Her practical, business-minded legal advice has made her a trusted counsel in the strategic decisions of numerous clients.
Real Estate & Construction
Corina is a highly regarded legal advisor with over 20 years of experience in real estate, commercial leasing, and construction, advising Romania’s leading developers, retailers, and property owners. She is known for her ability to balance landlord and tenant interests, delivering strategic legal advice that adds real value.
She has played a key role in structuring and negotiating complex leasing arrangements and was instrumental in drafting standard lease agreements for one of Romania’s main shopping center developers in 2008. Later, she advised a global fashion retailer in adapting their international lease templates to the Romanian legal and commercial context.
Corina has also served as general counsel in Romania for major multinational clients, supporting their expansion and operations through tailored, business-focused legal guidance.
In construction, Corina has extensive experience with both greenfield and brownfield projects—from land acquisition, permitting, and development to redevelopment and adaptive reuse of existing assets. She ensures full alignment with timelines, budgets, and regulatory requirements.
She also regularly assists clients in identifying and assembling large land plots, managing fragmented ownership, title due diligence, and acquisition strategies for complex developments.
Corina’s practical, hands-on approach and ability to coordinate multi-layered projects make her a trusted legal partner in Romania’s evolving real estate and infrastructure sectors.
Renewable Energy & Mining
Corina’s experience in the energy and natural resources sector is extensive, covering both mining and renewable energy. Her work in the mining industry began in 2008, when she started advising one of the world’s leading mining corporations on complex regulatory and compliance matters. Since then, she has continued to support major mining companies operating in Romania, providing legal guidance on licensing, environmental issues, and operational frameworks.
Her expertise in renewable energy started in 2011, when she was involved in some of the first green energy projects implemented in Romania. She led extensive due diligence for the potential acquisition of large wind farms totaling over 400 MW in capacity. Corina has since advised numerous clients on investment opportunities in the Romanian renewable energy market and coordinated projects assessing and mitigating the regulatory impact of energy legislation on large industrial consumers.
