Poland rule change eases access for foreign firms

London-Based Edmonds Bowen & Company has recruited international specialist Hans Marcus from the London office of Pritchard Englefield.

The English-qualified solicitor specialises in compensation law in East Germany and handles general international work.

He had been with Pritchard Englefield for 26 years.

"I am happier in a small firm," said Marcus.

"You can give a much more personal service and it's less departmentalised."

Marcus is also a fellow of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators and specialises in international arbitration with a focus on commercial disputes.

Edmonds Bowen handles company commercial work, specialising in media, entertainment, property and litigation.
