For nearly 15 years, Weronika has been advising employers on the most demanding issues in the field of labour law. She specialises in handling sensitive employee matters, in particular those concerning mobbing, discrimination, unequal treatment, violations of workplace coexistence rules, and other undesirable phenomena in organisations.
An important area of her practice is conducting investigative proceedings on behalf of employers. Weronika supports clients in investigating employee reports and irregularities, including allegations of mobbing, breaches of ethical standards, conflicts of interest, managerial abuse, and irregularities in internal relations. She combines her knowledge of labour law with a practical approach to legal, reputational and organisational risk management. She also advises on the design and implementation of internal procedures to prevent undesirable phenomena, including anti-mobbing and anti-discrimination procedures and procedures for reporting violations (whistleblowers). She supports employers both at the prevention stage and in crisis situations.
Weronika advises on individual and collective labour law, employment restructuring, transfers of undertakings (including cross-border processes), personal data protection, and labour law disputes. She represents employers before labour courts and acts as a representative in employee disputes. She also supports clients in mergers and acquisitions, in analysing the remuneration structures of key employees, and in non-financial reporting issues in the social area (ESG). She conducts training courses on labour law, in particular for international employers.
Her client portfolio includes companies from many sectors of the economy, including finance, IT, BPO and SSC. She also has experience in advising state-owned enterprises, including on employment restructuring and relations with trade unions.
She graduated from the Faculty of Law and Administration of the University of Warsaw in 2012 and completed a course in American law at the Center for American Law Studies co-organised by the University of Warsaw and the University of Florida Levin College of Law. She qualified as an advocate in 2017.
