Areas of practice
Dispute resolution: the firm is focused on arbitration or litigation disputes related to the construction area. It has successfully taken cases from the initial claim phase, in front of the Dispute Adjudication Board (DAB)  in cases under FIDIC 1999 , all throughout the negotiation phase, also representing its clients in arbitration cases in front of arbitral tribunals from Paris (ICC), Vienna (VIAC) or Bucharest (CICA) or in front of Romanian courts.

Currently, the firm is creating a practice also on the new version of FIDIC contracts – second edition 2017 – having already cases that are in Dispute Avoidance/Adjudication Board (DAAB) or even in arbitration.

The firm is currently involved in several multi-million arbitration disputes between contractors and designers or between public authorities and contractors, situations which require complex knowledge of both fields: construction and arbitration.
