“Gosia delivered exceptional results during the multi-million sale of our property in Warsaw. Outstanding performance and full trust — highly recommended.”

Managing Partner German Investment Fund · Warsaw
Who I Work With

Two types of clients.
One shared challenge.

Whether you're a General Manager who needs clear decisions or a legal team looking for a trusted partner in Poland — the goal is the same: law as an enabler, not an obstacle.

General Manager / CEO

You need decisions, not disclaimers

Lawyers who hedge everything slow your business down. I give you clear answers and practical options — so you can act with confidence, not spend time decoding legal caveats.

Legal Department / Counsel

You need a trusted local partner in Poland

Coordinating legal work across borders is complex. I deliver reliable, business-aware Polish law expertise that integrates seamlessly with your team's workflow and standards.

For Both

Legal that unblocks, not stalls

I've worked both in-house and as external counsel. I understand both sides of the table — and my role is always the same: remove friction so projects move forward.

Sound familiar?

Whether you're running a Polish company or bringing a foreign business into Poland, the challenge is usually the same:

  • You need legal support that understands your business — not just the regulations
  • You're signing contracts with partners and need someone who reads the risk, not just the text
  • A regulatory or compliance issue has appeared and you need a clear answer, not a 20-page memo
  • You need ongoing legal coverage without building an in-house team
  • You're entering a new market — or expanding from one — and need a trusted advisor from day one

I've spent 18 years on both sides of this — inside companies and beside them, in Poland and across borders. I know what businesses need from their legal counsel. And I know what gets in their way.

If this sounds familiar — that's exactly where I come in.

Why work with me

What makes the
difference

01

Senior expertise, every time.

Every matter I take on gets the same level of attention — strategic thinking, commercial awareness, and 18 years of experience applied directly to your situation. No dilution. No delegation. Just focused, senior-level work.

02

I've been on your side of the table.

I've worked in-house at international corporations — not just beside them. I know how business decisions are actually made, where pressure builds, and what kind of legal advice genuinely helps rather than stalls.

03

I speak the language — of business and of law.

I've worked with clients from Poland and from over 10 countries — France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, the US, China, Israel, Scandinavia and beyond. Whether you're a Polish company growing internationally, or a foreign business entering Poland — I understand what you need, and where things tend to go wrong.

04

I stay calm when it gets hard.

I've led humanitarian missions in active conflict zones. Legal pressure doesn't rattle me. When matters are urgent, complex or uncomfortable — you get clear thinking and decisive action, not hesitation.

About Me

Małgorzata
"Gosia" Lewandowska

Most lawyers advise from the outside. I've sat at both tables — as in-house counsel inside global corporations, and as external advisor on high-stakes transactions. That dual perspective changes how I read a room, a contract, and a risk.

I advise Polish and international companies on corporate, commercial and compliance matters, combining legal precision with business intuition to help them operate securely and confidently. I've worked with medium-sized enterprises, international corporations and global brands — this dual perspective has taught me how companies really function: how decisions are made, where pressure builds, and what kind of legal support genuinely enables progress.

Over the years, I have advised clients across food and FMCG, logistics, agriculture, e-commerce, retail and technology. This diversity has shaped a practical, adaptable approach grounded in understanding business models as deeply as legal frameworks.

Beyond the boardroom
I've led humanitarian missions in active conflict zones.

That experience — making clear decisions under real pressure, with limited information and high stakes — shapes how I work every time a matter is urgent, complex, or uncomfortable. Calm isn't just a personality trait. It's something I've earned.

I don't complicate — I clarify.
I don't observe — I act.

My Approach

How I show up
for every client

Three qualities that define how I work — regardless of the matter, the sector or the size of the company.

Practical & Business-Focused

I focus on legal solutions that support business decisions. My work is grounded in clarity, context and good judgment — ensuring outcomes that are realistic, effective and aligned with commercial priorities.

Authentic & Down-to-Earth

I don't believe in distance between lawyers and business. I work alongside my clients — transparently, respectfully and as a partner. Trust and authenticity build results faster than any legal clause ever could.

Clear & Action-Oriented

Law should support, not complicate. I make legal work understandable, actionable and aligned with how companies actually operate. My aim is to give leaders peace of mind — knowing their legal matters are under control.
