Work highlights
Represented a dynamic infrastructure construction company on contracts valued at over €2 billion involving complex highways and roads, hospitals, stadiums, schools, or cultural infrastructure projects across Romania.

Advised a prominent real estate company in a complex, high-stakes dispute over the acquisition and subdivision of industrial land near Timișoara, a matter further entangled by ongoing criminal investigations and significant regulatory challenges. The team also advised on the establishment of an industrial park and represents the client in insolvency-related litigation over gas infrastructure, with claims exceeding €36 million.
Represented a leading road and bridge construction company in a landmark dispute arising from the collapse of a bridge in Vrancea County. The case centred on intricate liability issues arising from legacy construction works from the 1970s to 1980s, structural failures, and the public authority’s refusal to disclose information or to compensate for the requested works following the collapse.
