A New Member Has Been Elected to the Board of Directors of the European Association of Lawyers

On July 10, 2025, the Annual General Assembly of the European Association of Lawyers (AEA-EAL) was held, during which a new member of the Board of Directors was elected. Mr. Michał Widawski, Attorney at Law (Radca Prawny) and member of the Gdańsk Bar Association of Attorneys at Law (Poland), has joined the Board of AEA-EAL.

In professional career he holds a position of a Managing Partner at the Law Firm in Gdańsk and serves as general counsel in one of companies operating in CEE region. Beyond his primary responsibilities, he is involved in the corporate governance of other companies in Poland and actively collaborates with local and international organizations, NGOs, and academic institutions. His professional experience includes specialization in corporate law, M&A, due diligence, and the succession and restructuring of family-owned and international businesses. Michał directly works for international capital groups, and represents clients in civil, administrative, criminal, and commercial disputes.

Since 2012, Mr. Widawski has been serving as a member of the Permanent Commission for International Cooperation at the Gdańsk Bar Association of Attorneys at Law. Over the years, he has taken part as a speaker and delegate in numerous legal events across Europe and internationally. He also serves as a delegate in both regional and national elections to the Polish Bar Association of Attorneys at Law.

Mr. Widawski’s cooperation with the Association dates back to 2019, when he co-organized and participated as a speaker in the “Twinning of Lawyers” event held in Gdańsk, representing his Bar Association. He remains a strong advocate for the continuation of this initiative, launched by the immediate past President of AEA-EAL, Maria Ślązak.

His extensive experience and dedication to international legal cooperation will further strengthen the mission and activities of AEA-EAL.
