CMS‘ criminal defence practice in Bucharest is led by May 2023 partner appointment Mihai Jiganie-Serban, who has had a rapid rise to become one of the standout practitioners in the field in Romania. He leads a team whose ‘inter-disciplinary cooperation with other departments enhances its capability‘, working closely with the CMS network in the region to support a prestigious client base of the range of cases under the white-collar crime umbrella. Coordinator of the wider dispute resolution practice, Horia Draghici is a key figure in criminal litigation too, and the practice was boosted by the return of Cosmin Cretu in June 2023, rejoining from Dentons.
