We are pleased to announce that on 1 December 2024 Magdalena Pyzik-Waląg became a managing partner of Rymarz Zdort Maruta. The firm has gained an experienced leader for its management body who will be able to share her unique perspective of the business, which is sure to prove invaluable.
Magdalena joined Rymarz Zdort Maruta in 2006, and since 2018 she has headed the Restructuring and Insolvency practice as well as the Distressed Asset Investments team. She has many years of experience in handling complex M&A transactions, both at the domestic and international level, as well as in restructuring and insolvency matters, where she has frequently played a leading role in complex proceedings of that type, including some of the largest resolution proceedings and restructurings in Poland and Europe. Under Magdalena’s lead, the team has conducted ground-breaking transactions using advanced legal tools that were not previously applied in the European Union. An acclaimed lawyer, she has received numerous awards and distinctions in Polish and international legal rankings.
“I would like to thank the partners of Rymarz Zdort Maruta for the confidence they have shown in me by deciding to entrust me with the position of managing partner. This is not only a great moment for me personally, but also a great honour and acknowledgement of the work and achievements of my team” – says Magdalena Pyzik-Waląg, the new managing partner of Rymarz Zdort Maruta.
“Over the past few years, Magdalena has definitely stood out among all of our partners, which is no easy task given the ambitious team of high-calibre professionals that we have built. However, if we were to award a prize for the ‘Most Successful Practice Development in a Given Year’, I am sure Magdalena would win it hands down every year. Although the area of restructuring is not always associated with the happiest moments in the corporate life cycle and is often highly complex, Magda has a unique talent for making such processes not only effective but also as agreeable and easy as possible. I believe that Magda’s experience, skills and knowledge will also be very useful and valuable in such a responsible and multi-faceted task as co-managing a law firm and shaping its further development,” said Paweł Rymarz, a managing partner of Rymarz Zdort Maruta.
“We have always sought to create the best conditions for our lawyers to develop, gain recognition and appreciation from clients as well as achieve professional success. Magda is a perfect example that our approach delivers the desired results. I am proud that we are able to entrust the co-management of the firm to a lawyer who, more than 18 years ago, chose our law firm to develop her professional career. I believe that Magda’s many years of experience, combined with her creativity, commitment and energy, will take us to places we never dared to dream of” comments Paweł Zdort, a managing partner of Rymarz Zdort Maruta.
