Berwin Leighton Paisner (BLP) has closed two deals for upmarket leisure joint ventures (JVs) in Poland for leading client Starwood Hotels & Resorts – one of the world’s top hotel companies.

BLP became Starwood’s primary UK hotels adviser following the two-year secondment of senior associate Daniel Braham, then with the legacy London firm Paisner & Co, which merged in 2001 with Berwin Leighton.
