Former Goodlegal founder and UiPath Head of Legal Automation Vasile Tiple has joined KPMG Legal Toncescu si Asociatii "in a collaboration designed to help local and CEE clients to understand technology and its challenges."
Before joining the Big 4-affiliated firm, Tiple spent two years at the helm of Goodlegal, a startup dedicated to providing ready-made legal infrastructure (as reported by CEE Legal Matters on May 23, 2022). Earlier in his career, Tiple was the first in-house counsel and served as the General Counsel of UiPath. He swapped roles internally in 2020 to become the Head of Legal Automation and launch a new business line at UiPath (as reported by CEE In-House Matters on July 8, 2020). He started his legal career as a legal adviser with Transparency International Romania in 2010. In June 2012, he joined Fashion Days Shopping, then took on the role of Senior Legal Specialist with Adobe in October of the same year. He assumed the first permanent in-house legal role with UiPath in 2016 to ultimately become the General Counsel of the company.
"We are thrilled to welcome Vasile Tiple to KPMG Legal - Toncescu si Asociatii," commented Partner Laura Toncescu. "His collaboration is a natural step considering that technology was and will continue to be a key element for us locally and for the global network. His experience in leading legal operations at some of the world’s most dynamic technology companies uniquely positions him to drive the technology and transformation strategy forward for us and for our clients."
“I am excited to join such a fantastic team at a crucial moment for the legal industry," Tiple added. "The current AI revolution represents a great opportunity to reimagine the provision of legal services, from individual tasks to enterprise-level AI automation. Our main goal will be to establish the right framework for safe and impactful AI implementation, allowing us and our clients to derive maximum value from the entire technological landscape.”
Tiple contributed an article in the 2017 CEE Legal Matters Corporate Counsel Handbook titled "Tackling the General Counsel Role" accessible here.
