About me

Family foundations in my practice

• I registered my first family foundation in September 2023, four months after the Act entered into force.
• The family foundations I serve manage assets worth over PLN 238 million (as of November 2026).
• I handle foundations from the deed of foundation to the ongoing servicing of their bodies: statutes, inventories of assets, lists of beneficiaries, meetings of management boards and of beneficiaries, amendments to statutes.
• I draft statutes of legal persons and by-laws of corporate bodies – management boards, supervisory boards, general meetings. To me, a foundation's statute is a constitutional document that must work even when no one from the first generation is alive any more.

Why I know how the statute fits the business

For seventeen years I have practised company law: incorporations, ongoing corporate work, ownership restructurings, investment transactions and shareholder disputes. Most family foundations are set up to take over shares in a family company – and most later problems arise where the foundation's statute meets the company's articles of association. I draft both documents so that they speak with one voice.

My core specialisation is the legal protection of companies and their management board members: the civil, administrative and criminal liability of those who run companies. That is why I also look at a foundation from the risk side: what happens when the founder's creditor invokes Article 8 of the Act, when a beneficiary challenges a decision of the management board, when the tax office asks about hidden profits.

Assets and family abroad

I speak German, completed the German Law Programme at the University of Münster and worked at a German law firm. I am a member of Carpe Jus – European Lawyers Network, a network of European law firms. For families with assets or relatives in Germany, Austria or the Netherlands, this means that I set up a Polish family foundation with an eye to what the local tax adviser will see in it.

How I can help

I agree my fee in writing before work begins – as a lump sum per stage or by the hour, depending on the scope. I am bound by the professional secrecy of a radca prawny from the first conversation. I work with founders from all over Poland and advise in Polish and German.
