January 2025

We’ve officially kicked off the 2024-2025 series of activities for law students with an event that holds a special place in our hearts (and calendar 😊): Lawyers After Work—an informal, engaging gathering hosted in partnership with our partners, ELSA Bucharest.

The energy was electric as 25 enthusiastic law students filled the space to the brim, joined by an almost equal number of our very own BACIU PARTNERS team members. The venue may have felt too small, but the ideas and conversations were anything but! Together, we dove into a topic deeply ingrained in our professional DNA: the intricate, nuanced, but highly rewarding two-way street of the client-lawyer relationship.

This open forum wasn’t just about sharing principles that guide lawyers as service providers—it was a dynamic exploration of what clients expect from their interactions with law firms. Through thought-provoking discussions and few-to-many breakout sessions, students were encouraged to ask questions and voice their concerns.

We’re grateful to our guests — Flavius Cimpian, Natalia Nistorean, and Atilla Biro — for their invaluable contributions, which brought depth and coherence to the dialogue. Your insights helped us ensure the conversations were meaningful and impactful.

For us at BACIU PARTNERS, the vibrant dynamic created between our guests, students, and team members was nothing short of inspiring. Events like these remind us how crucial it is to bridge the gap between academia and practice.

A huge thank you goes to our team members who joined the event and showed firsthand what “lawyers after work” do😊!

As we set our sights on the subsequent student-focused activities, we can’t wait to continue building these connections and sharing more meaningful conversations in the coming months.
