Infrastructure Projects & Energy

Partner, Head of Infrastructure Projects & Energy (Poland)

Patryk is a Polish qualified lawyer (radca prawny) and an authority in areas of law involving infrastructure and energy investments, as well as natural resources and environmental protection. He leads Warsaw Infrastructure Projects & Energy practice.

Patryk has a wealth of experience in matters involving the preparation, acquisition and financing of renewable (including energy transition) and conventional energy investments, as well as on infrastructure investments, including toll motorways. When working in 2009-2012 for DONG Energy (now Ørsted), Patryk and his team developed a standard for land (lease) contracts relating to onshore wind projects, which became the market standard precedent in Poland. Patryk’s interpretation of the “exclusivity right to the deposit rule” on behalf of Australian mining company Prairie Mining looking to invest in Poland was confirmed by the Polish Supreme Administrative Court and resulted in the amendment to Poland’s mining law.

Patryk studied law at the University of Wroclaw and business administration at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, US
