Its client base also includes a wealth of private equity players. Leadership of the team is jointly coordinated between one of the country’s most experienced M&A lawyers Florian Nițu; ’outstanding professional’ Bogdan Stoica; and Silviu Stoica, who is particularly active in the investment funds space.
