The sizeable team has four lawyers sharing leadership responsibilities: Adriana Ioana Gaspar, who has wide-ranging experience in both cross-border and domestic transactions and investments; Adina Chilim-Dumitriu, a strong choice for matters involving complex technicalities, including public procurement or TMT-related work; Gabriela Cacerea, who has a notable track record in private sector matters and privatisations; and Ruxandra Bologa, whose broad corporate practice includes expertise in energy sector matters. Other key figures include Corina Dumitru, Razvan Vlad and Mirela Preda.
