NNDKP respects, promotes and bases its success on value, including personal value and value resulted from the mix and interaction of perspectives. Thus, we have tended to and accommodated variety in every respect and at all levels, in the most natural manner.

Reflective of our belief in value, our overall teams have organically developed to comprise a diversity of groups, regardless of gender, ethnicity, religion and other distinguishing trait. That is how we have built a diverse and inclusive working environment, with equal chances for all.

NNDKP’s programmes, activities and initiatives are designed to accommodate equality and diversity and are carefully monitored and adjusted so as to pave the way for both personal and firm’s development and success, without prejudice. NNDKP’s continued policy has been to attract and retain top talent irrespective of differences. All members of our teams have benefitted from the same access to projects, training and rewards and have been encouraged to assume responsibilities and to achieve leading roles in the legal environment. We recognize individual contributions and reward professionals fairly, based on performance, accomplishments and contribution to the firm’s development.

A defining aspect of NNDKP's corporate culture is encouraging female lawyers to achieve leading roles in the legal profession. We are a strong supporter of women and have always empowered them to reach their full potential, and this is reflected in our firm’s leadership –60% of our partners are women. At firm level, +60% of our professionals are women.

NNDKP was recognized as “Best Firm in Romania” for gender diversity three times at Euromoney's “European Women in Business Law” Gala. The firm was also invited as expert at the “Equality Pays Off” business forum, organized as part of the European Commission’s initiative for gender diversity.

We believe that an inclusive environment creates a safe workplace, where professionals can grow. This also contributes to the quality of the services we provide to our clients, and also drives innovation and development.

A promoter of business law in Romania with over 30 years of experience on the local market, NNDKP has proven that solid knowledge, professional skills, ethics and dedication are gender and age-neutral and that success can only be based on value.
