Irina Florea

Legal advisor specialising in European Union accession, justice sector reform, institutional development, and economic development, with a particular focus on the Eastern Partnership region. Experienced in providing legal and policy advice on EU integration, approximation of national legislation with the EU acquis, judicial reform, rule of law, governance, and strengthening the independence, accountability, and effectiveness of justice institutions. My work sits at the intersection of law, international relations, European public policy, and economic development, with a focus on supporting governments, public institutions, and international partners in translating reform commitments into practical and sustainable outcomes. I engage with issues including EU accession methodology, institutional capacity-building, fundamental rights, justice-sector transformation, economic governance, investment, and the regulatory conditions underpinning sustainable and inclusive economic growth. I bring a comparative and strategic perspective to complex reform environments, contributing to dialogue among national authorities, EU institutions, and international organisations, with an emphasis on credible implementation, institutional resilience, the rule of law, and sustainable development as foundations for successful European integration.
