Barbara Belina vel Bylina

I am a senior associate in the Dispute Resolution practice. I specialise in dispute resolution with a particular focus on civil, commercial, banking, employment and aviation law.

I have been advising Polish and multinational clients since 2014.

I have successfully represented major European transport companies in numerous multi-million euro disputes. I have also participated in diverse real estate litigation matters involving, inter alia, expropriation of property for public use and associated disputes, including disputes involving high value compensation.

I have extensive experience in managing litigation portfolios and processes as part of disputes, and due diligence audits in the employment matters. I have also developed my expertise in aviation law, applying both a theoretical, legal, and practical approach to the subject, having provided comprehensive legal assistance to air carriers and through my work for the Civil Aviation Authority.

Recently I have actively participated in developing and implementing litigation strategies for banks in connection with foreign currency loans.

Before joining Bird & Bird, I gained professional experience working for several major Polish and international law firms.
