My name is Małgorzata “Gosia” Lewandowska.

I’m a Polish attorney with over 18 years of experience working in business, with business, and for business. I advise Polish and international companies on corporate, commercial and compliance matters, combining legal precision with business intuition to help them operate securely and confidently.

I’ve worked with medium-sized enterprises, international corporations and global brands, both as in-house counsel and as an external advisor. This dual perspective has taught me how companies really function: how decisions are made, where pressure builds and what kind of legal support genuinely enables progress.

Over the years, I have advised clients across food and FMCG, logistics, agriculture, e-commerce, retail and technology. This diversity has shaped a practical, adaptable approach grounded in understanding business models as deeply as legal frameworks.

Outside corporate practice, I led humanitarian missions in conflict-affected regions. That experience taught me resilience, clarity and calm decision-making in high-pressure environments – qualities that continue to guide my work whenever matters are urgent, complex or require steady judgment.

Clients value my ability to understand their business quickly, communicate clearly and keep matters moving – so that projects move forward instead of stalling on legal questions.

How I Work

My work is built around three principles:

1.  Understanding

Every collaboration begins with understanding how the business operates – its goals, constraints and decision-making dynamics. Thanks to years of experience and adaptability, I move quickly to grasp context, identify what is essential and focus on solutions that are legally sound and commercially practical. The aim is always clear: act effectively from day one, not analyse endlessly.

2.  Partnership

I work with my clients, not next to them. My role is to bring structure, clarity and continuity – simplifying issues, reducing friction and ensuring legal work supports strategic decisions. Partnership for me means alignment, transparent communication and shared responsibility.

3.  Execution

I adapt easily to different environments,  from global corporations to family businesses to start-ups. I stay calm, focused and decisive, especially when issues are urgent or unexpected. In business, speed and clarity matter, and effective legal execution should support momentum, not slow it down.

Warszawa

Every project is a shared journey, built on trust, accountability and partnership.
My goal is always the same: to make legal work an enabler of progress – not an obstacle.

When a project requires interdisciplinary insight, I collaborate with trusted specialists giving clients one aligned, coordinated perspective.

My Approach

Practical & Business-Focused

I focus on legal solutions that support business decisions. My work is grounded in clarity, context and good judgment – ensuring outcomes that are realistic, effective and aligned with commercial priorities.

 

Authentic & Down-to-Earth

I don’t believe in distance between lawyers and business. I work alongside my clients – transparently, respectfully and as a partner. Trust and authenticity build results faster than any legal clause ever could.

 

Clear & Action – Oriented

Law should support, not complicate.
I make legal work understandable, actionable and aligned with how companies actually operate. My aim is to give leaders peace of mind –knowing that their legal matters are under control.
