What types of companies does Katarzyna usually advise?

Can Katarzyna support international fintech and technology companies entering Poland and the EU?

Yes. Katarzyna advises international fintech, AI, payment, crypto, SaaS, and technology companies on entering and operating within Poland and the wider EU regulatory environment.

Her work helps clients understand:
which regulations apply,

how to structure compliant operations,
and what needs to be prepared before launch.

She regularly advises on MiCA, DORA, AML, GDPR, AI Act, operational compliance and financial regulation matters.

How does Katarzyna work with existing legal, product and compliance teams?

Katarzyna works as a strategic legal and regulatory partner to internal legal, compliance, product and leadership teams.

Her role is not only to identify legal risks, but also to help teams understand:
what regulations mean in practice, how they affect the product and business model, and how to implement compliance requirements in a commercially realistic way.

She supports companies operating in fast-moving and highly regulated environments
where legal, operational and product decisions are closely connected. Her advice is practical, business-oriented and designed to help teams move forward with clarity.
