  • ‘Baciu's team takes the time to truly understand each client's business, goals, and challenges. They then craft a legal strategy that is not only legally sound but also commercially pragmatic, helping clients navigate complex issues with a clear path to a favourable outcome. The team is trained to be proactive, not just reactive. They actively monitor legal and industry trends to advise clients on potential issues before they become major problems. Their goal is to help us stay ahead of the curve, mitigate risks, and seize new opportunities.’
  • ‘What makes the individuals on Baciu's team stand out is their combination of deep legal expertise and a genuine, client-first mindset. They don't just hire lawyers; they hire people who are passionate about their work and dedicated to making a tangible difference for their clients. It's a key part of Baciu's culture. Their professionals don't see themselves as just legal advisors, but as strategic partners invested in each client's success. This is a critical distinction that shapes every interaction and decision. I have been working with Andrei Cosma for several years, and he is a standout professional in every sense. He is not only exceptionally knowledgeable but also consistently available, making himself accessible to clients at all times. What truly sets Andrei apart is his profound empathy; he excels at supporting clients through difficult times with sensitivity and understanding. His ability to combine expert legal counsel with genuine compassion makes him an invaluable asset and a trusted advisor to everyone he works with.’
  • ‘Baciu Partners prioritise open communication and transparency, creating an environment where we feel comfortable discussing even the most complex issues. They support and can manage all aspects of day-to-day activities where we would otherwise struggle with language barriers. What differentiates them is not only their deep knowledge of the gambling sector in Romania but also their practical, solution-oriented approach.'
  • ‘We particularly value the dedication and responsiveness of Andrei Cosma, whose leadership and insight have been instrumental in navigating regulatory and business changes this year. We can always be assured that at short notice and when needed Andrei will make himself available. We are consistently impressed by the full team at Baciu with their professionalism and support in our interactions.’
  • ‘Ana-Maria Baciu is insightful, informed, efficient, and practical. She and her team are not just quoting the law, but also making sure that they are providing practical applications of the law.'
  • ‘The individuals we work with at Baciu stand out through their professionalism, responsiveness, and ability to provide clear, business-oriented legal solutions. Compared to competitors, they are highly approachable and collaborative, and they always deliver within the expected timeframe.
