Former Polskie Elektrownie Jadrowe Vice-President of the Management Board Lukasz Mlynarkiewicz has joined Kochanski & Partners as a Partner in its Infrastructure, Energy, Environment, and ESG Practice Group and will also serve as the Head of the Nuclear Energy Practice.

Before the move, Mlynarkiewicz was with Polskie Elektrownie Jadrowe between 2022 and 2024. Earlier, he was the President of Panstwowa Agencja Atomistyki between 2019 and 2022, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Wojewodzki Fundusz Ochrony Srodowiska i Gospodarki Wodnej w Gdansku between 2018 and 2020, as well as the Director of the Environmental Impact Assessment Department of the Generalna Dyrekcja Ochrony Srodowiska between 2017 and 2010.
