WHITE & CASE, PACHIU SCA - 19 Ianuarie 2011
Global law firm White & Case LLP announces the appointment of high profile litigation lawyer, Paraschiva (Peggy) Şuică-Neagu, as a partner to lead its Bucharest disputes practice.
'Peggy's impressive litigation and arbitration experience, complemented by her background in the oil & gas industry sector, makes her a significant asset to the Bucharest office,' stated Delia Pachiu, co-executive partner of the Bucharest office. 'I am confident that our dispute resolution team will grow even more under Peggy's skilled leadership and that she will be a valuable resource for our Firm's clients,' Delia added.
Peggy Şuică-Neagu joins White & Case from OMV Petrom S.A. (formerly Petrom S.A.), where she led their litigation department.
With over 15 years of experience as a litigation lawyer, Peggy Şuică-Neagu is specialized in civil and commercial litigation, including administrative and tax, intellectual property, banking, labor and real estate. Her litigation and arbitration expertise is complemented by extensive exposure to projects and transactions in other practice areas such as oil & gas, privatizations, banking & finance, real estate, and labor & employment.
'A leading litigator and greatly respected within the legal and business community, Peggy will further strengthen our Bucharest office with her expertise. We are very pleased to have a lawyer of Peggy's capacity who can skillfully blend her legal knowledge and practical industry experience to create viable solutions for our clients,' added Lucian Bondoc, coexecutive partner of the Bucharest office.

Peggy Şuică-Neagu's appointment follows on the heels of an impressive list of partner hires in the Dispute Resolution Practice of White & Case in Europe.
