Founded in 1990, Nestor Nestor Diculescu Kingston Petersen (“NNDKP”) is independently recognized as a promoter of business law in Romania and a preeminent full-service provider that distinguishes itself through a thorough understanding of the industry particulars in a domestic and international context and an unwavering commitment to client satisfaction.

During the past two decades, NNDKP emerged as one of Romania’s largest and most respected business legal services providers to corporations, financial institutions, private equity funds and entrepreneurs. Complementary, NNDKP was the first Romanian law firm to propose IP services commonly associated with boutique firms, through NNDKP IP; and built-in legal & tax solutions, through NNDKP Tax Advisory Services, acknowledged as one of the most reputed independent tax consultancy firms on the Romanian market.

In 2016, NNDKP initiated a strategic alliance with Transfer Pricing Services, the leading independent transfer pricing advisor in CEE, to expand our expertise in this area. In 2018, NNDKP expanded its expertise by a joint approach with a series of vectors, Cornerstone Communications, the first CEE-focused investors relations company and Concilium Consulting, a financial services advisory firm for private companies and the public sector, to design together new business development strategies.

Today, NNDKP brings together some of the most knowledgeable, talented and dedicated lawyers and tax advisors active in Romania, with proven results that reflect an authentic mix of first class capabilities, industry insights, courtroom experience and practical business sense. Currently, 33 partners coordinate a team of over 120 lawyers & counselors (including IP and tax).

The firm is constantly top ranked by the most important international legal guides such as Chambers & Partners, The European Legal 500 and IFLR 1000. Moreover, NNDKP is proud to have been recognized as the "Law firm of the Year in Romania" by Chambers Europe for four times during the nine years since this distinction started being awarded to Romanian law firms (2009, 2012, 2013, 2017). Furthermore, NNDKP IP was awarded "Romanian IP firm of the year" between 2014-2018 by Managing Intellectual Property.

NNDKP represents Romania in some of the most prestigious international professional alliances and organizations. In 1999, the firm was invited to become the exclusive Romanian member firm of Lex Mundi, the world's leading network of independent law firms with in-depth experience in 100+ countries worldwide, established in 1989. In 2002, the firm became the exclusive member for Romania of World Services Group, the largest leading network of independent elite professional services providers.
