Polish lawyers Arwid Mednis and Gerard Karp have moved from Wierzbowski Eversheds Sutherland to join PwC Legal in Warsaw.

PwC Legal describes Mednis and Karp as "two of the most recognized experts on personal data protection law, telecommunications law, and intellectual property law on the Polish market." According to Managing Partner Cezary Zelaznicki, “changes in the business environment taking place as a result of the digital transformation are causing such areas as personal data protection or laws relating to new technologies to become even more important to companies. I am glad that Arwid and Gerard, two of the most talented lawyers on the Polish market, have joined PwC. Their expertise and know-how are a valuable contribution to the competences of our law firm”.

Arwid Mednis, who worked at PwC Legal previously, was a Partner at Wierzbowski Eversheds Sutherland from 2012 until this current return to his old firm. According to PwC Legal, "he represented Poland on the Council of Europe Personal Data Protection Committee in Strasbourg, serving as the Chairman of the Committee for two years. He co-authored the Personal Data Protection Act and has been an active participant in Sejm committees, preparing proposals for legislative changes, for instance in the telecommunications law. 

Gerard Karp was at Wierzbowski Eversheds Sutherland for the last eleven years, and spent a year before that at White & Case in Warsaw. During those 12 years, according to PwC Legal, "he has advised the largest national and international entities on key projects regarding personal data protection, e-commerce, IT implementations or for example cloud solutions."
