SIMION & BACIU welcomes Theodor Simion as Chief Financial Officer

 
 

SIMION & BACIU has announced that Theodor Simion has joined the firm as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and a member of the firm’s senior management team.


As the legal landscape continues to evolve, the role of a CFO in a law firm becomes increasingly crucial. In this context, Theodor brings a wealth of experience to the SIMION & BACIU team, garnered from his previous positions in both multinational and prominent domestic companies, leaders in their respective industries, such as Ipsen Pharma SAS or Petrom S.A.. His diverse background provides a solid foundation for a consistent approach to the financial and operational aspects of the firm, with a unique twist, thanks to Theodor’s expertise obtained during his activity in some of the most regulated industries, including pharmaceuticals and natural resources.

A professional with more than 20 years of experience including in global and regional roles, Theodor has a proven track record of successfully contributing to the development of sustainable practices for organically growing businesses. Passionate about developing people and organizations, Theodor holds an Executive MBA degree from the Vienna University – WU Executive Academy.

At SIMION & BACIU, Theodor will play a pivotal role in designing and implementing a comprehensive financial strategy aligned with the firm's mission and objectives, while ensuring its financial health. He will lead SIMION & BACIU’s strategic and operational approach to financial activities, including financial planning, cost, revenue and cash flow management, reporting, accounting, billing and collections. Also, he will work closely with Managing Partners Cosmina Maria Simion and Ana-Maria Baciu to design and implement initiatives in areas such as risk management, investment and strategic financing, laying the groundwork for robust future expansion plans.

"Theodor's multifaceted professional expertise, combined with his deep knowledge of highly regulated industries, is further enriched by his experience as a client of external legal services. This combination of capabilities will be invaluable for our ongoing growth and will enhance our ability to consistently deliver innovative, client-focused solutions, at a time when the legal industry is evolving at an unprecedented pace and in areas it little tapped before. For SIMION & BACIU this move reflects our dedication to staying at the forefront", mentioned Cosmina Maria Simion, Managing Partner at SIMION & BACIU.

We are thrilled to welcome Theodor to our team as our inaugural Chief Financial Officer. Ensuring an efficient allocation of our resources is critical for delivering highly tailored legal services to benefit our clients and business partners. Theodor’s all-encompassing expertise will be of essence in driving continuous improvement and promoting best practices for our financial operations, and not only. This will facilitate optimized cost management and streamlined finance and billing practices, ultimately offering clients the continuous added value they seek for their legal requirements”, stated Ana-Maria Baciu, Managing Partner at SIMION & BACIU.
 
Theodor’s addition to SIMION & BACIU team is part of the firm’s strategy to complement its pool of talented lawyers and counsellors with highly reputable business services professionals.

With this new addition, the firm marks another strategic milestone in its evolution, reaffirming its commitment to a sustainable, long-term development. It also signals the consolidation of SIMION & BACIU’s business operations in areas less conventional for a law firm, which are increasingly relevant for the type of interaction and partnership clients expect from their legal counsel.
