CMS

CMS remains a prime destination for clients requiring corporate and commercial law advice at the highest level in Romania and is a regular fixture in the foremost M&A transactions in the jurisdiction. As part of the wider firm’s global network, the team is accomplished in multi-faceted cross-border work but retains a strong domestic focus and presence; its depth of English law capabilities is another differentiator. Particular areas of strength have recently included work in the energy, retail, and agribusiness sectors. Managing partner Horea Popescu is the team’s figurehead and also leads the firm’s CEE group in corporate law. Rodica Manea is a further experienced contact to note, with a strong track record in M&A, joint ventures, and private equity transactions. Mircea Moraru is a go-to for the entire spectrum of corporate concentrations, and ‘knowledgeable dealmaker’ Claudia Nagy is a further example of the team’s bench strength. Raluca Ionescu and Elena Andrei are additional key contacts.
