Paweł Zieliński

His professional interests revolve around legal crisis management, particularly in civil law—both substantive and procedural—as well as media law and the protection of personal rights. He builds his expertise not only through practical experience but also by actively monitoring emerging trends in media law (e.g., as a participant in PR & Media Days 2024) and staying up to date with key legal developments.
He joined KKZ in 2020, effectively leveraging his over 10 years of experience in handling cases concerning the protection of personal rights, the publication of press corrections, as well as defamation and insult offenses (private indictment). Since 2025, he has served as the Head of the Press Law and Reputation Crisis Management Practice, having previously held the position of Team Leader of the Media Law Department.

He supports clients in combating online hate speech, as well as the publication of false, misleading information or unsubstantiated opinions about them. As an expert in preventing and mitigating reputation crises, he identifies risks and recommends solutions that effectively safeguard the client’s interests. He provides comprehensive assistance in media relations and ensures that all communications comply with legal standards.
He has represented clients as counsel in numerous high-profile court proceedings across the country. On multiple occasions, he has secured favorable judgments, requiring opposing parties to publish apologies or corrections in Poland’s leading media outlets, including television stations, print media, and online portals.

His services are sought by Poland’s largest companies and their management boards, entrepreneurs, publishers, editors-in-chief of traditional and online media, journalists, content creators, YouTubers, government agencies and officials, senior law enforcement representatives, leading politicians, and other high-profile public figures.
