Wardynski & Partners added former vice-president of the Agora Foundation Marek Szydlowski to its IP counsel. He will focus on the media sector, including copyright and online cases. Szydlowski joins partners Wlodzimierz Szoszuk and Anna Pompe, who represented some major international brands over the past year. Tim Behean, head of IP for adidas, says: "The firm always aims to get the best outcome for clients in the fastest time. In a country that is difficult to achieve good results, Wardynski does a good job." A specialist in litigation, Szoszuk won praise from the Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer Dutch litigator Rutgar Kleemans. "Poland hardly has any case law," says Kleemans. "But Szoszuk is a charming, classic, old-fashioned advocate. His quality is always very good."
