At the beginning of 2023, Jarosław Witek joined Dentons' Warsaw office as a partner. In his new role, he will be responsible for leading the multidisciplinary Defense and Security group in Poland.

Jarosław Witek is a legal advisor with nearly 15 years of experience in defense, public security and aerospace projects, particularly offset, industrial cooperation, and defense and security procurement. He represents suppliers of military and aerospace equipment in negotiating supply contracts with the Polish Armaments Inspectorate/Armament Agency and supply-related offset projects. He also assists clients in negotiating offset agreements with the Polish Ministry of Defense as well as technology transfer agreements and license agreements with designated Polish partners. He has security clearance with the European Union, NATO and European Space Agency.

"As a result of the war in Ukraine, our government has had to redefine its approach to security and defense. The establishment of a multidisciplinary Defense and Security group addresses this new reality and growing market need," said Arkadiusz Krasnodębski, Poland Managing Partner. "Jarosław's unique experience gained on some of the most demanding projects on the market, and his in-depth knowledge of the defense and security sector open up new opportunities for us to provide top quality services in response to the evolving needs of our clients."

The multidisciplinary Defense and Security group will build on Dentons’ defense-sector procurement advice provided by partner Anna Szymańska in the Public Procurement and Government Contracts team.
