Aleksandra Stępniewska is a highly experienced legal expert specializing in business criminal law. She joined WKB Lawyers in February 2020 as Counsel and Co-Head of the Business Criminal Law Practice. With an extensive background in both common and business criminal law and compliance, she advises and represents clients in complex domestic and cross-border matters.

Aleksandra has been admitted not only to Polish but also to the French Bar. Her deep understanding of French law and legal practice, combined with fluency in English and French, allows her to effectively support international clients. Even before joining the French Bar, she was actively involved in high-stakes international litigation, representing a Polish company in criminal proceedings before the French courts as part of an international defense team.

Her international expertise extends to EU law, compliance and whistleblowing management systems, and cross-border regulatory matters. She is particularly valued for her empathetic and strategic approach in handling internal investigations, where she ensures procedural fairness—an area in which she has also provided numerous trainings.

Recognizing the business realities her clients face, Aleksandra is adept at offering and implementing tailored legal solutions that align with both short- and long-term corporate strategies. She is a strong advocate for the development of younger lawyers, mentoring and promoting their expertise within the profession.
