PricewaterhouseCoopers has appointed Werner Suhl to head its German mergers and acquisitions team, replacing Anita Davisson, who quit for ABN Amro last year.

Suhl joins PwC next week from Deutsche Bank, where he was a managing director. The move from a bank to an accounting firm will not be a complete change for Suhl, as he worked with Price Waterhouse earlier in his career and knows some of the people currently working there.
