Musat & Asociatii received two awards from Ziarul Financiar, the Romanian’s leading business publication, at the “Lawyers Gala” event. The distinctions recognize its outstanding achievements in Capital Markets and its leading position on the Romanian legal market.
The capital markets award acknowledges the firm’s assistance provided to Rompetrol Group in the mandatory public offering of Rompetrol Rafinare, the most significant transaction conducted on the Bucharest Stock Exchange last year, with a total value of EUR 90,000,000. “In fact, Musat & Asociatii conducted all of the three major public tender offers successfully finalized on the Bucharest Stock Exchange in the past 12 months, demonstrating an unmatched expertise in this area of practice. All these deals required a complex approach carried out by our team of experienced attorneys, thus proving our ability to handle multiple high-profile projects at the same time”, says Miruna Suciu, Partner with Musat & Asociatii and the Co-head of the Capital Markets Department.
The firm acted for SABMiller in the acquisition of the majority stock in Bere Azuga and also advised Sanofi Aventis during the indirect takeover of Zentiva. Currently, Musat & Asociatii is involved in the most extensive delisting procedure undertaken in the recent years on the local capital market, the delisting of Rompetrol Rafinare. Furthermore, Musat & Asociatii received an award for its 2009 financial results. The firm invoiced EUR 12,600,000 in legal fees last year, performance which reconfirms its dominant position on the Romanian legal market.
Musat & Asociatii’s capital markets expertise is also regularly praised by the reputed international legal guides, International Financial Law Review (IFLR 1000) and PLC-Which Lawyer?, which place the firm in the top tier of their rankings in this area of expertise and highly recommend our lawyers as experts on the Romanian capital market.
