In addition to professional discussions on current topics, the participants had the opportunity to discover the charm, cultural richness, gastronomic variety of Bucharest, as well as the tourist potential of Romania.
The debates on the first day were held around the challenges of the legal profession in the current economic and geo-political context. The panel, moderated by Florentin Țuca, Managing Partner of Țuca Zbârcea & Asociații, benefited from the special intervention of the Minister of Energy, Sebastian Burduja, who encouraged all foreign lawyers present in Bucharest to promote Romania as an investment destination, highlighting some of country’s major projects in the energy field. Also, Mihail Neamțu and Adrian Severin addressed the audience, pointing out the current geopolitical opportunities and risks.
The following days were dedicated to other professional discussions, official and private meetings, as well as visits to some of the most representative local attractions and points of interest.
“We are honored by the presence of Multilaw in Bucharest, especially since this year we celebrated 20 years of activity, as well as 15 years as members of Multilaw. We are glad to welcome such a large number of foreign lawyers to our home city! Romania has a huge potential and we, as lawyers, have the chance to help build bridges of cooperation with colleagues from all over the world in various projects of common interest. We want this to be just the beginning of discovering Romania as a business destination, but also as a tourist destination. In this regard, we have also benefited from the support of the relevant ministry, which we thank”, pointed out Gabriel Zbârcea, Managing Partner of Țuca Zbârcea & Asociații.
