Complex cross-border mandates are prominent in the group's workload, and the team is routinely instructed in M&A, upstream and downstream oil and gas projects, renewable energy matters, natural gas projects and greenfield project work. Ramona Volciuc-Ionescu stands out for her 'technical excellence', and co-heads the practice with Sabin Volciuc-Ionescu, who is sought after for his expertise in advising on financing matters.
