Lawyer Francisc Peli, who together with wife Carmen Peli,Cristina Filip, and a group of another 11 lawyers, founded a newlaw firm almost three years ago, called Peli Filip, now admits itwas difficult to get the firm going, with the firm currently amongthe players that can get involved in almost any type of case.

"There was a difficult time between November 2008 and May2009, when we were in the early stages, and had a limited clientbase: nobody was interested in a new law firm. Since then, however,we have been on a continuous upward trend. We ended 2008 with 30clients and now we have over 250," Peli told ZF in aninterview.

The firm's policy is not to supply data on the company'sturnover, but in terms of the number of lawyers, Peli Filip is atop ten player, according to data on the website of the BucharestBar Association. The firm currently counts 40 lawyers and is set toreach 45 this summer, by recruiting fresh law school graduates.

He runs the law firm alongside the other four partners of thefirm, who share administrative jobs, but continue to work aslawyers, because they believe it is important to keep in touch withthe clients essential for the firm.
