It so happened that we became quite involved in this area and all most important banking and finance deals in Moldova are handled by our firm. Maybe because we like it. Or maybe because we always displayed a particular interest towards it. Or maybe because we received more and more mandates from clients in this area.

Whichever are the reasons, when we work on a Moldovan banking or finance matter, we feel what a football player feels on his home territory. We feel responsible. We feel motivated.

We have authored the 'Moldova' Chapter of the Global Financial Services Regulators, an impressive compilation by the UK publishers Richmond Law & Tax.
