I was drawn to insolvency and restructuring law because of its significant influence on business survival and economic stability. In Poland, these areas are crucial for companies in financial distress, as the legal framework provides opportunities for recovery, not just failure. Guiding businesses through restructuring helps preserve jobs, rejuvenates industries, and fosters long-term stability. The ability to merge legal strategy with financial insight was a perfect fit for my skill set and passion. Additionally, when I obtained my restructuring advisor license in 2016, a landmark amendment to Polish restructuring and bankruptcy law came into force.
