Four areas,
where I make the difference.

I don't provide public affairs services in general. I work in four narrowly defined areas where, over 18 years, I've built real relationships, intuition and method. The rest is courtesy.

Chapter 02.01 · Government Relations
01

Relationships that outlast political terms.

I build and maintain professional relationships with decision-makers in the Sejm, Senate, ministries, central agencies and EU institutions. I don't sell access - I sell expertise and precision that open doors and remain when cabinets change.

Every project starts with stakeholder mapping. Who is intellectually close to the topic? Who has real voting power? Who acts as a bridge to other factions? Without this map, advocacy strategy is wishful thinking.

  • Decision-maker mapping at national and EU level
  • Industry representation during legislative consultations
  • Position papers, expert opinions, briefings tailored to specific audiences
  • Coaching for in-house GR teams and preparation for high-stakes meetings
  • Building and leading industry coalitions on systemic matters

Chapter 02.02 · Crisis Management
02

The first six hours decide the next five years.

When the press is asking, regulators are watching, and the market is waiting for a statement - you have 24 hours to position yourself. Not 24 days, not 24 hours from tomorrow. Twenty-four hours from now.

I work with boards and communications teams in situations of high political, regulatory and media risk. I have a decision protocol, tested in 30+ campaigns, that helps avoid the costly mistakes of the first hours.

  • Crisis war room - operational decision structure for the duration of the crisis
  • Communications strategy that accounts for the regulator's and politician's perspective, not just the media's
  • Position papers, statements, Q&A scenarios for journalists and parliamentary committees
  • Coordination with litigation and regulatory counsel - one message, not five contradictory ones
  • Post-crisis: rebuilding narrative and relationships with key stakeholders

Chapter 02.03 · Stakeholder Engagement
03

Before you walk in, you know who's sitting across the table.

There is no topic that touches only one stakeholder group. Infrastructure investment - that's the local community, the municipality, environmental NGOs, the regulator, the investor, the media, MPs from the constituency. Each has its own perspective, concerns and goals. Without a map of this ecosystem, you're negotiating blind.

I map, prioritise, and engage key stakeholders in multi-stakeholder environments. I help boards understand why a message that worked for one group can be a disaster for another.

  • Comprehensive stakeholder map with influence and stance analysis
  • Engagement strategy tailored per group - from regulator to local community
  • Multi-party dialogue facilitation in politically tense situations
  • Cooperation with industry associations, chambers of commerce, think tanks
  • Reputation risk monitoring from NGOs and pressure groups

Chapter 02.04 · Regulatory Intelligence
04

A warning, before the headline appears.

Most companies learn of an adverse regulation when the bill reaches parliament. That is usually too late - the directional decisions were taken months earlier in working groups, EU committees, ministerial expert teams. That is where it pays to be present.

I monitor legislative changes and deliver impact analysis tailored to the specific business. Not a newsletter of headlines - written briefs with a recommendation: observe, act preventively, engage actively.

  • Monitoring of legislative processes in Poland and the EU in client-critical areas
  • Impact analysis - short, business-focused, with concrete board recommendations
  • Early warnings on initiatives at the assumption stage, before they enter public consultation
  • Quarterly briefs for boards or supervisory boards - regulatory outlook
  • Dedicated thematic monitoring: ESG, AI Act, CSRD, energy, finance, data protection

Chapter 02.05 · FAQ

What's worth knowing before the first call.

Mostly with boards of listed companies, board members responsible for regulatory and communications matters, GR directors, and owners of companies in heavily regulated sectors. Occasionally with law firms, where I serve as the political-dimension partner.
No. Selectively. I accept a limited number of engagements to ensure each client gets real attention and time. I decline when I see a conflict of interest with my current portfolio, when the topic is outside my areas of competence, or when the client's values are incompatible with mine.
Standard model is a monthly retainer for long-term engagements. One-off cases - project or hourly rate. Crises - crisis rate, always confirmed by email before starting. I don't work on success fees in regulatory matters, as it creates a conflict of interest with respect to decision-makers.
No. Anyone who guarantees outcomes in public affairs should raise your suspicions. I guarantee diligence, transparency, daily reporting and full commitment. Ninety-four percent of my campaigns ended with the expected outcome - six percent did not. That's an honest figure.
Regularly. Public affairs and regulatory law are two distinct tools that are more effective together than apart. I have a permanent network of partner firms in Warsaw and Brussels with whom I coordinate when a client needs both competencies at once.
Absolutely. Every engagement is conducted under NDA, and in matters of particular sensitivity - additional protocols govern document storage and communication. I disclose client names only with their written consent - which is why this site does not list references.
— First conversation —

Every regulation begins as a conversation.

Thirty minutes, no obligations. We'll see whether I can really help - or I'll be honest that this isn't my topic.
