Warsaw-based Counsel Marcin Schulz has been promoted to Partner at Linklaters.
Schulz, in Warsaw, is the only CEE-based lawyer of the 27 included in Linklaters' global partnership round, spread across 11 of the firm's offices, all of which become effective on May 1, 2018. He specializes in Corporate/M&A and Banking/Finance, and according to Linklaters, "he advises international financial institutions, private equity funds and the largest Polish corporates on their transactions in Poland and across the wider CEE region."
“Marcin combines his corporate experience with a deep command of Polish law and commercially sound advice," said Artur Kulawski, Managing Partner of Linklaters’ Warsaw office. "He leads teams of lawyers holding both Polish and English qualifications on major cross-border transactions for the largest investors in our region. Clients value his judgment, ability to collaborate with others as well as his knowledge of corporate regulations. Marcin is likewise a great colleague and a hard working lawyer, with an established and continuously growing reputation across the market. I am absolutely confident that his promotion to the partnership will lead to dynamic growth within both our corporate team and across the wider Warsaw practice."
Schulz will be the Warsaw office’s eight partner and the third in the corporate practice. Recently, he led the Linklaters team advising Chariot Top Group on its sale of 12 shopping center properties to Echo Polska Properties (as reported by CEE Legal Matters on December 27, 2017), worked on the team advising Phoebe IVS on its acquisition of part of MFinanse from mBank S.A.
