International law firm CMS is pleased to announce the appointment of Horea Popescu as Managing Partner of the firm’s Bucharest office, with effect from 1 November 2020. Horea takes over from Gabriel Sidere, who has been CMS Bucharest’s Managing Partner since 2010.
A leading corporate transactional lawyer, Horea has been a partner at CMS since 2008, and has advised on many of the most significant deals in Romania over the course of his career. In May 2020, following six successful years as Head of Transactions at CMS Romania, Horea was appointed CEE Head of Corporate and M&A.
Horea Popescu comments: “I am honoured to be appointed Managing Partner of CMS Bucharest. Gabriel has done a superb job managing the Bucharest office over the last 10 years, as demonstrated by the firm’s continued growth and excellent reputation as a leading international law firm in Romania. Over the last 12 months, I have worked closely with Gabriel and Dora Petranyi, CMS CEE Managing Director, to prepare myself for this transition and to ensure a smooth handover. The future of CMS Bucharest looks very bright, and I look forward to working with our talented teams to translate our plans into a prosperous reality.”
