Norton Rose Fulbright expands its Warsaw banking and finance practice

Global law firm Norton Rose Fulbright has strengthened its Warsaw banking and finance practice with the addition of Piotr Zawiślak, who has joined as a consultant, along with associate Julia Pycka.

Piotr Zawiślak previously led the Warsaw-based banking and finance team at Hogan Lovells. He specializes in debt capital markets, particularly asset-backed securitizations and structured debt securities. With over 20 years of experience, Piotr is among the most recognized banking and debt capital markets lawyers in Poland, widely praised for his proficiency, pragmatic approach, and swift understanding of business situations.

Piotr Zawiślak commented:

“Julia and I are delighted to be joining Norton Rose Fulbright. We will work alongside the firm’s already well established debt capital markets practice to further develop and focus on securitization. Securitizations are an increasingly important part of the financial and capital markets, and their growing number in Poland only confirms this.”

Grzegorz Dyczkowski, head of the Warsaw office and the Warsaw banking and finance practice, said:

“We are thrilled to welcome Piotr to our Warsaw team. Piotr’s vast experience and deep understanding of the banking and finance sector, combined with his outstanding reputation in debt capital markets, will enhance our capabilities in this area. His skillset aligns with the firm’s strategic vision and his arrival will see us enhance our offering to clients in the form of innovative and comprehensive solutions to their most complex financial needs. Together, we aim to build on our position as a leader in the banking and finance sector and deliver exceptional value to our clients in this ever-evolving market.”

The Warsaw banking and finance team, comprising of nearly 20 lawyers, advises international and domestic financial institutions as well as major multinational and domestic corporations on a wide variety of financial transactions. As part of the global banking and finance practice, the team collaborates closely with 700 banking lawyers worldwide on cross-border and regional transactions.

The banking and finance team at Norton Rose Fulbright offers comprehensive services to its clients, leveraging the expertise of multi-disciplinary practice groups to provide integrated advice across key industry sectors, including financial institutions, energy, infrastructure, mining and commodities, transport, technology and innovation, life sciences, and healthcare.
