‘Experienced lawyers both on consultancy and litigation’ distinguish the DLA Piper Dinu SCA employment law department, which takes advantage of the firm’s global network, while maintaining a notable domestic presence. Practice head Monica Georgiadis is well versed in international matters and is a pioneer in the jurisdiction when it comes to the establishment of a standalone practice at an international firm in Romania. Andra Trantea has a broad practice across the spectrum of advisory and contentious employment matters, but also stands out with niche expertise in IP and data privacy in an employment context. Clients commend Elena Preotescu, who has a focus on such busy sectors as aviation, life sciences, tech, manufacturing and energy. Paula Anghel is valuable support on investigations, employment termination, collective agreements and various employer/ employee rights, while Diana Năcuță is a further example of the team’s strength in depth.

‘I usually collaborate with Elena Preotescu, I like the fact that she always gives me detailed answers, looking for all possible aspects of a situation and offering examples from practice. But all of the team members I have interacted with have a very professional approach. I also like the fact that DLA Bucharest organises events for their clients and are focused on creating a whole customer experience, not only providing services.’
