Poland: Schoenherr further strengthens its Warsaw real estate practice group

They bring a wealth of knowledge and an excellent track record to Schoenherr's dynamic Polish office. Prior to joining Schoenherr, the new team members worked in real estate and real estate finance with leading international firms in Poland. 

Marta Bijak-Haiduk, joining as partner, has vast experience with various types of real estate transactions, including JVs, financing structures, asset and share deals. She has represented clients in negotiations of lease agreements concerning logistics, office and retail buildings as well as in build-to-own development agreements, and advised on the construction process. Marta takes over the helm of the firm's real estate practice.

Dominika Sulak-Seyfried, senior attorney at law/advocate, focuses on advising domestic and international entities on real estate transactions, as well as construction and development projects, including various aspects of financing.

Patrycja Czarnecka, associate/advocate, works primarily on transactional real estate matters and her legal career has been focused on various real estate transaction related topics.

"Schoenherr has a strong real estate practice in the CEE/SEE," said partner Sebastian Gutiu, who co-heads Schoenherr's real estate practice. "As Poland continues to play a key role in the regional real estate market, we are confident that the consolidation of our specialised team in Warsaw will add value for our clients and our firm."

"I am delighted to welcome Marta, Dominika and Patrycja to our Warsaw practice," the office's managing partner Paweł Halwa added. "I am convinced that they are a great fit for our team and that the strengthened real estate practice led by Marta will further boost our growth in Poland."

"This is an amazing experience to be a member of Schoenherr and I am eager to continue to develop the real estate practice together with such an exceptional team," said the new head of the Warsaw real estate team, Marta Bijak-Haiduk.
