Magdalena Świtajska
Magdalena Świtajska, adwokat, handles individual and collective labour law, in particular difficult redundancies of senior managers and protected workers, restructurings, transfers, cross-border aspects of employment law, and employment-related civil and criminal matters (such as civil and criminal liability of employees and employers, liability in damages, protection of individual rights, confidentiality and non-competition). She has been advising clients for many years on legalisation of work and stay of third party nationals in Poland, delegating third party nationals to work in Poland and delegating Polish citizens to work abroad.

This gives rise to significant practical problems.
