‘The team is particularly strong in antitrust, IP, tax and regulatory litigation. What makes them special is that the lawyers in the team are well versed both in terms of substantive law and procedural aspects – as opposed to most firms where the substantive analysis of the case is done by a different team and not by the litigators actually presenting the case in court. At RTPR litigation is intertwined with the other practices (IP, antitrust etc.) which means that their litigators master the details of the case better than at other firms.’

‘Valentin Berea is great in the court room, but also a skilled negotiator, so he is also best placed to assist in complicated settlements.’

‘Alexandru Stanoiu is an excellent tax and insolvency litigator, with great results and extremely nice to work with. Andrada Rusan is a talented associate on the rise, always thorough and responsive.’
