As part of my services, I offer professional educational support that will enable your staff to enhance their competencies and ensure the highest standards of legal service within your office. I will answer pressing questions, such as: How to avoid errors in the course of administrative proceedings within an LGU? What are the boundaries of access to public information, and when can its disclosure be refused? What are the key duties of councilors, and how should they exercise their mandate? What is the actual liability of public officials for issued decisions, and how to effectively implement GDPR principles in public administration?

During the training sessions, I will explain to you how to apply the provisions of the Code of Administrative Procedure in practice to minimize the risk of decisions being overturned by higher-instance bodies or courts. You will learn how to safely process residents’ data in accordance with GDPR requirements and how to manage the flow of information to protect privacy while maintaining the transparency of public life. If your unit needs to systematize knowledge regarding the financial liability of public officials or wishes to prepare councilors for the efficient performance of their functions—I invite you to get in touch. I will prepare a training session tailored to your specific needs.
