Former Solivan Partner Christian Schnell has joined Dentons as a Partner in the firm's Energy and Natural Resources practice. Based in Warsaw, Schnell will also practice in the firm's Munich office. He is joined by Counsel Piotr Dziwniel, Senior Associate Olga Wasilewska, and Associate Ewa Golabek. 

According to Dentons, "Schnell has more than 20 years of experience in advising on renewable energy regulation, projects, and investments in international markets in Central and South-Eastern Europe."

Prior to joining Dentons, Schnell was a Partner with Solivan for seven years. Earlier, he spent two years with DeBenedetti Majewski Szczesniak, between 2012 and 2014, another two with Taylor Wessing, between 2009 and 2011, and five years with BSJP and Cerha Hempel, between 2002 and 2008.
