SAA strengthens its Corporate/M&A practice with the appointment of Vlad Ambrozie

Vlad advises domestic and international investors on acquisitions, disposals and strategic investments, combining extensive transactional experience with a commercially driven approach to legal advice. Having advised a broad range of market participants, including private equity funds, strategic investors and entrepreneurs, Vlad brings a nuanced understanding of the different commercial priorities and challenges involved in M&A transactions. His expertise spans transaction structuring and execution, corporate reorganisations, legal due diligence, risk assessment and complex negotiations. He frequently coordinates multidisciplinary teams and advises on complex legal and commercial matters at every stage of a transaction, from initial structuring through to completion.

With more than 16 years of experience in the legal profession, Vlad advises on significant domestic and cross-border transactions in sectors including manufacturing, healthcare, retail and FMCG, real estate and financial services. His approach is grounded in the view that effective transactional advice requires more than technical legal expertise. It requires commercial insight, industry knowledge and the ability to anticipate challenges, navigate competing interests and deliver pragmatic solutions that enable transactions to move forward.

Vlad's expertise has been recognised by leading international legal directories. He has been ranked as a Rising Star by IFLR1000 in multiple editions, while The Legal 500 EMEA has consistently acknowledged his work in Corporate, Commercial and M&A. Client and peer feedback has highlighted his strategic approach, commercial acumen and understanding of complex corporate governance matters.

Managing Partner Silviu Stratulat stated: “Our Corporate/M&A practice is one of the strongest and most diverse on the Romanian market, advising on transactions of growing scale and complexity across a wide range of sectors. Vlad’s arrival reinforces that position. He brings deep transactional experience, sound commercial judgment and a genuinely collaborative approach, and I’m confident our clients will feel the difference, particularly in complex negotiations where his ability to keep deals moving makes all the difference.”

Vlad Ambrozie added: “I am delighted to join Stratulat Albulescu and become part of a team with a strong reputation in the Romanian M&A market. The firm’s entrepreneurial mindset, collaborative culture and commitment to delivering commercially focused legal advice strongly resonate with my own approach. I look forward to contributing to the continued development of the practice and working alongside my new colleagues on challenging and rewarding mandates.”
