Aleksandra Cywinska

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

My key focus is on drafting and negotiating IT contracts, ranging from developing, implementing and licensing software to providing complex cloud services, including in the regulated financial sector. I also help clients navigate through regulations that shape the technology sector today, inter alia those concerning Artificial Intelligence, cybersecurity and data protection.

My secondary professional interest is media law – I have advised printed and online press publishers on setting up publishing houses, managing their day-to-day activities, negotiating advertising contracts and registering new press titles.

I have experience in supporting start-ups with funding processes and developing their products.

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

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