About Stephan
Stephan Grynwajc built a practice around borders. He moves between civil law and common law systems with ease. That international thread runs through his education and the way he works.
He studied in Paris and later in London and New York. He earned a J.D. from the University of Paris School of Law and followed it with an LL.M. in English and North American business law. He also completed an LL.M. in corporate law at New York University School of Law and has an MBA from ESCP Europe. Those credentials reflect formal training in both legal and commercial disciplines.
Grynwajc is admitted in multiple jurisdictions. He is a lawyer of the State Bar of New York, a solicitor of the Law Society of England and Wales, an avocat in the French Bar and an avocat of the Quebec Bar. That combination means he is qualified to advise under New York, English and Welsh, French and Quebec law, and to work on matters that touch Canada and Europe.
He set up his own practice in 2011, operating as the Law office of S. Grynwajc, PLLC. Since founding the firm he has handled transactions and disputes that require fluency in different legal traditions. His workload has included drafting cross-border commercial agreements, advising on regulatory questions and assisting clients during transactional negotiations. He regularly confronts issues that arise where corporate law intersects with international business.
Clients have turned to him for work that involves corporate governance, commercial contracts and cross-border restructuring. He also advises on compliance matters that have multijurisdictional elements. His practice involves translating legal concepts across systems so that business decisions can proceed on a firm legal footing.
Grynwajc combines classroom study in corporate law and business administration with practical experience in multinational matters. He has structured his practice to serve businesses, investors and individuals who need counsel across New York, English and Welsh, French and Quebec legal frameworks. He splits his time among transactional work, written advice and negotiations.
Today he continues to practice through his own office. He concentrates on cross-border corporate and commercial matters.
