Schönherr wins partner in Romania

Austrian firm Schönherr has boosted its Bucharest office with the hire of a capital markets partner from Romanian firm Bostina & Associates.

The firm has brought in Bostina capital markets head Narcisa Oprea as a partner to strengthen its Bucharest office.

Bucharest-based Schönherr partner Markus Piuk commented: "It's not easy to attract an experienced capital markets lawyer such as Narcisa in this market. A lawyer of her calibre is an addition to any firm."

The hire is the second boost for the firm's capital markets group within a couple of months. Earlier in the year capital markets associate Adi Winter joined the Vienna office from the Milan office of Clifford Chance.
