Professor Soltysinski is a renowned specialist in civil law, intellectual property rights, commercial law and foreign investment law. For a number of years prior to the 1989 system transition, Professor Soltysinski successfully reconciled his academic activity with counselling services rendered to Polish and foreign entities with respect to, inter alia, East-West trade, technology transfer, and investment.

Professor Soltysinski is an active participant in international arbitration. His name appears on the official list of the Arbitration Court at the Polish Chamber of Commerce, the International Arbitration Court at the Austrian Chamber of Commerce, and the American Arbitration Association. He served as a member of arbitral panels and legal counsel in over a hundred arbitration cases both in Poland and abroad.

In the years 1991 and 1992, he represented the Polish Government during negotiations leading to Poland's accession to the European Community.

He is a former Dean of the Law School of Poznan University and Visiting Professor at the University of Pennsylvania Law School (1975-1991) and the College of Europe in Bruges (1991-1995). From June 1990 to May 1991, Professor Soltysinski served as counsel to the Philadelphia law firm of Drinker Biddle & Reath.

As a long-term member of Poland's Legislative Council, Professor Soltysinski advised the Polish Government on how to revise Poland's laws to stimulate foreign trade and investment. In 1997, he was appointed a member of the Polish Codification Commission and the Chairman of its Subcommittee, which developed the Commercial Companies Code, adopted by Parliament in 2000.

He is the author of more than a dozen books and over 250 publications on commercial law, intellectual property, antitrust law, and civil law and arbitration.
