The Radu şi Asociații SPRL team, coordinated by Andrei Stefanovici (Director), consisted of Alexandra Constantin (Senior Associate, Regulatory) and Irina Bica (Senior Associate, Corporate and Real Estate). Anca Atanasiu (Managing Associate) and Ana Flueran (Senior Associate) managed the labor and intellectual property law aspects of the transaction.
The legal assistance provided consisted in conducting a legal due diligence analysis regarding the Feldioara Branch of Compania Națională a Uraniului S.A. and the assets that were the subject of the sale as well as in the support provided to S.N. Nuclearelectrica S.A. regarding the drafting and negotiation of the sale-purchase contract and the transaction documents.
Cosmin Ghiță, General Manager of S.N. Nuclearelectrica S.A., stated: “I am very pleased with our collaboration with Radu și Asociații SPRL team. They have made an important contribution to this transaction and I would like to thank them for their support throughout the process."
