Promotions at ZRVP: Two Partners Join Management Team and Four Other Lawyers Take a Step Forward in Their Careers

Zamfirescu Racoți Vasile & Partners (ZRVP) has expanded its management team to 17 partners by promoting lawyers Violeta Saranciuc and Alexandru Iorgulescu to partners. The two new partners will strengthen the management teams of the international arbitration and restructuring & insolvency departments. Four other lawyers in the litigation department (Daniela Iacob, Andreia Moraru, Adelina Petcu and Andra Bălțatu) have been promoted to different levels of seniority.

Law firm Zamfirescu Racoți Vasile & Partners (ZRVP) announces a series of promotions for 2024 within its team. The six appointments, effective March 1, 2024, are for lawyers in the Litigation department, with the promotions awarded based on performance criteria such as professional contribution to the firm’s success, the ample scope and complexity of the projects they have coordinated, as well as business skills and positive feedback from clients.

“The moment of promotions, especially for partners who started their careers with us from day one, reminds me of graduation festivities. Our school for lawyers continues our story and our mission of training accomplished professionals, the epitome of dedication and responsibility in the legal profession. The journey of the legal profession is fascinating and can only be successfully taken by those who follow this path with passion, dedication and hard work. I congratulate them on this achievement and wish them every success in the future”, said Cosmin Vasile, managing partner of Zamfirescu Racoți Vasile & Partners.

The new partners are successful young lawyers who have contributed over the years to the expansion of the firm’s client portfolio and the development of the teams they lead. Both Violeta Saranciuc and Alexandru Iorgulescu started their careers at ZRVP 15 years ago, going through all professional levels, from internships during their university studies to the coordination of numerous large-scale projects and strategic mandates in various fields.

“ZRVP is the largest litigation and arbitration law brand in Romania, with a solid reputation and strong presence in the international arbitration services market. I am honored and delighted to become a partner at this law firm, contributing to the further development of the international arbitration practice. It has been a long-haul flight, and I am grateful for the guidance I have received and the people I have met along the way. From everyone– fellow lawyers, clients, representatives of other legal professions and other professions and fields– I had something to learn. Strengthening the relationship with ZRVP, by being promoted as a partner, means that this professional journey continues in a new form, with new goals, but with the same passion for law”, said Violeta Saranciuc.

“Thank you to our partners for their support and trust over the years. The new position honors me and motivates me to leverage the invaluable litigation experience I gained at ZRVP into new opportunities. I value the passion and dedication to the client of the team I have around me and I am confident that together we will strengthen our insolvency and financial-banking litigation practice”, added Alexandru Iorgulescu.

Four other lawyers in the litigation department have moved up through the ranks. Daniela Iacob was promoted to managing associate and Andreia Moraru, Adelina Petcu and Andra Balțatu became senior associates.

The current promotions have extended the team of managing associates to 11 lawyers with the task of coordinating litigation teams, after another senior lawyer, Eugen Tudose, was promoted to this seniority last year.

The litigation department has also recently gained a new senior lawyer by co-opting Cristina Onofrei, a lawyer with over ten years of experience in civil and commercial litigation, administrative law and public procurement.
