Paulina Religa

Senior Associate

As an attorney, I support entrepreneurs in the areas of new technology law, e-commerce, consumer protection, fair competition, and responsible environmental communication. I advise companies operating in a rapidly changing regulatory environment and help them translate complex regulations into concrete actions. I am particularly interested in areas where law intersects with technology, sustainable development, and consumer protection, including greenwashing, regulations governing online platforms, AI, digital accessibility, and corporate responsibility regarding how companies communicate about their products and services. I am also a European Ambassador for the Climate Pact. In my work, I value clear communication, a practical approach, and solutions that are not only legally compliant but also feasible in the real business world. After work, you'll most often find me reading a good book, at an art gallery, or discussing how technology and climate are changing modern business.

What I Do

I specialize in

From launch through day-to-day operations to decisions that demand precision, we guide businesses through each stage of growth with legal support in these areas.

E-commerce and Consumer Law

I support online retailers in aligning their processes, terms and conditions, and communications with consumer law requirements. I help identify risks relating to complaints, contract withdrawal, price presentation, consumer reviews, dark patterns, and information duties.

Responsible Communication and Greenwashing

I advise on marketing communications concerning sustainability, environmental matters, and the impact of products on the environment. I help assess whether environmental claims are reliable, understandable, and consistent with current legal requirements and consumer-protection practice.

Fair Competition and Market Practices

I advise on commercial communications, labelling, marketing claims, and sales practices. I help assess when a message may mislead consumers or breach fair-competition principles.

From Challenge to Solution

How I Work

Once a business is up and running, the greatest risks often come not from individual decisions but from everyday friction: delays, uncertainty and operational disarray. Legal support should work quietly in the background, keeping pace with the business, not holding it back.

Situation

An online clothing retailer planned to introduce a new returns and complaints process and wanted first to ensure that its existing terms and checkout contained no practices that could be considered dark patterns.

Action

I reviewed the customer journey and terms and conditions step by step, checking information on the right of withdrawal, the presentation of prices and customer reviews, and points at which users might be misled about the offer terms.

Outcome

The client implemented revised terms and conditions and changed several interface elements before the promotional campaign began, reducing the risk of consumer complaints and intervention by the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection.

Situation

An entrepreneur developing a digital business needed support with organising the company structure and preparing documentation.

Action

I supported the client in preparing the necessary documents and organising its corporate matters.

Outcome

The client gained greater organisational clarity and was better prepared for further business growth.

Situation

A technology startup was developing a project based on blockchain solutions and needed support in organising its legal affairs.

Action

I analysed the project's operating model and prepared solutions tailored to the technology and the client's business needs.

Outcome

The company was able to develop the project in a more structured and secure manner.

The Principles That Guide Me

A Practical Approach

I value turning legal advice into concrete decisions and practical action. I look for solutions that are not only legally sound, but also clear and workable in a company's day-to-day operations.

Curiosity

New technologies and changing sales models require continuous learning. These are the areas where I most enjoy combining legal knowledge with close observation of market trends.

Collaborative Partnership

I focus on clear communication and developing solutions together, tailored to the client's business.
