I am an advocate admitted to practice in Poland, a partner in the dispute resolution department of Rymarz Zdort Maruta and the head of the White-Collar Crime practice.
Experience and education:
I specialise in litigation, with a particular focus on white-collar crimes. I have broad experience in representing clients both at the pre-trial and litigation stages of proceedings. I qualified as an advocate in 2015.
My experience in criminal proceedings includes advising in connection with high-profile criminal matters, in which she has represented both the injured parties and defended those suspected of as well as already charged with wrongdoing (including management board members). I represent clients in cases connected with money laundering, bribery and corruption, fraud, breaches of fiduciary duties, insider trading, and violations of personal rights.
Additionally, I have experience with the implementation of preventative measures and the introduction of internal compliance procedures aimed at identifying instances of bribery, corruption and money laundering to reduce the risk of criminal liability.
I am also experienced in handling cross-border criminal cases, in particular cases involving the European Arrest Warrant (EAW). I am fluent in French and English and I am one of around a dozen lawyers in Poland who are members of the European Criminal Bar Association (ECBA) and its sub-association, the European Fraud and Compliance Lawyers (EFCL). Since 2021, I have also been a member of the Commission for International Cooperation of the Warsaw Bar Association.
I graduated from the Faculty of Law and Administration of the University of Warsaw in 2011, having also completed a course in European and French law at the Centre for French Law Studies co-organised by the University of Warsaw and Université de Poitiers in the same year. In 2016, I completed post-graduate studies in white-collar defence & investigations at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków.
