After FIT Legal, founded by Edyta and her business partner Neal Lodhia, is a boutique legal consultancy providing customized derivatives documentation and business consulting solutions globally. Edyta's extensive experience in strategic launches, regulatory projects, and business transformations prepared her for this entrepreneurial venture. FIT Legal's success prompted the launch of "Derivatives Lab" (DLAB), a pioneering online educational platform offering valuable knowledge about the legal aspects of the banking and finance industry. DLAB provides real-world strategies and insights to excel in the derivatives sector and the ISDA Lab course was successfully launched in October 2023, focusing on ISDA Master Agreement negotiations. Edyta acknowledges the multiple roles she plays daily, both in her professional and personal life. She upholds the same values and principles in all areas. Caring and empathetic, she strives for progress rather than perfection. Treating others as she would like to be treated is an essential aspect of her character. She balances pragmatism and business acumen with passion and creativity. Constantly seeking personal development, Edyta is a professional member of Mindvalley and enrolled in a Negotiation Mastery course at Harvard Business School Online, aiming to enhance her negotiation skills for the benefit of her clients. Both FIT Legal and Derivatives Lab serve as platforms for her growth as a leader and legal counsel. establishing her career in commercial litigation, Edyta discovered a specialized niche in trading agreements and derivative negotiations.

With the aim of positively disrupting the collaboration between sell-side and buy-side participants, FIT Legal assists market players in navigating the complexities of trading relationships and derivatives documentation. They achieve this by providing structured and tailored solutions to negotiations, resulting in quicker time-to-market for their clients. Continuous Growth as a Legal Consultant Role as the Founder Edyta's journey of growth began during her childhood in Poland when she witnessed the fall of communism, inspiring her to see the world as full of possibilities and potential. As a legal consultant, she continues to challenge herself and her team to stay at the top of their game in the derivatives market, especially in their niche of trading agreements. They actively track regulatory and legal developments in the asset management sector and collaborate with industry experts to deepen their knowledge and expertise.

As the founder of FIT Legal, Edyta's vision was born from her extensive experience in the legal, banking, and finance industry, coupled with her passion for providing tailored derivatives documentation and business consulting solutions globally. Being the founder comes with a great sense of responsibility, and Edyta takes pride in the consultancy's growth into a globally recognized firm. Breaking Barriers and Pursuing International Career Edyta Kniżewska's early life in Poland was shaped by hardworking and inspiring women in her family. Unwilling to conform to societal gender norms, she aimed for independence and a successful international career. After winning an international scholarship, she studied law in the UK and gained experience in Commercial Litigation. However, it was her discovery of a niche in trading agreements and derivatives that inspired her to focus on banking and finance, leading to a significant career growth.

one that encourages autonomy and independence among our team of experienced consultants. This culture is central to our commitment to delivering high-quality, cutting-edge business and legal advice in a cost-efficient and remote-friendly manner,” says Edyta. Addressing Gender Imbalance and Bias Overcoming Self-Limitations Edyta highlights that while women lawyers constitute approximately 51% of the profession, they hold less than 32% of senior roles, indicating a gender imbalance in the legal sector. However, she sees this as an exciting time for women, especially in the asset management niche, where gender diversity is increasingly recognized as vital for success. Despite progress, the lack of women in top legal positions, particularly in corporate, banking, and finance sectors, remains a concern. Social bias, both conscious and unconscious, plays a significant role in hindering women's advancement. Myths and stereotypes persist, affecting women's opportunities and aspirations. Edyta acknowledges that biases cannot be entirely eradicated but emphasizes the importance of collective efforts to counteract them and promote equality. While facing various challenges in her career, Edyta identifies her own limitations and discomforts as the most significant barrier to overcome. Edyta says: “I believe that life starts at the edge of your comfort zone. Conquering my self-limiting beliefs and fears is a continuous learning process for me.” Edyta seeks growth through the guidance of an exceptional business coach and strives to improve her mindset daily. By doing so, she ensures that she can provide her clients, students, business partners, and family with the best advice and approach. The Joy of Being an Entrepreneur As an entrepreneur, Edyta enjoys the freedom of structuring her daily routine. She emphasizes discipline, self-awareness, and multitasking skills but acknowledges the occasional distractions. To maintain a varied and challenging day, she includes diverse tasks for different clients and projects. Reflecting on the happiest part of her daily routine, Edyta said: “It has to be spending time with my son in the morning when we share joyful moments making pancakes, laughing, and playing together. This is such a precious time, and it allows me to start the day with a positive mind set, setting the tone for the rest of the day. I prioritizes physical well-being by going to the gym and taking morning walks for mental clarity.” Maintaining a healthy work-life balance is made easier because FIT Legal is a family-run business. Edyta works closely with her husband, sharing well-defined roles and responsibilities. They collaborate on projects, driving the company's strategy together. This dynamic allows them to smoothly transition from business to personal life each day, fostering trust, respect, and care among their team and clients. Fortunestime.com | 27
