Pitch subject: Israelis of Polish descent seeking assistance in obtaining Polish citizenship confirmation
Media outlet profile: Israeli – Domestic
Geographic location: Yes
Where? Israel
What's the pitch?
In recent months, hundreds of Israelis of Polish descent have been seeking assistance in obtaining Polish citizenship confirmation for purposes ranging from education to business to nostalgia. Cherski & Co. was one of the first Israeli law firms to assist in the process. The firm made headlines earlier this year when it was discovered that many clients were left in the dark after Ilan Cherski’s death as to what would become of their original documents and pending applications, not to mention the fees they had already paid. Identifying the problem, Eranium – a subsidiary of the international powerhouse law firm Salans – has stepped in, pledging to represent the clients and only charge ‘success fees’ for approved applications. No additional fees will be taken until Eranium achieves positive results, an important stipulation as the intricacies of Polish law may complicate the approval of many files.
Type of resource needed:
To make this a great pitch I need stats about the demand for Polish citizenship over the last several years and any significant or interesting changes in the laws related to this process.
