Transactional & Strategic Counsel

Trust Factor
My practice is intentionally focused and selective. I work with a limited number of clients at any given time, allowing me to remain closely involved in each mandate and to provide tailored, high-quality legal support.
I believe effective legal advisory is built on these core principles:
Clarity
Clear, decision-oriented advice. Legal advice translates into clear options and consequences, enabling informed business decisions.
Structure
Well-designed legal frameworks reduce friction, prevent disputes and support scalable growth.
Accountability
Every mandate I take on is handled at senior level, with direct involvement from start to finish.
Trust
I treasure and build long term partnerships, based on full trust and confidentiality.
Extended Professional Network
I have developed and work closely with a selected network of top tier senior professionals — including notaries, tax advisors, valuation experts, technical consultants and financial advisors — validated through long-term collaboration on complex projects in Romania and internationally.
Where required, this network is engaged on a project-specific basis, while coordination, strategic oversight and legal responsibility remain fully centralized.
* Upon request, references can be provided, subject to confidentiality constraints.
Team
The practice operates with a senior-led, client-centric approach. Every mandate receives direct attention and strategic oversight from experienced professionals.
For complex or multidisciplinary matters, the extended professional network provides seamless access to specialized expertise while maintaining unified coordination and accountability.
