Popovici Nitu law firm merges with Corin Danescu's 10-litigator team

Lawyers of Popovici Nitu & Asociatii and Danescu & Asociatii have merged, bringing the team of the firm founded by Ernest Popovici fifteen years ago to 70 lawyers, comparable to that of firms such as Musat & Asociatii and Tuca Zbarcea & Asociatii.
Corin Danescu, 51, founder of Danescu & Asociatii, specialising in litigations, will become senior partner of Popovici Nitu & Asociatii, which will preserve its name.
The merger of the two firms will bring the litigation department of Popovici Nitu & Asociatii to 20 lawyers, who will be coordinated by Corin Danescu and Ciprian Dontu, with the latter being recently promoted as partner of the firm.
"I've known Ernest Popovici since I graduated from college and I can say we have things in common. Over time, we fought in opposing teams in several litigations. But now circumstances worked in favour of a merger," said Corin Danescu, the newly appointed senior partner of Popovici Nitu & Asociatii.
The merger of the two firms comes ten years after another similar move, the integration of the law firm specialising in litigations of Ana Diculescu-Sova into the firm founded by Ion and Manuela Nistor, which led to the creation of NNDKP.
Popovici Nitu collected seven million euros in revenues last year, and targets a 10-15% increase in business this year. Danescu & Asociatii posted over 2 million euros in revenues last year.
