CMS strengthens Real Estate practice with partner appointment in Poland

CMS is pleased to announce that Adriana Andrzejewska will join the firm as a partner in its Real Estate practice in Warsaw, Poland on 2 November 2026.

Adriana rejoins CMS following roles at Addleshaw Goddard and Linklaters. She brings extensive experience advising domestic and international investors on complex real estate transactions across the hospitality, office, logistics, retail park and residential sectors. Her practice has a particular focus on the hospitality sector, working with clients and leading hotel operators across the market.

Her appointment will also support greater collaboration across CMS’s Central and Eastern European (CEE) network, as international capital continues to play an important role in the Polish real estate market.

Andrzej Pośniak, Managing Director for Central and Eastern Europe and Managing Partner for CMS Poland, said: “We are delighted to welcome Adriana back to CMS. Her appointment is an important step in our strategy to further strengthen our market-leading real estate offering in Poland and across CEE. As investment patterns evolve and international capital continues to seek opportunities across the region, clients increasingly need advisers who combine deep local market knowledge with international perspective. Adriana brings exactly that combination, and her arrival reinforces our ambition to remain at the forefront of the market.”

Agata Jurek-Zbrojska, Head of Real Estate and Construction at CMS Poland, said: “Adriana brings extensive experience advising on complex real estate transactions and a particularly strong track record in the hospitality sector. Her arrival adds further depth to our Real Estate practice and enhances our ability to support clients across a broad range of asset classes. We are delighted to welcome her to the team and look forward to working with her to support clients on their most significant investments and development projects.”

Adriana Andrzejewska said: “I am very pleased to be returning to CMS and joining one of the leading Real Estate teams in the Polish market. CMS’s strong position in Poland, international reach and broad capabilities across different areas of law provide an excellent platform for offering clients comprehensive support on ambitious and complex projects, including cross-border matters. I look forward to working with my CMS colleagues again and drawing on my many years of experience to contribute to the continued growth of the Real Estate practice.”
