SIMION & BACIU is pleased to announce the expansion of the firm’s Corporate, Mergers & Acquisitions practice group with the addition of Corina Roman as a Managing Associate. Corina joins from KPMG Legal. Her professional experience also includes previous roles with Romanian law firms NNDKP and PNSA, for more than 12 years.
Corina has been advising domestic and international corporate clients and entrepreneurs on structuring, negotiating, and implementing merger and acquisition transactions and corporate restructuring projects. In addition, she is well-versed in providing legal assistance on the full range of corporate, commercial and regulatory matters related to the day-to-day operations of businesses.
Examples reflecting her credentials include assisting large and medium size corporations in relation to multi-million euro share or asset deals, spin-off or group reorganization projects, in various industries, including automotive, manufacturing, retail, gambling, IT, FMCG and pharma. Also, she has been assisting start-ups in attracting financing from private investors, including by negotiating and securing rights for the founders and implementing complex corporate governance mechanisms meant to accommodate both investor and founder rights, while preserving a smooth management of the start-ups themselves.
Complementing her activity, Corina acted along the year as a member in technical work groups for the implementation of amendments to the legislative framework, particularly in the field of corporate law.
In her role at SIMION & BACIU, Corina will focus on cementing the Corporate, M&A practice of the firm, with responsibilities in expanding the team’s range of capabilities, and supporting our cross-selling initiatives aimed at ensuring a 360-degree offering to our portfolio of clients.
“It gives us great pleasure to welcome Corina to our team and we are confident that her contribution will be a catalyst for the next phase in the maturing process of our Corporate, M&A practice group. Her expertise, skills and enthusiasm will enhance our ability to help our client take wise, legally viable commercial decisions, and seek stability for subsequent phases of evolution of their businesses. This is reflective of our dedication to act as a partner, and not only an advisor, to those who entrust us with their legal work”, mentioned Cosmina Maria Simion, Managing Partner.
“Thanks to her determination and professional background, we believe that Corina is set to join the hall of legal talents of her generation. She is a strong addition to our growing team, which has increased 4-fold to date. Above all, clients continue to choose us as their legal partners for our ability to bring the human touch to our work and to demonstrate time and again that we not only understand the law, but also the fundamentals of doing business. We are confident that Corina will have a genuine impact on the continuous rolling out of our approach.” added Ana-Maria Baciu, Managing Partner.
Since its founding in 2019, the firm’s propensity towards work in industries including retail, gambling, technology, media and entertainment, FMCG or manufacturing has also been generating a constant flow of both high profile and plain-vanilla mandates in the corporate, M&A area, ensuring a strong bridge pillar for its next stage of growth.
