Testimonials

1. ”Recently, some of the board members and other people working on managing positions in our company were wrongly accused of creating an organized group, in order to forge documents regarding the typology of waste extracted from one of the oil excavations the company works on. Thanks to the dedicated work of the Băiculescu și Asociații team, the initially imposed stringent preventive measures have been replaced with the judicial control and subsequently entirely revoked.

The most significant victory yet was the admission of the appeal filed against the measures taken in the preliminary chamber stage, leading to a retrial of the case, reassuring us of the exceptional work of the legal team.

What pleasantly surprised us was the time dedicated to our case, the meetings held before each court session, and the consistent communication by the firm.” D.T.

2. ”After a lengthy 5-year legal process, the acquittal verdict in my case, achieved through the sustained efforts of the legal team at Băiculescu și Asociații, was refreshing, and confirmed my innocence.

I must admit that the pressure of the process and the thought of being convicted were intimidating, but being honestly informed about my chances, as well as the case’s progress, and the fact that Mr. Băiculescu discussed and confirmed every document with me before presenting it to the court, reassured me that I was in good hands, which was later proven by the solution.” Z.P.

3. ”Vasile and his team assisted us in a case where our company suffered damages as a result of the commission of embezzlement and fraudulent bankruptcy by a firm we collaborated with.

Our relationship with the law firm precedes these incidents, making it a straightforward choice to engage the same law firm to represent us in the criminal aspect. Despite the complexity and challenges of the case, the team’s efforts have aided us in partially recovering the damages incurred.” L.A.

Work highlights

1. Obtaining an acquittal solution pronounced by the Târgu-Mureș Court in 2022 and confirmed by the Appellate Court in 2023, for one of our clients that has been wrongfully accused of tax evasion.

2. Securing a recent dismissal resolution for a client falsely accused of tax evasion. Our team demonstrated, during the investigative phase, the lack of evidence implicating the suspect in the alleged crime.

3. Obtaining an important resolution to remand a case to the prosecutor’s office, following the impossibility of determining the object and limits of the trial, considering the numerous irregularities identified in the documentation prepared by the law enforcement agencies. This solution has been obtained for the representative of one of the largest supermarket chain in Romania.

4. The retrial of a case due to our persistent efforts spanning three years, ultimately resulting in the removal of incorrectly imposed preventive measures on clients falsely accused of organizing a criminal group.

Testimonials

1. “Băiculescu și Asociații was the first law firm to successfully assist us in the process of overturning unlawfully imposed administrative sanctions. Beyond the material damage caused, the significantly negative impact of these sanctions was the tarnishing of our company’s reputation, which had a big impact on our financial investment services.

The team consisting of Vasile Băiculescu, Antonia Prisacaru, Claudia Stoica, and Victoria Eremeev worked swiftly, considering the limited time available, and delivered results that exceeded expectations, given the extensive volume of documents and information they had to handle.” M.I.

2. “Working with Băiculescu și Asociații has been indispensable in navigating the intricacies of the Capital Markets. Their team’s deep understanding of financial regulations and market dynamics provided us with invaluable guidance. Their commitment to excellence and proactive approach made the complex seem manageable. We confidently recommend Băiculescu și Asociații for their outstanding expertise in Capital Markets.”R.

3. ”The team at Băiculescu și Asociații recently supported us in a public procurement matter by offering us guidance on how to lawfully continue a project secured by us through bidding but heavily delayed due to a subcontractor’s negligence.

The representatives of the firm maintained constant communication with us, thoroughly examined all the provided documents, despite their numerousness, visited our company’s headquarters for weekly meetings, and handled the case with professionalism and responsibility.

This serves as an additional confirmation of the reasons why we collaborate with them on numerous projects and choose them for any new matter.” D.F.

4. “We have a longstanding ongoing collaboration with Băiculescu și Asociații, during which they have assisted us in a variety of cases involving different complexities. These range from disputes related to leased properties to conflicts over alienated lands or defenses against unfounded claims made by certain companies.

The team at Băiculescu has been our trusted legal partners, and we know we can turn to them for any matter. We appreciate their uninterrupted availability, the time they dedicate to us, and the meticulous approach they apply to every project, regardless of its difficulty or importance.” L.A.

Work highlights

1. Our law firm assisted a prominent publicly listed financial investment services company in recovering a substantial amount that it had invested as a shareholder under certain conditions, which were subsequently unmet.

2. Our company has supported and continues to support the largest industrial cleanings and soil decontamination firm in Southeast Europe in recovering damages caused by a subcontractor during the execution of a significant project allocated through a public auction.

3. Our law firm recently supported the efforts of a shareholder in a company where the state holds a majority stake. The goal was to renegotiate the terms of lease contracts signed with a medical clinic for a nominal fee, contracts that resulted in substantial damages persisting from 2012 to 2023. Through our initiatives, the company’s losses were mitigated, and the excessively burdensome contracts were renegotiated to ensure fair conditions.
