DLA Piper Enhances Advisory Team with New Of Counsel

DLA Piper Poland takes its advisory services for infrastructure projects to a new level with the appointment of Jan Styliński as Of Counsel. In his role, Jan will support clients on complex infrastructure projects and strategic advice on PPP projects, contracting and partner selection for major investments.

His appointment is part of DLA Piper’s response to growing market needs and changing economic conditions, with infrastructure investment projects and sustainability becoming a global priority.

Investment in infrastructure and sustainable development are priorities for governments around the world. This applies to both developing markets feeling the pressure from population growth and industrialisation, and developed markets facing the challenge of modernising ageing resources. Global investment needs in infrastructure present both significant challenges and unique opportunities. DLA Piper Poland’s cooperation with experienced experts who provide holistic support on both legal, economic and strategic issues is the answer.

“It is my priority to support clients in projects of high regulatory and contractual complexity, taking into account the latest developments in the international market,” says Jan Styliński. “As someone who works in the field of construction and “PPPs, I am looking forward to having the opportunity to work with a team that appreciates the importance of collaboration at the interface between law and economics.”

Jan Styliński’s new role at the firm is a natural step towards interdisciplinary advice that responds to the increasing complexity of investment projects. To fully exploit the potential of this cooperation, DLA Piper previously appointed Dr Damian Kaźmierczak in a newly created role as economic advisor. Damian is a recognised economist and specialist in the economic analysis of construction and investment projects. By combining legal and economic expertise, the firm provides clients with full support – from legal analysis to a comprehensive approach to financial risk management.

“The role of economic analysis is becoming an indispensable part of comprehensive consultancy in infrastructure and investment projects. Collaboration at the intersection of law and economics will enable DLA Piper to support clients even more effectively in complex economic matters, and the clients to better manage risks and adapt strategies to current market trends,” emphasises Damian Kaźmierczak.

The firm’s Warsaw office employs 130 lawyers who advise clients in sectors such as new infrastructure, energy, construction, technology or real estate, The firm offers clients support in mergers and acquisitions, financial markets and corporate restructuring, combining legal expertise with economic analysis to meet the demands of today’s market.

“Global trends, such as the growing demand for infrastructure and the development of smart cities, require us to provide an innovative and comprehensive offer to the construction or infrastructure sector. At DLA Piper, we are committed to being competitive by creating cutting-edge positions that go beyond traditional legal advice. Jan’s appointment allows us to support clients in more complex projects by offering strategic advice at every stage of the project.
