Managing Partner
Alexandru Ambrozie advises companies, boards, audit committees, and senior executives on internal investigations, white-collar matters and complex situations involving regulatory scrutiny, governance risk and reputational exposure.
With more than 20 years' experience, his practice spans internal investigations and white-collar, banking and finance, capital markets, corporate governance and regulatory matters, with a particular focus on situations where legal, regulatory and reputational considerations intersect.
