Bondoc si Asociatii SCA's client roster for dispute resolution features a mixture of top players in some of Romania’s key industries, along with major companies in more niche areas requiring rare sectoral experience. The department is well versed in domestic and cross-border matters, and its international reach is boosted by the firm’s association with the White & Case network. Heavily regulated sectors and disputes arising from issues specific to them are a particular strength, most notably in the administrative and environmental law spheres. The team is jointly coordinated by managing partner and corporate law expert Lucian Bondoc; Viorel Dinu, who leads the litigation arm of the firm; and Ioana Katona, who gives adept counsel in various commercial disputes, administrative proceedings and tax litigations. Răzvan Agarici is developing a diverse litigation practice. Mihai Vlăsceanu, Alexandru Golu, and Anca Radu all further reflect the practice’s strength in depth.
