Strategic Framework Cooperation Agreement between the Faculty of Law and Administration, University of Warsaw, and Greenberg Traurig

The Faculty of Law and Administration of the University of Warsaw (WPiA UW) announces the establishment of a strategic framework cooperation agreement with the international law firm Greenberg Traurig. The framework agreement provides for extensive collaboration in research and development, expert consulting, as well as project and implementation initiatives focused on bridging science and business.

The ceremonial signing of the agreement was attended by Dr. habil. Sławomir Żółtek, Professor at the University of Warsaw, Dean of the Faculty of Law and Administration, Dr. habil. Anna Zbiegień-Turzańska, Professor at the University of Warsaw, Vice-Dean for Cooperation with the Socio-Economic Environment, and Dr. Valery Vachev, Head of Legal Studies, along with Jolanta Nowakowska-Zimoch, Managing Partner of Greenberg Traurig Poland, and Dr. Maciej Tąkiel, Director of Business Development and Innovation at Greenberg Traurig, who will also be responsible for implementing the cooperation between the parties.

“Our ambition is to shape academic frameworks based on the highest and most modern global teaching standards. Achieving this goal requires close collaboration with the business community. The legal market is currently highly dynamic—if we want to ensure an up-to-date and innovative approach to education and research, a lasting bridge between leaders in academia, business, and technology is indispensable. We are delighted to welcome Greenberg Traurig to the circle of the Faculty’s strategic partners,”
said Dr. habil. Sławomir Żółtek, Professor at the University of Warsaw, Dean of the Faculty of Law and Administration.
