We have been changing business for the better for 25 years. In a sustainable and responsible way. For people and the environment. And through technology.

As Chief Sustainability Officer, Joanna Barbrich’s responsibilities include co-creating the ESG strategy and overseeing the implementation of our sustainability and responsible business goals.

Her ambition is to develop and strengthen a working culture based on diversity and inclusivity, to promote sustainable practices and to spread pro-environmental and pro-social ideas throughout our organisation.

So Joanna keeps her finger on the pulse of any external initiatives we might be involved in, identifying and seizing opportunities, building partnerships and agreements. To make sure the idea of sustainable business spreads further and further, creating real value. For business, for people and for the planet.

Anna Gwiazda, as a prominent specialist in labour law, advises and supports the Management Board and managers on all matters relating to employee relations and related regulations.

She plans, implements and develops policies, programmes and procedures to strengthen our competitive position and enable us to grow as a mature organisation.

She is responsible for creating a friendly workplace free from all forms of prejudice and harassment based on race, religion, background, gender, age or disability.

Daria oversees everything that builds and improves the employee experience and looks after our organisational wellbeing.

She supports the firm’s ambitious growth plans to attract, hire and engage the best and most talented people, and oversees the effectiveness of the processes involved.

As HR Director, she places particular emphasis on coaching, mentoring and informed career development. To this end, she works closely with practice leaders and key staff members, initiating and managing programmes and projects that promote development. This includes soft skills as well as the development of expertise and the acquisition of new competencies.

As the manager responsible for the ABC area, Mateusz Ostrowski ensures that a culture of compliance with the law, business ethics, internal rules and procedures is maintained and implemented throughout the organisation. He is the focal point for ensuring that our activities meet the highest standards when it comes to countering bribery and corruption, money laundering and terrorist financing.

Mateusz is the main initiator and co-creator of systemic solutions aimed at not only detecting but also effectively preventing fraud and corruption.

As such, he is responsible for developing comprehensive programmes to ensure that all related policies, procedures, methods and tools comply with current guidelines, as well as overseeing their implementation and execution. This is achieved through training, working culture and communication. Mateusz ensures that absolute compliance and accountability are embedded in every aspect of our business.

Wojciech knows the ins and outs of the energy market like no other, especially in the nuclear and renewable energy sectors, and is well versed in environmental, water and construction law. He has extensive professional experience, having worked for European institutions, government administration and major energy companies, and is an author of publications and an academic lecturer, also speaking at the most prestigious academic and industry conferences.

He leads one of the most complex and dynamically growing practices, responding to new challenges in renewable energy sources, decarbonised fuels and environmental compliance. Indeed, ESG is becoming an increasingly important area of legal advice for energy companies, which are most involved in the transformation process.

In the ESG Committee, Wojciech is responsible for ensuring that our firm is run in accordance with the highest environmental standards, proposing solutions to meet sustainability targets, increase energy efficiency and reduce our environmental footprint. Through his work, we are truly becoming a greener organisation.

Marcin is the chief officer who efficiently manages the complex structure of our firm. From day-to-day administrative and operational tasks to strategic planning, he tirelessly oversees our organisational roadmap and ensures the smooth day-to-day operation of all units and divisions.

He is a proven leader. With an open mind, a heart for innovation and a keen analytical mind, he will always be looking for the means, the methods and the space for improvement. Effectively.

Our Chief Operations Officer is the man who can put out any fire. And if need be, he can always be relied upon to turn any situation to our advantage.

Thanks to his talents, skills and excellent organisation, our ESG Committee is efficient, innovative and always one step ahead of the competition.

Technology is one of the cornerstones of our strength and competitive position. From the outset we have focused on innovation, investing in our own state-of-the-art systems, selecting the best hardware and software available on the market, and hiring the most talented programmers, IT and data management specialists or cyber security experts.

Today, we are one of the technology leaders among law firms. We have developed iRaaport, our own enterprise-class law firm management IT system, and our technology strategies enable us to increase operational efficiency and cybersecurity, minimise the production of digital pollution, and thus actively support the business objectives of the entire organisation.

This cutting-edge environment, a culture that fosters innovation, continuous improvement and technological transformation, are overseen by Michał Walczak, the chief architect of our digital solutions map.

Due to her unique experience in monitoring and investigating human rights violations and her involvement in the international arena, the position of Chief Human Rights Officer is held by Parasto Yari.

Parasto’s particular area of interest and activity is in building widespread awareness of the right to freedom of expression, opinion and self-determination.

Parasto’s ESG Committee activities also focus on gender equality and women’s rights. She effectively supports refugees and others in need.

The work of this collective is overseen by its chairperson, who is the driving force behind all the Committee’s initiatives, activities and ideas, and provides strong operational support to its day-to-day activities.

With a particular focus on building a positive and inclusive culture, she creates and develops solutions that promote our Firm’s flexibility and inclusiveness, as well as our shared values. These are innovation, ESG, relationship building and proactivity.

That is why Diana is committed to providing the highest quality organisational and communications support at every level and in every area of the Firm. From shaping vision and mission, to promoting inclusion and diversity, to the day-to-day ‘hard’ legal business.

This is all thanks to a holistic approach and the belief that we never operate in a vacuum, but together with business partners, clients, suppliers and local communities, we create a complex and colourful ecosystem. One that has the power and potential to change the world for the better.
