ENACHE PIRTEA & Associates > Firm Profile
Extraordinary Professionalism Applied to the requirements and needs of the clients – this is what ENACHE PIRTEA & Associates stands for and the main drive and focus of our Law Firm. This is best encompassed by our Firm motto (“We go the extra mile”), as well as in our mission (Inside the business & outside the box) and vision (To provide businesses with integrated practical solutions for ethically moving forward and shaping the future). We are lawyers who think business and who always give clients applicable leading-edge solutions, in order to ensure their businesses move forward with ethics and integrity, while clients (public figures, businessmen, entrepreneurs, managers or employees) are safe to enjoy a better future.
The Firm’s focal area of activity is Criminal Law, namely White-Collar & Business Crime, in its two main components: criminal investigation and litigation, as well as business crime consultancy and counselling (in business ethics & integrity). Furthermore, EPA has developped an important Business Law practice, proving that across-the-board experience in business matters (corporate, commercial, labour, civil litigation, etc.) and the trust of clients are key ingredients for successful legal projects.
The achievements and dedication of the firm especially in the field of White-Collar & Business Crime has already been acknowledged by some of the most prestigious international publications, EPA being already a constant partner in the last years in topics of anti-corruption, business crime and anti money laundering and gaining important awards for its undeniable and inexhaustible devotedness to the legal profession and to clients alike.
WHITE-COLLAR & BUSINESS CRIME – key area of practice: Over the past 15 years the Firm’s core attorneys have developed unparalleled practical skills in this field of law, forged in the midst of some of the fiercest and most scrutinized top-level court battles and prosecutorial inquiries, be it national (in Romania) or international (involving specialised investigative authorities such as SEC, DoJ, SFO, etc.).
Considering our long-standing experience and proficiency in serving international clients, EPA is mainly working for foreign corporate clients, as well as for their executives and officers, but is also acting on behalf of local companies, business men, public figures, politicians or officials, fighting criminal law battles from all procedural stances.
Be it corruption crimes or money laundering, economic criminality or abuse of office, embezzlement of EU funds or cybercrimes, copyright or environmental criminal breaches, we have across-the-board experience and knowledge in Criminal Law matters, be it investigation, litigation or consultancy projects.
Investigation and litigation is undoubtedly our strongest and best-known area of expertise, where our solid reputation is best proven by our actions and by our results. The main services and activities are: preliminary analysis of cases and potentially damaging situations; strategic planning of defence strategies or offensive actions; preparing and drafting all supporting legal documents; full-service representationin in all phases of the criminal trial (criminal investigation and court trials), in front of all criminal investigation authorities and courts of law, at all national and international jurisdictional levels.
Consultancy and counselling is, likewise, a very developed practice of the Firm, which is one of the very few criminal law practitioners to fully understand and provide to corporate clients compliance services, regulatory activities, white-collar due diligence, internal investigations and training or extrajudicial procedures assistance. EPA handles cases relating to the most sensitive and vital areas of business ethics & integrity, such as anticorruption, anti-money laundering, antitrust & competition, acquisitions, financial and white-collar.
