Romanian MPR Partners has announced it is opening an office in London, to be headed by Co-Founder and Co-Managing Partner Alina Popescu.

According to the firm, it is now "finalizing the process for the opening of its first London office in the City." The office, due to be launched by the end of spring, is "meant to support clients with operations in the UK and the EU."

“We have been working hard at the beginning of this year and are currently setting up an office in London, which is planned to grow with time," stated Popescu, adding: "We see a wealth of opportunities there and hope to start local hires soon enough. Meanwhile, our vast experience in managing legal teams, our highly proficient existing base, our AI capabilities, and a very extensive network of contacts worldwide will allow us to successfully and cost-effectively handle any mandate. Our international recognition to date and the outstanding reviews from our international clients, many of whom were hoping for us to expand abroad, give us the confidence that the opening of a London arm is the right move at this stage of our firm’s development. London has always been our benchmark in terms of quality of service and competitiveness. With Brexit and the ensuing opportunities, the new office is a natural step forward that will meet our existing clients’ demand for law firms with international presence and hopefully help us to tap into new markets.”

Gelu Maravela, Co-Founder and Co-Managing Partner of the firm, added: “We are thrilled to be opening an international office in London, a visionary city that boasts unparalleled legal expertise and a huge potential for business. This is to some extent a personal satisfaction, seen my years of study and previous positions in the UK, which has always been like a second home. Personal story left aside, the peculiar context we have been living in for over a year has made us realize the ever-growing importance of innovation, transboundary reach, on-site approach, and accessibility. Though it may seem like an ambitious move at this time, looking back at the numerous achievements of our past years together, MPR Partners has always been a bold firm, to begin with – and we do not plan this to change anytime soon. We are deeply grateful to all our partners for their support in making this happen.”
