I am an attorney-at-law with more than 18 years of professional experience gained in the support and preparation of the investment process for energy facilities, including RES facilities.
I am detail-oriented team player with strong organizational skills.
I efficiently and comprehensively implement the processes of investment preparation for energy facilities, including RES facilities, in particular: acquiring land for the investment purposes, regulation of legal statuses of real estate, acquisition of formal and legal documentation for the planned investment (from the greenfield phase to the ready-to-build phase), building and maintaining investor relations, including relations with local authorities and the local community for the purposes of ensuring proper implementation and operation of the facilities.
For the purposes of the tasks entrusted to me, I cooperated with the leading legal and tax law firms on the Polish market, as well as with international auditing and consulting companies.
The opportunity to directly influence the development of the Polish energy sector is my greatest professional motivation.
