Bulboaca and Partners to take on top 10 in 2008

Adrian Bulboaca, the lawyer who left the local office of Linklaters, the world’s second largest law firm, at the end of last year, has started to build his own team in an attempt to become one of the top ten local law firms within a year. “This year we intend to lay the foundation of the team, and then we want to take on the top ten in 2008. We do not rule out the possibility of becoming partners with other renowned firms,” says Adrian Bulboaca, managing partner. At the end of last year, Bulboaca, 37, as well as another five lawyers, left the local office of Linklaters, the second biggest law firm worldwide in terms of turnover, in one of the biggest moves the local market has witnessed recently. “There is still room for departure in the big firms. Usually, those who leave and are experienced already have a business mind, not only formed, but also well grounded. At a certain point, a personal relationship is formed between a lawyer and their client and the latter often accompanies the lawyer after their departure from a certain firm,” says Bulboaca.
