We are excited to announce a new step in our evolution!
Recently, our firm has undergone an extensive rebranding process, the result of which we are proud of and present with joy: Suciu Popa becomes Suciu Partners, in order to highlight the values that defined us from the very beginning and which have been distilled together over the 8 years of our firm’s existence: true partnership and unwavering dedication, contributed by each of us, for the benefit of the legal services market and our clients, whom we serve moment by moment, hour by hour, 365 days a year.
On this occasion, founding partners Cleopatra Leahu and Dan Ciobanu are taking on the role of Deputy Managing Partners, alongside Miruna Suciu, Managing Partner, to significantly contribute to further supporting the management team and the firm’s development plans for the coming years.
Mihai Cărăgui, Partner of the firm and one of the longest-serving members of our team, will take over the leadership of the integrated Corporate and Advisory departments, which encompasses all non-litigation practice areas.
At the same time, Radu Chiran, Partner in the Litigation & Arbitration practices and a professional with a significant experience in the firm, will assume the coordination of these departments, which currently include over 12 professionals.
The firm’s partnership is expanding with the promotion of our colleague Noemi Șiman to Partner, thus completing the ranks of highly talented and experienced lawyers leading the practices in Energy and Natural Resources, Real Estate, and Competition/Foreign Direct Investments (FDI).
Additionally, the Labor Law and Litigation teams are expanding with the addition of Daliana Popa and Mihai Eduard Gîngu, two experienced, enthusiastic, and creative lawyers who will actively support our teams in these practice areas.
Our colleague Radu Petroi is taking on the role of Counsel within the firm, continuing his coordination of the Competition/Antitrust area, as well as his significant involvement over the past years to the Litigation & Arbitration and Energy & Natural Resources areas, where his contribution has been pivotal to the firm’s success.
Furthermore, our colleague Roxana Ioncu is taking on the role of Counsel, contributing further to the development of the Banking & Finance/Capital Markets and Corporate & Commercial areas of the firm, as well as to the overall business development strategy, including identification and integration of resources and dedicated technology to support the firm’s digitalization plans.
In the Dispute Resolution and White Collar practices, Paul Mănăila is promoted to Managing Associate, after 5 years of sustained activity in the firm with notable results in civil, commercial, and criminal litigation and proceedings.
With an extensive activity in Infrastructure, PPP, and Public Procurement, Environment, and Energy & Natural Resources, Gianina Istrate is stepping up to become Managing Associate, coordinating complex mandates in industries such as Oil & Gas, Automotive, Mining, and Renewable Energy.
We are also expanding our Administrative and Fiscal Litigation team by bringing on board Andrei Ivan, a lawyer with experience in litigation, corporate law and public law.
Last but not least, we wish success to our colleague Luminița Popa, who has been with us since the firm's inception and who has decided to dedicate herself primarily to developing her career as an arbitrator.
We are grateful for the trust placed in our team and the services we provide. This new phase underscores our ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality legal services and represents a natural step in our growth strategy, focused on attracting and integrating some of the best professionals in the market, further developing our Business Law practices, and consolidating a brand that stood the test of time and is a landmark in the Romanian legal market.
