Dominik Bala

About me

I am a legal advisor, member of the District Chamber of Legal Advisors in Warsaw. Before establishing Capital Legal, I cooperated with leading Warsaw law firms by being part of the corporate services and public procurement law departments. I have considerable experience in providing legal services to commercial law companies as a so-called in-house lawyer. Since the beginning of my professional career, I have had the opportunity to accumulate knowledge in the area of corporate law and contract law.

I have a special interest in projects that require analytical skills from a lawyer. I participated in projects related to, among others, the informatization of health care, the transformation of a group of FMCG manufacturing companies, the implementation and maintenance of information systems, and others. I prepared investment, implementation or maintenance contracts. More than once I took an active part in negotiations between the parties to the transaction.

I have come to believe that effective provision of legal services requires not only knowledge of the letter and practice of the law, but also non-legal knowledge. The ability to work with interdisciplinary issues for years has provided me with the practice of public procurement law, where success is often determined by issues that go far beyond the statutory matter. I have been dealing with public procurement law since 2014. I regularly represent my clients before the National Board of Appeals. I have participated in dozens of hearings before the NAC.

To meet the needs of modern business, I provide comprehensive legal support to entrepreneurs who provide services and conduct sales electronically. I advise healthcare entities, including those providing telemedicine services. At Capital Legal, I am responsible for the Personal Data Protection Department. Together with a team of lawyers, I have participated in dozens of RODO (GDPR) implementations and audits over the past years.

I regularly provide legal comments published in the services: Subjectively about Finance, Polish Press Agency, Polsat News, Dziennik Gazeta Prawna.

I enjoy working with the IT, design and consulting industries, among others.

I graduated in law from the Faculty of Law and Administration of the Jagiellonian University in Cracow. I am a graduate of postgraduate studies in public procurement law at the Warsaw School of Economics.
