Cezary Cienkowski Becomes General Counsel at Burgundy Capital Management

Burgundy Capital Management has appointed Cezary Cienkowski as its new General Counsel.

Burgundy Asset Management provides investment management services.

Before moving to Burgundy Asset Management in 2025, Cienkowski spent almost 12 years in private practice. Earlier, he was an In-House Counsel with CTL Logistics Group between 2012 and 2014. Earlier still, he was an Associate with Salans between 2010 and 2012 and a Lawyer with Pietrzak Sidor & Wspolnicy between 2007 and 2010.

“Over the years, I’ve worked with [Burgundy Asset Management Chief Investment Officer] Gabriel Olearnik on a number of deals and disputes, and together we’ve looked at over 430 disputes internationally, with an aggregate value of USD 110 billion,” explained Cienkowski. “We saw there was a gap in the market for the next generation of strategic advice for claimant parties: we work with law firms to bring together legal, litigation finance, and investigations resources. We are not replacing the legal advice but hopefully acting as a force multiplier.”
