Areas of support
Every day each of us builds our future, so tell us what we can help you with. Grow your business and we will take care of your legal safety. There are our specializations and areas of support along with examples of services we can fulfill for you.
HR - employers, employees and co-workers
The rights and obligations of an employer or employee or a co-worker are fascinating topics for us, and we take great pleasure in working in this area.
We deal with issues related to labour relations, Employee Capital Plans and relations with trade unions, as well as social labour inspection. In this field, we offer ongoing advisory services, preparation of internal labor law acts – work regulations, remuneration regulations, premium regulations, preparation of documentation – employment contracts, recruitment procedures, non-competition agreements during the employment relationship or after its termination, training agreements, various agreements, statements regarding termination of employment, support in determining strategies for employment policy or anti-crisis solutions, preparation of documents for the National Labor Inspectorate, preparation of documents and regulations or resolutions related to health and safety at work.
Moreover, we handle issues related to the Company Social Benefits Fund. In this regard, we can draw up regulations of the fund and rules for payment of benefits for the given year.
We also advise on the conclusion of contracts of mandate, cooperation agreements – the so-called contracts with co-workers.
We will also support you in drawing up documents which are not obligatory for employers but constitute elements of image and employers’ welfare policies, such as procedures against mobbing.
personal data protection
Our passion is personal data, which is literally everywhere, so we keep our eyes and ears open at all times, not just when someone says GDPR.
We deal with matters related to personal data protection, especially GDPR implementations. In this field, we offer comprehensive verification of your business in terms of compliance of personal data processing with the applicable regulations (GDPR); mapping of business processes related to personal data processing; preparation of relevant documents, including information clauses, consents, registers of data processing activities in processes, agreements on entrusting of processing of personal data (from the perspective of the controller or processor) or granting access to data, authorizations to process data, procedures for reporting data protection infringements or transferring data to third countries, or regulating the issue of safeguards used and data processing methods; determination of the obligation to appoint a personal data protection officer (DPO); analysis and updating of the documents used by you.
Personal data protection is primarily concerned with analyzing the risk of data protection infringements and assessing the consequences of such infringements, which is why we will support you in carrying out the risk assessment process – not only by preparing appropriate procedures that will allow you to effectively determine whether you properly protect personal data, but also by guiding you through the process in an accessible and understandable manner. We will ensure that you adequately document the risk assessment. We will also assist you in selecting organizational, legal and technical compliance and security measures for the processing of personal data.
We will also support you in the legal application of various forms of monitoring (e.g. video, email, GPS). We will advise and prepare appropriate documents for your website (privacy policy, cookie policy).
In case of control by the supervisory authority (President of the Personal Data Protection Office) or in case of necessity of reporting the personal data protection infringement, we can represent you in the proceedings before this authority.
Personal data security is an important element of a safe business, therefore it is worth taking care of it, and by properly protecting personal data, you simultaneously protect information that constitutes company secrets.

About me
I would like to tell you that first of all I am a human being – just like you. Let’s get to know each other, so I will tell you a few words about me. My passion is law, since I remember I wanted to be a lawyer and help others. I am constantly analyzing the surrounding world, cases, and finding legal issues to solve. I fulfilled one part of my dream and became an attorney-at-law. It is time to fulfill its further part. Let me realize my passion for law – how can I help you today?
After hours
I feel like I never leave work because I think about work even outside of the office. Keep calm. It does not bother me at all. However, sometimes I like to get away from my cosmos, which is law, and then German Shepherds (Vega & Hexa), who live with me, come to my aid. Playing with them and walking together is an obligatory part of the day 😊. I like to read a good book (especially a detective story with a good mystery) – not only a commentary on GDPR. I also find the hours spent in the kitchen relaxing. Cooking meals and baking cakes for my family – this is what I love. For the rest – kitchen and law have a lot in common!
About specialization
I mainly deal with HR and personal data protection issues in my practice. These fields have been close to me since the very beginning of my career – yes, I was dealing with personal data before it became fashionable and GDPR came into force. HR and GDPR are a good combination. These cases give me undisguised pleasure and I am happy to solve legal problems on the grounds of trade union regulations. Check below what I can do for you.
About education and experience
A native of Krakow. Therefore naturally, I gained my knowledge – first at the 5th High School, then during my Master’s studies in Law at the Jagiellonian University, and finally during my legal training at Cracow Bar Association of Attorneys-at-Law. During my studies I also completed the School of Ukrainian Law at Jagiellonian University. I have extensive professional experience, which I started to gain while still studying – I quickly wanted to learn the ins and outs of working as a lawyer and see how theoretical knowledge gained during classes can be used in practice.

About me
Visionary. I like to analyze the world around me, the processes occurring in it and the relationships between them. I am a type of observer. It is similar with my concept of law. It is insightful. I like special projects that go beyond the traditional framework. The more complicated the issue in front of me, the more satisfaction I derive from it. The fact that something is difficult does not necessarily mean that it is impossible.
After hours
Sentimentalist. My second home is the cosmos, which I study with attention. It gives me equal pleasure to listen to it. Well, the universe is wonderful. Beyond the cosmos there are books. They are not law books. I have a great appreciation for Arthur Rimbaud. I listen to music in my spare time, including the brilliant Marilyn Manson.
About specialization
Taxman. I like taxes, because they can be compared to the forest. There are a lot of trees in the forest. There are also a lot of types of taxes. This is an extremely broad subject matter, because in addition to domestic regulations there are also international and EU regulations. It is easy to get lost here, to lose your orientation, to forget where you came from. These features of taxes made them close to me. I like things that leave room for imagination (interpretation). In taxes this field is large. Check below what I can do for you.
About education and experience
Lawyer. I studied law at the Faculty of Law and Administration of the Jagiellonian University. I am an attorney-at-law at Cracow Bar Association of Attorneys-at-Law. I am a tax advisor. I completed post-graduate studies at the Jagiellonian University on contractual law in professional and consumer trade. I have extensive experience in litigation.
