra Cywinska

I am a senior associate in our Commercial team in Warsaw where I advise clients on a variety of technology related legal matters.

My key focus is on guiding clients through the complex regulatory framework governing modern technology, in particular around artificial intelligence (EU AI Act) and cybersecurity (DORA, NIS2).

I assist Polish and international clients with understanding and implementing compliance strategies across various jurisdictions where EU regulations apply, as well as in various sectors, inter alia the heavily regulated financial sector.

I also advise on tech transactions, drafting and negotiating IT contracts, ranging from developing and implementing software to providing complex cloud services.

My work involves managing complex international projects which require the cooperation of regulatory lawyers from multiple jurisdictions, often working in several workstreams. I also participate in due diligence audits and transactions within the tech sector.

At work I value openness, creativity and interdisciplinary teamwork. I always search for practical business solutions
