Partner, coordinating the Corporate M&A, TMT and Restructuring & Insolvency practices in Bucharest.
Wolf Theiss' corporate and M&A offering in Romania includes assisting prominent international entities, private equity clients and software developers with a range of transactional matters. The team has been kept busy acting for private equity funds, and advising multinational clients on group restructurings. Practice head Ileana Glodeanu is 'very inspiring', and is highly regarded for her expertise in assisting TMT, energy and pharmaceutical companies with transactional matters. Managing partner of the Bucharest office Bryan Jardine is a key name in the team. Counsels Mihai Coadă and George Ghitu and senior associate Cornelia Postelnicu, who provides ‘excellent advice on issues associated with M&A matters', are also recommended. The group was bolstered by the arrival of Andreea Cărare in February 2023.
