D&B David si Baias SCA's client base includes a number of multinationals which benefit from the firm’s association with PwC and its global network of firms. Cross-border capabilities are therefore a notable strength, and the corporate and M&A practice is active on both seller and buyer sides of high-value deals. Advice to entrepreneurs is a niche area of focus. Anda Rojanschi excels in structuring complex corporate and real estate deals, and she co-leads the practice group with Sorin David, long-term business advisor to major Romanian and foreign companies. Younger partner Cristina Păduraru frequently leads on M&A deals. Adina Oprea is one of a strong group of more junior lawyers.
