Between 2011 and 2021 he was a lawyer at the Campaign Against Homophobia. He has over 15 years of experience in the provision of legal assistance in cases related to discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, which also includes the representation of clients before national and international judicial authorities.

So far, he has acted, among others:

• as one of the legal representatives in the case of transcription of the foreign marriage certificate of Jakub Cupriak-Trojan and Mateusz Trojan, which ended with the judgments of the Court of Justice of the EU and the Supreme Administrative Court, which obliged Polish authorities to start transcribing foreign marriage certificates of same-sex couples and recognizing their marriage status in Poland [see more],
• as one of the legal representatives in the case of homophobic beating, which led to the European Court of Human Rights issuing a judgment in the case of Bednarek and others v. Poland, in which the Court found the lack of an effective mechanism for protection against homophobic hate crimes in Poland [see more],
• as a coordinator of the Coalition for Civil Partnerships and Marriage Equality, a strategic litigation program in which 5 same-sex couples lodged the applications to the European Court of Human Rights which resulted in issuing a judgment that obliges Poland to introduce legal provisions allowing same-sex couples to formalize their relationship [see more],
• as a legal representative in the so-called Printer from Łódź case, that led to a precedent judgment of the Supreme Court, in which the prohibition of discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation in the access to services was confirmed for the first time [see more],
• as a legal representative of Jakub Lendzion in the case against one of the Warsaw public schools, in which the first-ever ruling was issued that stated the school’s responsibility for violating the personal rights of a student experiencing homophobia from other students [see more].

In the last 16 years he has also collaborated with a number of national non-governmental organizations specializing in human rights protection, including Polish Society for Anti-Discrimination Law, Lambda Warsaw, Open Republic, Love Does Not Exclude Association and Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights.

In addition to his legal practice, he is also an academic researcher. In 2023, he obtained his doctoral degree at the Faculty of “Artes Liberales” at the University of Warsaw based on his dissertation on counteracting the phenomenon of hate speech. As a Fulbright Scholar in the academic year of 2019/2020 he conducted research at The New School (New York).
