Celebrating 5 years since its establishment by highly experienced business lawyers, Maravela|Asociații is undergoing a rebranding process that includes a name change to MPR Partners | Maravela, Popescu & Roman and a new logo.
The new brand links the names of the founding partners Gelu Maravela, Alina Popescu and Ioan Roman to the initials of all firm’s partners (MPR), thus including Dana Rădulescu and Alexandra Rîmbu, who were recently promoted to equity partner positions. Furthermore, the new logo comprises a graphic element (the white letter M on an orange background) symbolizing the everlasting memory of founding partner Marius Pătrășcanu, sadly departed in 2016.
The new brand is thus purported to flag out the important contribution of the entire team to the firm’s establishment and development to date. Moreover, the rebranding process is meant to reflect the firm’s current market positioning and its next development stage on national and international levels.
„By aligning the firm’s branding elements to our leadership mechanics, current firm status and international development plans, we wish to provide an additional boost to our evolution within the next five years, that we hope will be as generous as the first five. We take the opportunity to reiterate our gratitude towards our clients, team, suppliers, and friends for their continued trust and support given from our establishment to date. With your help, we wish to continue making the (legal and business) world a better place.” mentioned Alina Popescu.
With over 15 years of experience in business law, founding partner Alina Popescu chairs the firm’s competition, contract law, and technology departments, equally being a senior member of the firm’s mergers and acquisitions, corporate law and international arbitration departments. She holds a Master's degree (LL.M) in European Union Law awarded by Montesquieu Bordeaux IV University, France and a Bachelor's Degree in Law awarded by the Faculty of Law of the University of Bucharest. Mandates recently led by Alina include assistance to major international corporations in investigations conducted by the Competition Council, assistance regarding clearances issued by the Competition Council and other national competition authorities with respect to major transactions including 2-to-1 mergers, assistance to major international corporations regarding various contractual and regulatory issues related to technology and communications, representing the Romanian state in a major international investment arbitration, assisting several foreign entities in connection with important company acquisitions on the Romanian market, etc. Prior to co-founding Maravela | Asociații (currently MPR Partners | Maravela, Popescu & Roman), Alina worked with Muşat & Asociaţii and Rubin, Meyer, Doru & Trandafir law firms.
„I am happy about this rebranding and proud about the numerous successes the firm has had these past 5 years since its establishment. We plan to continue in the same manner, with the same high-quality standards and with a strong desire to evolve rapidly. We are determined to excel during the next period at being a full-service business law firm and to focus on the professionalism of our team members, the high quality of our services, the value we place on each member of our team and on an attractive working environment.” added Ioan Roman.
