Selected experience
- Representation of an investor in five construction-infrastructure disputes with elements of innovative technologies and intellectual property rights with a value in excess of PLN 120 million (approx. €30 million), against a contractor who walked off the construction site, and in a criminal case in which the contractor's representatives were charged with bid rigging.

- Representation of a leading manufacturing company in more than a dozen civil and criminal disputes involving unfair competition and industrial property rights. The client began manufacturing components of its products by shortening supply chains. Because of this, it was attacked by its previous supplier and monopolist in the components market with false allegations of unfair competition and industrial property, including imitation and theft of technology, with the aim of removing it from the market by prohibiting production, among other things. We refuted the allegations and the client continues to operate and expand its business.
- Representation of the client (shareholder and board member) in corporate disputes related to the misappropriation of the company's infrastructure (digital assets of the company) by the shareholder, including proceedings to recover the infrastructure and dissolve the company.
