Drawing on the firm’s substantial global network and deep local capability, Dentons’ Warsaw employment team is noted for its strength in cross-border and multi-jurisdictional matters. The group advises on the full spectrum of workforce issues, including complex restructurings, sensitive dismissals, internal investigations and the employment aspects of major M&A transactions. At the helm sits the 'exceptional' Aleksandra Minkowicz-Flanek, who remains a key port of call for multinational and domestic clients across a broad range of employment law matters. Both Tomasz Lasyk and Marta Kolarz handle a mix of advisory and deal-related employment work.
