Agnieszka Witaszek discusses China–Europe business at the Warsaw-Beijing Forum
Agnieszka Witaszek took part in the 11th edition of the Warsaw-Beijing Forum, held under the theme “Shaping the New Global Era”. The Forum brings together students, academics and experts from Poland, China and other countries to discuss the impact of technology, international relations and evolving legal frameworks on the global business environment.
During the panel “China–Europe Business in Practice: How Lawyers Navigate EU Regulations for Chinese Companies”, Agnieszka Witaszek joined a discussion on the practical challenges faced by companies operating between China and Europe.
The discussion covered issues including:
- personal data transfers and EU data protection requirements;
- cybersecurity regulations and the costs of implementing new compliance requirements;
- contract negotiations in Polish-Chinese business relations;
- preparing for potential disputes and arbitration; and
- adapting to an increasingly complex EU regulatory environment.
SSW has supported the Warsaw-Beijing Forum for many years. We value the opportunity the initiative gives students from China and Poland to meet, exchange ideas and gain different perspectives on the legal and business issues shaping international cooperation. We would like to thank the organisers for inviting us to take part in this year’s edition.
At SSW, we advise European and Chinese clients on cross-border business, combining knowledge of EU regulations with practical experience in international transactions and commercial relationships. This perspective helps businesses anticipate regulatory risks and make informed decisions in an evolving legal and business environment.
