As of 1 April 2020 the group of partners of the Polish office of Eversheds Sutherland were joined by Michał Markowski, who heads the firm’s banking and finance practice, and Maciej Jóźwiak, head of the dispute resolution practice. Anna Kasnowska-Lisowska, Michał Miąskiewicz and Błażej Grochowski were promoted to senior associate.

Michał Markowski is an attorney-at-law and has worked at the firm since 2016. He has over a decade of experience providing legal advice to businesses. He specializes in providing legal support for project finance transactions. In recent years he has succeeded in building up the firm’s advice for the financial sector, expanding the firm’s portfolio of clients to include leading banks on the Polish market. He has completed numerous large, legally and commercially complex projects. He has consistently expanded the banking and finance practice toward project finance transactions. Apart from transactional banking, he has also expanded the team across other areas, such as banking regulation, the payment sector, and projects combining finance and new technologies with a chance to revolutionize the Polish financial and FinTech sector.

Maciej Jóźwiak, affiliated with the firm since 2008, specializes in representing clients in judicial proceedings. He also handles arbitration cases and other forms of alternative dispute resolution. At the European level he participates in proceedings before the General Court and the Court of Justice, and also appears before domestic and international arbitral tribunals. He has successfully grown the practice he leads, which has consistently expanded into other fields such as white-collar crime and compliance, bringing in new experts to work with the team. Under his leadership the team pursues numerous judicial disputes of varying profiles, and also resolves disputes using ADR methods, on many occasions reaching advantageous settlements for clients. In recent years the practice has reinforced its position advising leading air carriers, as the firm’s Aviation Desk serves a larger and larger group of clients from this sector. Two other lawyers in the team headed by Maciej have also advanced.
