Ioana Romana Laurentiu is Founding and Managing Partner of Laurențiu, Laurențiu & Associates (LLA), a leading business law firm she co-founded in 2007 with Alin Mihai Laurențiu. Based in Romania, LLA has built a reputation for clarity, precision, and depth in handling complex legal matters. Ioana began her career in academia, lecturing on private law at Babeș-Bolyai University, with a focus on special contracts.

Her practice is centered around structuring and negotiating high-value transactions, with a particular focus on M&A, real estate development, investor relations, and corporate governance. She regularly advises companies, founders, and investment vehicles on legal strategy in growth contexts — from early structuring to complex exits.

Under her guidance, together with Alin, LLA has been consistently ranked for nine consecutive years in The Legal 500, a leading independent directory of top global law firms — and remains the only Romanian law firm outside Bucharest ever included.

Ioana is described by The Legal 500 as “a force to be reckoned with,” “outstanding in contracts,” and is noted for her ability to guide high-profile clients through complex legal frameworks.

Beyond her legal work, Ioana maintains an active presence in cultural and public discourse, offering reflections on law, society, and contemporary culture — featured in respected Romanian journals and media.
