To satisfy client demand, we aim to further expand key practices and sectors such as tax, dispute resolution, TMT, M&A and others over the next 1-2 years,” said Perry Zizzi, Managing Partner and Head of the M&A practice at Dentons Romania.

The recruitment campaign is part of the firm’s “Dentons Romania 2.0” strategy, kick-started under Perry Zizzi’s leadership, which focuses on ‘building a strong team and attracting top talent from the market to effectively serve clients’ needs in a rapidly evolving economic climate’

In 2020, Dentons Bucharest grew to have the largest banking practice in the country: 14 attorneys with local, regional and global experience and the only firm with capabilities on the ground in Romanian law, English law and New York law, including market leaders Simona Marin and Simon Dayes. At the start of 2021, the firm also consolidated its M&A practice, having hired Partner Cristian Popescu to join an expanded M&A team of 15 attorneys.
