About

AmRest Holdings is the largest independent restaurant operator in Central and Eastern Europe with a growing international presence, operating nearly 1,450 category restaurants with 30,000 employees. Since its formation in 1993, Amrest has built a portfolio of well recognised, powerful global brands including KFC, Pizza Hut, Burger King and Starbucks, achieved thanks to a strategy of solid franchise and joint venture partnerships. Chief legal officer at the company is Dawid Książczak, who has been spoken of by a nominating source as showing outstanding transactional support that has helped AmRest achieve it strategic objectives. The source explains how Książczak has helped the company through ‘successful M&A and integration work carried out by Amrest in preceding years’. Książczak is well-placed to combat the risks to the AmRest business thrown up by the legal environment it operates in, having accrued over a decade of experience within the company, first joining as a tax and legal manager in 2006. Throughout his time at the company Książczak has assisted in deals that have enabled AmRest to lay down a footprint in new markets, for example, in 2012 AmRest acquired two unique brands operating in China – Blue Frog and Kabb which Książczak helped oversee and reach its successful conclusion.
