Leading international technology, media and telecommunications law firm Olswang, continues its growth strategy by adding new partner Martin Hamer to its German team. Martin Hamer will be joining the firm's public infrastructure group and has a long standing expertise in advising international and national players in the energy and refinery sectors.
