”Behind this success lie tens of thousands of working hours and sacrifices from our entire team of professionals, translated into hundreds of satisfied clients and closed assignments and transactions. And although it is said third time lucky, luck had little to do with this achievement. We hereby thank everyone! We promise that Maravela & Asociatii`s story, only recently having begun being written, will continue in the same beautiful manner in the volumes to come.” Gelu Maravela, Managing Partner Maravela & Asociatii
”We are happy and proud of our achievement, for which several credits are due. Without any particular order, we thank our wonderful team, our clients for their trust and our friends for their support! We would also like to thank our peers from other Romanian law firms that keep the market at a very competitive level, which drives us to permanently reinvent ourselves and strive to stand in the top ranks. A special thank you to Musat & Asociatii and its founder, Gheorghe Musat, who consistently contributed to the professional path of Maravela & Asociatii`s founding partners as it was the case with many other important law firms.” Alina Popescu, Managing Partner Maravela & Asociatii
