Complex Case Management in the criminal and economic domains
„The Lexure Legal Hub is the culmination of our efforts to bring together the foremost experts in business criminal law to provide unparalleled legal services in Romania,” says Adrian Sandru, founder of Lexure, a lawyer specialized in frauds with EU funds and judicial cooperation in criminal matters. „This collaborative effort not only augments each member’s specialization but also fosters synergies to the advantage of Lexure’s clientele”.

George Zlati, founder of Lexure and an expert in cybercrime and blockchain technology, stresses the importance of specialization within the team: „In complex cases the need is not for generalists but for teams of specialized and interdisciplinary lawyers. Proper management of legal challenges arising from cybercrime and emerging technologies requires both in-depth legal and technical knowledge and a particular capacity to adapt to change. Lexure includes lawyers that are specialized and recognized at national or European level, whether we are talking about cybercrime, tax evasion, criminal liability of the legal person, corruption, fraud with European funds, etc.”
