Former Rymarz Zdort Maruta Partner Agnieszka Skorupinska has joined Baker McKenzie as a Partner in its International, Commercial and Trade practice. She will lead the firm's Warsaw-based sustainability and energy transition practice.

Before the move, Skorupinska was with Rymarz Zdort Maruta as a Partner between 2023 and 2024 (as reported by CEE Legal Matters on July 4, 2023). Earlier, she was with CMS as a Counsel between 2017 and 2020 and as a Partner between 2020 and 2023. Earlier still, he was with Dentons as an Associate between 2011 and 2013, as a Senior Associate between 2013 and 2016, and as a Counsel between 2016 and 2017. She began her career with WKB as an Associate between 2008 and 2011.

"Agnieszka's unique combination of energy and projects and environmental law expertise is exactly what our clients need as they navigate a complex web of global ESG regulations and embrace the energy transition," commented London Partner and Chair of the Firm’s global International, Commercial and Trade Practice Group Sunny Mann. 

"We are delighted that Agnieszka is joining us," added Managing Partner of Baker McKenzie's Warsaw office Weronika Achramowicz. "Her addition comes at a crucial time as we anticipate increased strategic investments in the energy transition in Poland, with businesses looking to accelerate their sustainability journey. Agnieszka's knowledge and experience will be invaluable in guiding our clients on this path."

"Supporting clients with their sustainability goals has been at the center of my focus for years," added Skorupinska. "I am proud to join Baker McKenzie, a global firm that understands the potential of zero-emission energy sources and also excels in advising on green bonds, green leases, and investments in companies committed to creating positive impact. I look forward to leveraging the firm’s global platform to support businesses who aim to take forward their responsible business strategies while managing legal risks in a rapidly changing energy market in Poland and worldwide."
