About Me
Mikołaj Kawka
Attorney-at-law (radca prawny)
My practice sits where Polish and Swiss law meet. As a radca prawny (attorney-at-law) admitted in Poland, I help individuals and companies with immigration law, commercial contracts and negotiations, data protection (GDPR), corporate governance and compliance, and the cross-border questions that arise when business or life spans both countries. I work in English and Polish. What clients value most, they tell me, is directness — clear advice without jargon, and one lawyer who stays with their matter from the first conversation to its resolution.
