May 5, 2022 – Dentons has appointed partner Ewa Rutkowska-Subocz as Head of the Europe Public Law and Regulatory practice for the term ending December 31, 2024. In this new role, she will be responsible for establishing and leading a full-scope offering to assist clients in navigating the increasingly complex regulatory environment.
The Europe Public Law and Regulatory practice will provide legal advice and litigation support related to public procurement and tendering, government contracts (including PPP and concessions), labelling, administrative law, environmental law (including REACH and chemicals), urban planning, climate change, product liability, mining regulatory, and defense and security. The practice will also collaborate closely with sector groups such as Energy, Technology Media and Telecommunications, Life Sciences and Healthcare to deliver sector-specific regulatory advice.
Ewa Rutkowska-Subocz commented on her vision for the group, “The newly created Europe Public Law and Regulatory practice has the ambition to become the European center of excellence in key regulatory competences, offering clients high-quality, innovative and practical solutions to help them make their business operations safe and profitable.”
Ewa Rutkowska-Subocz has more than 25 years’ experience advising clients on all aspects of business operations from the angle of environmental and climate change law. She advises corporate clients - mainly from the manufacturing, energy, real estate, and industrial sectors - and public bodies on both contentious and non-contentious matters related to local and EU law. Based in Warsaw, she has led the Europe Environmental practice since 2015, and is recognized as a top tier lawyer in her field by Chambers Europe 2022.
Tomasz Dąbrowski, CEO of Dentons Europe, commented, “Regulatory advice is among the fastest growing areas of law in terms of client demand. With her stellar market reputation, and solid track record leading the Environmental practice, I am confident that Ewa is the right choice to lead and develop our wider Public Law and Regulatory practice across Europe.”
