Former Hogan Lovells Counsel and Head of the Warsaw M&A Practice Tomasz Zak has joined Eversheds Sutherland as a Partner.
Joining with him is his team including Counsel Tomasz Pietrzak, Senior Associate Leonart Szanajca-Kossakowski, and Lawyers Aleksandra Filipiak and Hubert Jurczyk.
According to Eversheds Sutherland, Zak’s arrival “enhances the firm’s corporate transactional capabilities in Warsaw, whilst adding further depth to client offerings in Europe and on cross-border transactions.”
Before the move, Zak spent almost 21 years with Hogan Lovells before the firm announced it was shutting down its Warsaw operations (as reported by CEE Legal Matters on September 20, 2024). He joined Hogan Lovells as an Associate in 2004, becoming a Senior Associate in 2010, and a Counsel in 2010.
“We very warmly welcome a group of excellent lawyers led by Tomasz Zak to our team,” commented Managing Partner Ewa Lachowska-Brol. “This is an experienced, knowledgeable team, which will not only enable us to expand our law firm's transactional and corporate service but will also allow us to better adapt to an ever-changing market.”
“I am delighted to join the Polish office of Eversheds Sutherland,” Zak added. “I believe this is the right place where both I and my team will be able to continue providing the highest quality comprehensive services to our clients.”
