Romanian firm Stratulat Albulescu has opened a new office in Chisinau, Republic of Moldova, with Sabina Cerbu joining as a Partner.
Specializing in corporate/M&A and intellectual property, Cerbu joins after working since 2020 in her eponymous firm Law Office Cerbu Sabina. Before that, she worked at Efrim Rosca & Asociatii between 2015 and 2019, where she became the Head of Litigation in 2016. Earlier still, she worked for the Ministry of Justice, first as the Head of the Minister's Office between 2011 and 2013 and then as a Deputy Minister between 2013 and 2015. Her experience also includes working as a Junior Lawyer with Burac Law Office between 2010 and 2011 and with JV Moldcell between 2008 and 2009.
According to the firm, the office will be led by the firm's Managing Partner Silviu Stratulat. Alongside, Cerbu, the firm currently features two Senior Associates in the office on its website and announced it expects "to grow significantly over the next 12 months."
"We saw the potential of the Moldovan market when we noticed the increased interest from Moldova in investment from Romania and indeed elsewhere in Europe and are very excited to have now brought our law firm to Chisinau," Stratulat commented. "We strongly believe in the growth prospects of Moldova and with our presence on the ground, we want to contribute to the future development of the country."
