Criminal defense lawyers Adrian Sandru, George Zlati, and Dorel Herinean have joined forces to launch the Lexure legal hub in Romania.
Lexure describes itself as a collective of lawyers who "collaborate on complex projects, offering expertise and specialized legal services in the field of criminal law," with a "unique approach that combines the flexibility of independent practice with the advantages of a consolidated legal team."
So far, the Lexure project includes Founders Sandru, Zlati, and Herinean, as well as Lawyers Adrian Stan, Mihai Suian, Oana Bugnar-Coldea, Daniela Georgescu, Alexandra Costache-Sandu, and Ovidiu Predescu. They offer services covering three of Romania's historical regions: Transilvania, Banat, and Muntenia.
Before establishing Lexure, Bucharest's Sandru set up his private practice, Sandru Avocati, in December 2023. Earlier, he spent almost four years with Act Botezatu Estrade and two and a half with Mares & Mares as a Criminal Defence Attorney, starting in 2017. He specializes in EU fund fraud and judicial cooperation in criminal matters.
Before founding Lexure, Zlati led his own Zlati.Legal: Cyber & Criminal Law practice in Cluj-Napoca for almost four years. Earlier, he spent almost nine years with Sergiu Bogdan & Associates, between 2012 and 2020. He specializes in cybercrime and blockchain technology.
Before Lexure, Herinean was a sole practitioner for almost four years, starting in 2020. Earlier, he spent almost three years with Enache Pirtea & Associates, starting in 2017. He specializes in economic crime and corporate criminal liability.
"When you have an extensive professional network, made up of specialists you know and have collaborated with for years, you have all the necessary ingredients to lay the foundations of an avant-garde project," Zlati commented.
