Ewa Szlachetka, partner co-managing the Polish office of Eversheds Sutherland, said: “Eversheds Sutherland Poland has extensive experience in advising the banking sector and other financial institutions. We are a trusted transaction advisor for banks and their clients. Our team has recognized experience in real estate financing transactions and projects related to investing in renewable energy sources. Mateusz is a recognized lawyer experienced in all areas that are crucial for us, which allow us to further develop our current strategy. I keep my fingers crossed for the success of Mateusz and his team, which will soon be expanded by more specialists”.

Mateusz Dereszyński said: “I am very pleased to join a law firm with such a long presence on the Polish market and with such a wealth of experience. I can feel the positive energy here, and I am confident that I will be able to channel it into the dynamic development of our practice. I would like to rely as much as possible on a horizontal model of cooperation, and I hope that my previous experience in leading a team will help me in this. We see that the banking sector in Poland will once again face serious challenges, so it will be even more important to be able to adapt quickly and flexibly to the expectations of current clients and the market situation. In my opinion, Eversheds Sutherland is ideally placed to develop an offering that responds to these needs”.
