About Me

I am a partner based in Warsaw. My main focus is e-commerce, IP and digital transformation.

I have been advising clients since 2006 and specialise in contentious soft IP matters, e-commerce business models and legal issues relating to new technologies, as well as handling matters relating to consumer, data protection, advertising and contract law.

I support clients on complex e-commerce projects, legal compliance within their business models, on litigation and proceedings before the data protection and consumer regulators, as well as with due diligence projects and development of IP management strategies.

I advise on online legal infringements, including high-profile cases of Internet platforms liability. I also regularly represent companies in criminal and civil proceedings regarding infringement of IP rights. I advise main players as well as start-ups.

I also regularly speak at conferences on issues surrounding e-commerce, IP and new technologies. I am recognised by legal directories as a leading expert in intellectual property law in Poland.
Experience
  • I advise a major online platform on their compliance with e-commerce and copyright laws.
  • I advised a major foreign online retailer on their entry to the EU, in particular on compliance with EU e-commerce legislation and a major financial services provider on their compliance with e-commerce legislation.
  • I assisted a major furniture retailer with a digital business transformation project. Our team worked closely with the client from the early design stage to the final implementation of their ideas.
  • I advised on and managed a GDPR implementation project in eight jurisdictions for a global automotive parts supplier. I also acted in this regard for a bitcoin futures and option exchange platform.
Cases
  • I represent one of the main platforms in a series of proceedings regarding their liability for users' infringements. These cases are landmark for hosting providers' liability in Poland.
  • I represented a global provider of conditional access systems in a series of criminal proceedings against hackers.
