Bird & Bird Szepietowski i wspólnicy sp. k. > Warsaw, Poland > Firm Profile

‘I have worked with Izabela Kowalczuk-Pakuła and she is an exceptional lawyer with broad knowledge of privacy issues and new technology law. She is also open to share her opinion concerning adoption of the most business friendly and legally safe solutions.’

‘They were proactive, intuitive, friendly, flexible with scope, adaptable and a pleasure to deal with. Their technological solution for the project we worked on, although built on the same basic software as the consultancy firm’s tool, was streets ahead. The ease of raising and dealing with queries and the interface were second-to-none.’

‘B&B’s data protection department is very professional with an extensive knowledge of GDPR in marketing. I can rely on B&B lawyers’ opinion and advice, as they are keeping their eyes on the changing GDPR rules and regulations on the Polish market, helping us to update our policies, other documents and general approach to data protection.’

‘I have been working in the field of personal data protection for over 10 years and I can say with full confidence that the Bird & Bird team is one of the best on the Polish market.

They guide in-house counsel by indicating which risks are high and which may be potentially acceptable.’

‘Izabela Kowalczuk-Pakuła and Marta Kwiatkowska-Cylke have extensive knowledge in the field and the ability to convey it in an accessible way that is tailored to a specific case.
