Jarosław Sroka advises both contractors (mainly) and ordering parties (occasionally) on all stages of the procurement process. LYNX’s primary focus is on a spectrum of projects carried out across sectors such as:
• infrastructure, incl. transport (road, rail, air) and energy (on- and offshore wind farms, offshore drilling units, gas pipelines, high voltage power lines);
• defence and national security;
• telecoms/IT;
• healthcare, pharma and life sciences.
Tenders won by the team to date involve some of Poland’s largest civilian and military investments, incl. the construction of expressways and motorways (e.g. S1, S6, S10, S19, A1, A2), along with auxiliary infrastructure (motorway toll collection systems, traffic management systems), railways and railway stations (e.g. sections of the railways near Cracow and the modernisation of LCC Radom), airports (e.g. CPK – Poland’s first mega-airport), stadiums, as well as extension of power lines and substation conversions, and many more.
In addition to expertise in contract award procedures, Jarosław represents contractors in disputes with contracting authorities before the National Appeals Chamber and common courts, incl. the Supreme Court. Over the past 15 years, LYNX has appeared in many of the biggest infrastructure disputes against the state.
