Represents clients in proceedings before the National Securities Depository and the board of the Warsaw Stock Exchange.

Also advises on general company law issues, corporate transformations, mergers and demergers, establishment of corporate holding structures, share buy-backs and squeeze-outs, share redemptions, share capital reductions, and share conjoining. Assists in devising incentive schemes for management, especially ones involving issues of shares, subscription warrants, or bonds with priority rights in the context of conditional share capital increases.

Provides day-to-day advice for listed companies on performance of the information duties incumbent upon them under the Market Abuse Regulation, Polish securities law, and under Warsaw Stock Exchange, NewConnect and Catalyst rules.  

Advises investors, investment firms, and fund associations on all regulatory matters pertaining to obtainment of licenses and expanding their scope; represents clients in administrative proceedings before the Polish Financial Supervision Authority.

Gained experience in the Legal Department and the Financial Instruments Department of the Polish Securities and Exchange Commission and in the Issuers Department of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (contributing to legislative work, also on amendments to the Public Offering Act – one of the cornerstones of the Polish securities market) before joining GESSEL in 2007.
