Being an in-demand lawyer in todays’s competitive market means so much more than simply showing good judgement. The cornerstones of the role remain, of course. There are universal traits: perception, intuition, analysis, the ability to get things done, being a good listener and, top of the list, trust. However, embracing innovation and technology, adapting to a changing market and understanding the wider business are all increasingly important. Digital transformation has played a significant part in the evolution of the trusted adviser, and new technology is underpinning the modernisation of law firms. With higher profit margins, increased productivity, and optimisation of workflows, adopting cutting-edge technology means that firms can offer a better overall service to the client. That said, the legal profession is still somewhat behind the curve in the adoption of new technology. To become successful, a lawyer has to remain agile and continue to educate in changing technology.
I am here to make a difference for my clients including by innovation and technology.
I graduated from Bucharest School of Law
I joined Mușat & Asociații
Over the years, I performed in different areas of practice, from corporate and M&A to energy, insurance, labor law, litigation, international arbitration, privatization. Throughout more than 22 years of practice, I refined my knowledge on how the law is practiced, how lawyers are trained, and how business risk is managed. All along, my goal was to be the lawyer of choice for clients concerning their most challenging legal issues, most significant business transactions, and most critical disputes. I especially built a reputation in insurance, as a claim negotiator as well as an M&A negotiator. Since I am attracted to psychology, being a coach, and an NLP Master, I love being involved in all sorts of negotiations and that remained my primary interest. My background as a mediator also helps a lot in finding the rights solution for a win-win outcome. Today, my area of practice is focus on Insurance, Contracts & Agreements, Mergers & Acquisitions, Corporate and Professional Liability. Quality is the hallmark of my practice and this is why I believe and preach that specialisation is the answer.
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.
