In only two years since its establishment, the Romanian law firm MPR Partners has built a solid track record, its founding partners having succeeded to develop both a vast portfolio of top local and international clients and a strong team of professionals, as well as to gather an impressive list of awards and distinctions.

The spectacular results achieved were not left unnoticed internationally, the firm’s various departments having obtained in an impressively short time span a considerable amount of awards, as well as the recognition of international directories.

One of MPR Partners’ most awarded departments is Corporate/M&A, which is a practice area with tradition for the firm’s founding partners Gelu Maravela, Alina Popescu and Marius Pătrășcanu (attorneys with a vast experience in top Romanian and international law firms).

Our most recent distinction in the field comes from the renowned international directory IFLR 1000, which designated on Friday the firm’s Corporate/M&A practice as “notable”, thus including MPR Partners on the select list of the leading Romanian law firms. International Financial Law Review (IFLR) releases each year rankings of law firms from numerous jurisdictions, mainly considering corporate and financial services. The rankings are based on a rigorous research process that includes firm analysis and interviews conducted with their clients and competitors.

The IFLR1000 designation comes after the ranking obtained earlier this year in the reputed international directory Legal 500 for the same practice area, as well as after the “M&A Law Firm of the Year, Romania” awarded last year to MPR Partners by London based business publications Acquisition International, Finance Monthly and ACQ5.

Our Corporate/M&A awards join a considerable number of other distinctions obtained in just two years from the firm’s establishment.

For instance, the well-known British publication The Lawyer shortlisted MPR Partners just this spring for the “Law Firm of the Year: Romania” distinction, which was awarded during The Lawyer European Awards 2015, one of the most important events in the sector.

In addition, MPR Partners’ Projects department was included this year in the first tiers of the reputed European directory of Chamber & Partners. Furthermore, the international business platform CorporateLiveWire awarded the firm also this year for Innovation & Excellency as well as for “Insolvency firm of the year”, while the renowned American guide Best Lawyers International recommends the firm’s founding partners in no less than seven practice areas, Gelu Maravela being also designated 2014-2015 Bucharest Energy Law “Lawyer of the Year”.

“When we started off as MPR Partners, we had quite a few considerable assets and advantages: know-how acquired in many years of practice in top tier national and international firms and a team of professionals exquisitely prepared by my side. It is not only to them but to our clients and pears as well that we extend our gratitude, on this occasion. Our achievements to date are just the beginning – we are going to continue in the same style, rhythm and on the same path with at least the same amount of determination, thus growing our expertise and name in a constant manner.” Gelu Maravela, Managing Partner of MPR Partners.

Our partners share their opinion and debate market trends in various sectors, as the firm’s team and experience in several practice areas are detailed in this year’s issue of the leading Romanian guide to the legal market, published by Govnet. Article (excerpt – English) here.
