Being a sought-after lawyer in today’s competitive market requires far more than just sound judgment. While the foundational qualities—such as perception, intuition, analytical skills, the ability to execute effectively, active listening, and, above all, trust—remain indispensable, the role has evolved significantly. Embracing innovation and technology, staying adaptable in a dynamic market, and understanding the broader business landscape have become equally vital.
The digital transformation has revolutionized the role of the trusted advisor, with advancements in technology driving the modernization of law firms. By leveraging cutting-edge tools, firms can enhance profitability, boost productivity, streamline workflows, and ultimately provide clients with a superior level of service. However, the legal profession still lags behind in fully embracing these advancements. To thrive, a lawyer must remain agile, continuously educate themselves, and adapt to the ever-changing technological landscape.
I am committed to making a meaningful difference for my clients, driven by innovation and technology.
I graduated from Bucharest School of Law
I joined Mușat & Asociații
Over the years, I’ve navigated diverse areas of legal practice, from corporate and M&A to energy, insurance, labor law, litigation, international arbitration, and privatization. With over 25 years of experience, I’ve honed a deep understanding of how the law is practiced, how lawyers are trained, and how business risks are effectively managed. My ultimate goal has always been to be the trusted lawyer clients turn to for their most complex legal challenges, high-stakes business transactions, and critical disputes.
I’ve built a strong reputation, particularly in insurance, where I’ve excelled as both a claims negotiator and an M&A negotiator. My passion for psychology, along with my certifications as a coach and NLP Master, has fueled my interest in negotiation, a field that continues to be my main focus. My background as a mediator further enhances my ability to uncover creative solutions that lead to win-win outcomes.
Today, my practice is centered on Insurance, Contracts & Agreements, Mergers & Acquisitions, Corporate, and Professional Liability. I’m a firm believer that quality defines exceptional legal service, which is why I advocate for specialization as the key to delivering unparalleled expertise.
I provide proactive, responsive, and cost-effective claim management, often closing claims before maturing into litigations. I spend time getting to know you and your claim handling philosophy so that I deal with your clients in the way you would. The general liability claims arise from bodily injury, property damage, and advertising injury and include a diverse array of sub-types. After 16 continuous years acting as an insurance lawyer, I am well versed not only in the insurance coverage issues, but also in the subject matter of the underlying disputes.
As countries race to reduce emissions, the shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy has never been more important or economically viable. Organisations are rethinking supply chains, trying to avoid stranded assets, anticipate regulatory change, and make investments in nature and the built environment that will deliver economic, social and environmental benefits in this rapidly changing business context. Renewable energy generation continues to diversify and with more than 15 years of experience in the field, I am here to help.
Successful businesses require strong contracts and agreements. Your company’s contracts are like the bones in a skeleton. Everything your company does relies on the support and protection of the terms in its contract. Weak or non-existent contracts can undermine a company, creating risk or liability. A well-written commercial agreement not only protects a company from risk and liability but also allows the court to better assess the intent of the parties in the event of a dispute. I am an expert in drafting and negotiating contracts.
Entering an M&A deal, a client needs a comprehensive assessment of the legal risks related to the corporate status, assets, contracts, securities, intellectual property, real estate, data, etc. I have an extensive legal expertise at the negotiating table and in drafting the Due Diligence and the transactional or restructuring documents to make sure they’re aligned with financial, tax and business considerations and that the client’s interests are protected. I have mu clients’ interests covered and I am here to help maximise the advantages while mitigating risks.
I actively participate through online courses in the professional development of lawyers and mediators in Romania. I designed, specially for lawyers and jurists within their first years of practice, an online course – Maestrul Avocat – covering a variety of areas including drafting contracts, legal opinions, pleadings and due diligence. Lots of document templates come with. My fellow certified mediators were not neglected either, for I adapted the coaching and NLP’s concepts and instruments to mediation in the online course called Mediere prin Coaching și NLP.
