The team at CMS is part of the firm’s global technology, media and telecoms offering, and in 2023, the local EU trade mark and design team merged with the data department to operate under one banner. The resultant group is adept at handling data breaches and cybersecurity incidents, as well as complaints and inquiries from data subjects. Tomasz Koryzma sits at the helm of the department, which boasts ‘great experts in data protection’, including counsel Damian Karwala, who ’stands out as an expert on international data transfers’. Senior associate Adriana Zdanowicz-Leśniak is also a notable member of the team with expertise in GDPR matters.
