What we say about the firm's legal practice in Romania
Legal market
Within Legal market,
Romania has a relatively open legal market and, in recent years, has seen a steady, sustained influx of international firms. This trend continued in 2009. Some firms, such as White & Case, Shollenbarger attempt to open from a cold start. Others, such as Kinstellar, are built on the foundation of predecessor firms, in this instance some former Linklaters Miculiti, Mihai & Asociatii lawyers and office space, to help them hit the ground running. It is Allen & Overy LLP’s arrival that generated far and away the most interest, because it entered on the back of an association with an up-and-coming domestic firm Radu Taracila Padurari Retevoescu SCA in association with Allen & Overy LLP, meaning that it is immediately a force in the market. Of the domestic firms, Nestor Nestor Diculescu Kingston Petersen and Musat & Asociatii still dominate, with Tuca Zbarcea & Asociatii now joining them in the top echelon. Real estate specialists Popovici Nitu & Asociatii are not far behind. Of the established international firms, CMS Cameron McKenna SCA and Badea Clifford Chance are the strongest, although the latter’s current reliance on financing and real estate work may prove problematic going forward. French firm Gide Loyrette Nouel and Austrian firms Schönherr and Wolf Theiss are all active in the market and steadily increasing their presence.
