The legal and compliance team I’ve joined focuses on client contracts, transactions, and regulatory aspects related to AI, data protection, and cybersecurity. We strive to help the company achieve its business objectives. What is especially exciting for me is that our team includes legal and compliance professionals from the US, the Netherlands, and Poland. We work on international projects across many jurisdictions, enhancing innovative technologies.”
