The RTPR Allen & Overy team included Managing Partner Costin Taracila, Counsel Alina Stavaru, and Junior Associate Mihnea Radu, along with lawyers from Allen & Overy’s Amsterdam, Prague, and Milan offices. According to RTPR Allen & Overy, "the shareholders were assisted by two of the most prominent M&A consultants on the market, Radu Stoicoviciu and Raluca Nita."
