Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

• Among the individuals I have worked with at Dentons, Claudiu Munteanu Jipescu stands out for his strong client focus and pragmatic approach. He consistently delivers high-quality work in a timely and efficient manner while maintaining very good cost awareness—an aspect that clearly differentiates him from many competitors. I value his reliability, clarity of communication, and ability to provide practical, well-structured solutions that align with both legal requirements and business priorities.
• Dentons’ practice distinguishes itself through the strength of the client relationship it builds and maintains. The team is highly available, pragmatic, and focused on delivering solutions that work in practice, not just in theory. Potential clients should know that Dentons combines solid technical expertise with a hands-on, business-oriented approach, which makes collaboration efficient and predictable. Compared to other firms, their responsiveness and willingness to engage deeply with the client’s objectives are notable strengths. They also make good use of modern collaboration tools and maintain transparent communication, which supports smooth project management and clear expectations throughout the engagement.
• ‘Dentons' energy team has a great expertise, globally acknowledged and appreciated, and is well anchored in the practicalities of a project. They have a business oriented approach and are capable to advise the client constructively. They are impressive from this perspective.’
• ‘Angelica Pintilie is an experienced lawyer, very capable to lead efficiently complex projects. Bogdan Papandopol has a great knowledge of its area of expertise and knows very well how to advise his clients towards achieving the success of their projects.’
• ‘Dentons advised us on the EPCM contract for the advancement of the Cernavoda Nuclear Power Plant Units, one of the most complex PPP-style infrastructure projects in Romania. The team stands out through its ability to combine public procurement and PPP expertise with construction and regulatory knowledge, which proved essential for such a strategic project. We valued their coordination across disciplines, responsiveness and pragmatic solutions. Dentons managed to turn legal analysis into workable structures while ensuring compliance with both Romanian and EU requirements.’
• ‘Claudiu Munteanu-Jipescu was the project supervisor making a real difference due to his in-depth understanding of the Romanian energy sector and its regulatory environment, especially in nuclear projects (Claudiu assisted also in the first phase of the Cernavoda NPP Units 3 & 4 discussions when he assisted GDF at that time). What we valued most was his ability to bring together all the experts working in the Dentons team assisting on the Project (experts from several jurisdictions), as well as to ensure a smooth interface with EnergoNuclear team, grasp the specifics of our concerns, and turn them into practical legal and commercial solutions. He was consistently present in key moments, providing clear guidance and giving us the confidence to move forward. Claudiu’s mix of technical knowledge, strategic thinking and straightforward communication set him apart from other lawyers I have worked with.’
