Alumni Meeting & Conference

When Innovation Meets Law.
Legal aspects of startups in Poland and United States.

Conference topic

Poland is witnessing a boom of startups. It results from the potential brought by innovative entrepreneurship, commercialization of knowledge and shift in public policy in that respect. This situation is not only beneficial for different sectors of economy but also brings new challenges for the legal branch. With the growing competition (and crisis) on legal markets both in Poland and US, startup phenomenon opens new possibilities for upcoming lawyers. The conference aims to discuss how law experts should combine their knowledge with other skills in order to be more adapted to the market of startup legal services, and how comparative legal perspective may be helpful in their legal careers in Poland, US or elsewhere.

Alumni meeting & network

Are you aware that the CUA International Business and Trade Law Program and American Law Program have over a 1,000 graduates and you are one of them? For over the last 24 years, Professors Leah Wortham, Rett Ludwikowski, the CUA and JU teams have created a community of people that share their US and Polish legal experiences. Our colleagues are professors, judges, public prosecutors, partners in law firms, politicians, business leaders, and many others. Some of us are still students of law or just graduates needing some professional guidance, either in Poland or in the US.

We would like to establish an alumni network because we believe it would be a good idea for all of us to get together, expand our network and contacts, reminisce, and catch up with old friends. In our professional life, we have to reach and interact with clients beyond our borders and the advantages of knowing locals or being able to count on the help of a local colleague makes a significant difference. It is easier to get a response from someone when looking for a job, advice, a reference, or even in general if you are able to connect with the people you are contacting. Moreover, staying connected not only promotes collegiality, but also reminds us of the reasons why we even applied to the CUA program in the first place: to expand our contacts beyond our borders, to study law in a different setting, and to experience a different culture, among other reasons. That is why we would like to provide a forum for gathering the professional and personal accomplishments of all program alumni, which we believe will also serve to make the program more prestigious for both former and future participants. This alumni network will allow us to share with others how participation in this program has assisted our career development and would help others learn from our experience.

We would like to invite you to Cracow in December 2, 2016 for the conference as well for reunion. You may also join the Cracow Alumni Group on LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/groups/Cracow-Alumni-Project-8183562 or follow us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/szkolaprawaamerykanskiego/

See you in Cracow and beyond!

“Patent Office The Republic of Poland
President Alicja Adamczak
Warsaw, 8th of September 2016
Mr.  Jakub Gładkowski KG LEGAL, Dear Sirs, (…)

I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your personal participation in the workshops “Intellectual Property in pharmaceutical-medical sector – are we innovative?”, which took place on 2nd of September 2016 in International Cultural Centre in Cracow.

The above workshops have been organized under the scientist-research project “IP and socio-economic development – Intellectual Property in the health sector innovation system in Poland”, carried out by the Patent Office of the Republic of Poland in cooperation with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). The conclusions and postulates submitted and raised by the attendees of the workshops will constitute a significant part of the report, which will be formed as a result of the project and which will make a major contribution to the improvement of the Polish innovative policy in pharmaceutical-medical sector.

I am pleased to inform, that the event has been received with a great deal of interest – over 50 people, representing various professions: government administration, business institutions, academics and researchers, entrepreneurs, lawyers, patent agents – all of them have taken part in the workshops.

The participation of Mr. Krzysztof Łanda, undersecretary of State at the Ministry of Health, proves the crucial importance of the discussed topics from the perspective of economy development and provides political support in this regard. Intense discussions during the event convince us that we should continue the debates in respect of innovations in pharmaceutical-medical sector and expand this area with new ideas. We are currently preparing a programme of a new event, which will take place in November or December.

I would like to once more express my gratitude for your devoted time and I am looking forward to develop further mutual cooperation.

Yours sincerely

Alicja Adamczak”
