Peggy Șuică-Neagu, a reputable litigator and former partner with the local office of a prestigious law firm, will be rejoining NNDKP, after her previous collaboration with our firm between 1998-2005. In her 16 year career with some of the most respected law firms and in the largest oil company in Romania, Peggy acquired specialized expertise in the field of civil litigation and in domestic and international arbitrations.
The new senior lawyers - Roxana Abrașu (Employment), Monia Hantig (Banking and Finance), Anca Mihăilescu and Mădălina Pancă (Corporate and Energy / Natural Resources) – have successfully assisted local and international companies in their specific areas of expertise.
Silviu Bădescu and Lucian Barbu have been promoted to the position of tax directors and Simona Enescu to that of tax assistant manager. The three tax consultants have contributed significantly to the consolidation of this practice, both in terms of client portfolio and turnover.
"The consolidation of our dispute resolution department with the addition of our former colleague brings first of all authentic added value for our legal activity, since she is not only a brilliant litigator but also an expert on economic matters. Moreover, against an unpredictable economic background subject to legislative changes, shaping a new “line” of future leaders from amongst gifted lawyers and consultants, will ensure that our teams are more flexible and better adapted to the specifics of key industries, such as: banking and finance, insurance and private pensions, energy, real estate, FMCG, pharmaceuticals, IT & Telecom", declared Ion Nestor, one of NNDKP’s Co-Managing Partners.
Pursuant to these changes, NNDKP team consists now of 21 partners (19 lawyers and two tax advisors) and 100 lawyers, plus 18 tax experts and 70 employees in the administrative departments.
