Experience
- We reviewed the internal regulations at a large insurance company. After finding inconsistencies and gaps in the firm’s regulations on the division of competencies and responsibilities, we drafted proposals for the missing rules and amendments to the existing rules.
- For a large retail chain, we conducted a series of training events covering antitrust law, unfair competition, dawn raids by the competition authority, and product safety procedures.
- We conducted a mock dawn raid for a company in the liquid fuels sector.
- We conducted a legal analysis over several months for a food company, including interviews with staff and analysis of electronic correspondence for compliance with competition law.
- For an international client from the IT industry, we conducted an internal audit of the company’s HR regulations and other documents concerning employment, intellectual property and tax issues.
- We provided advice in proceedings connected with alleged non-compliance with environmental law and lack of operating permits. We assisted the client in achieving compliance with existing and planned regulations.
- We advised a financial institution in establishing a data-processing centre for operations in the EU and third countries. Our assistance included creation of a position for a data protection compliance officer and advice on transferring data between all of the client’s operating jurisdictions.
- We provided advice on data protection when establishing a hotline and email contact point in Poland for whistleblowers to report irregularities across an international group. Our advice covered a range of legal requirements connected with implementation in Poland of an international electronic HR management system.
- We advised an international client using closed-circuit TV monitoring of staff in ensuring compliance with Polish law on data protection and privacy.
- We advised an international insurance company on agreements for processing of clients’ personal data and issues connected with processing of a central database of clients for operations in Poland and other European countries.
- We assisted a client in conducting an internal investigation of its Polish subsidiary concerning alleged serious abuses and infractions, including embezzlement and corruption by a long-term managing director and certain members of management. We assisted the client in taking the necessary steps against suspected individuals under employment law and criminal law.
- We advised a number of clients on restructuring as a result of our international investigations and employment audits (shutting down companies, conducting necessary layoffs, drafting new contracts for new and existing managers, changes in salary and regulations concerning employment and bonuses). Despite sweeping changes, we succeeded in maintaining the continuity of the group’s operations.
