A Closer Look at Ancuta Pop
What does being a lawyer mean to you?
Being a lawyer is one of the major ways of accomplishing my purpose in life. First, being able to create and tell stories (the story of a project, of a client) and find the best perspective for presenting them, and second being a mentor.
What value do you and your firm receive from TAG Alliances membership?
We have had clients come through the alliance, and referred others to fellow members. We are very pleased about the excellent collaborations with other TAG members and that we were able to both assist with clarifications on particular points of law as well as receive the same, which has been very helpful in offering advice to our clients.
What is something unique about your firm?
We are an independent law firm with a highly energetic team that boasts on its remarkable capacity for problem solving and on its impressive track-record of first-to-market project development mandates handled from planning to operations across many industries.
Do you have a favorite memory about a TAG Alliances Conference or interaction/collaboration with another TAG Alliances member?
One particular interaction I had with Katja Zdolsek of Zdolsek – attorneys at law (Slovenia - TAGLaw) comes to mind. Katja graciously answered some questions on Slovenian law and it was so easy to talk to her. She was so relatable, both on a personal as well as a professional level, that I had no hesitations in recommending her to our clients.
