CMS Poland is pleased to announce that Adam Jodkowski, from the Dispute Resolution team, and Agnieszka Starzyńska, from the Competition Practice and Life Sciences Group, have both been promoted to counsel. Their appointments came into effect on 1 July 2021. In total, CMS Poland made twenty-three internal promotions this year.
“This year's promotions illustrate the high competence of the new counsels and our strategy on the Polish market, but above all they are the result of the lawyers themselves seeking their own path of development, actively cooperating with colleagues from other practices and developing contacts with clients”, emphasised Andrzej Pośniak, Managing Partner at CMS Poland.
About CMS Poland’s new counsels:
Adam Jodkowski, advocate, has specialised in civil proceedings and commercial disputes for 12 years. As counsel, he intends to develop his practice in resolving disputes in the financial services sector, including insurance claims. Adam has been successfully advising financial institutions in litigation matters for many years and has successfully represented financial market entities in proceedings concerning financial services. He also represents banks and insurance companies in competition and consumer protection matters, and advises insurers in loss adjusting processes and in court proceedings involving insurance claims.
