Romanian law firm Ionescu Miron — the Romanian firm that was co-founded in the spring of this year by former Bulboaca & Asociatii Partner Corina Ionescu (reported by CEE Legal Matters on March 30, 2015 ) — has announced that Romanian litigator and former colleague Diana Teodorescu has joined the firm as a Partner to head the firm’s Dispute Resolution department, bringing Senior Associate Roxana-Oana Stoica with her from Bulboaca & Asociatii.

After becoming a member of the Bucharest Bar in 2005, Teodorescu began her professional career with four years at the CA Avramescu Arin Alexandru law office, before, in 2009, joining Bulboaca & Asociatii in April of 2009, where she stayed until moving to Ionescu Miron in April of this year. She has also had several in-house secondments over the years, including with the Niro Investment Group from 2005-2009, UniCredit Leasing Romania from November 2010 to February 2011, and Mondelez Romania & EAM Countries from June to August 2011. She specializes in Litigation and Dispute Resolution & Enforcement, Insolvency & Restructuring, Real Estate & Construction, and Corporate law.

“In an ever growing legal market, clients must get all their legal advice in one place,” said Teodorescu. "With an enthusiastic approach and flexibility in accommodating clients’ legal needs, I believe that place to be Ionescu Miron. The fantastic track record of the lawyers here is proof of what success means in the legal business."

Corina Ionescu, the Managing Partner of Ionescu Marin, said: “I have worked with both Diana and Roxana previously. Their professional approach to the law and to client relationships is in line with our strategy and views at Ionescu Miron, so it was a natural move for them to join our team. Dispute Resolution and Litigation are areas that will continue to grow in Romania and we are looking to provide our clients with a wide range of legal services, as well as personalized advisory as per their needs.”

Ana-Maria Miron, co-Managing Partner, also spoke about the addition, saying: “More and more clients want to understand their rights in relation to the Romanian tax authorities and need advice as to how to approach tax litigation. At this point there is a lot of work to be done in both prevention and finding solutions when such an issue arises. With the legislation in this area being complex and with different economic ramifications, we are working very close with our clients, to support their business decisions and their strategies.”
