Competition Council OKs Kinstellar’s acquisition of law firm Noerr Romania
<p>The Competition Council announced on October 24 that it authorized the transaction by which the Kinstellar network of law firms, through Kinstellar SPARL, intends to take over Noerr Romania.</p>

<p>Noerr Romania comprises SPRL Menzer &amp; Bachmann – Noerr, which provides legal consulting services, and Noerr Finance &amp; Tax SRL, which deals with accounting and financial audit activities and consulting in the tax field.</p>
