- ‘I have worked directly with Robert Roșu, who stands out as a highly competent and strategic lawyer. He combines deep legal knowledge with a pragmatic approach, and his ability to manage complex matters efficiently makes him one of the firm's strongest assets. His communication is clear and focused, and he inspires confidence through both his expertise and his calm demeanour. I am also familiar with Manuela Gornoviceanu, who has shown herself to be a reliable professional. While her performance has been generally adequate, she does not stand out significantly compared to peers in the market. Overall, the individuals I have interacted with reflect the firm's broader strengths in commercial and advisory work, though not necessarily in white-collar crime litigation.’
- ‘The white collar crime practice operates under the strategic leadership of Robert Rosu, whose senior-level guidance ensures comprehensive oversight and strategic direction for all complex criminal matters. Working alongside Manuela Gornoviceanu's specialized team, this structure creates a robust framework that combines senior partnership insight with dedicated practitioner expertise. Manuela's team benefits from this dual-layer approach, enabling them to leverage both tactical specialization and strategic partnership perspective. This collaborative model ensures that clients receive the full depth of the firm's criminal law capabilities while maintaining the focused attention and specialized knowledge that complex white collar matters demand. The combination of Robert's senior partnership leadership and Manuela's hands-on team management creates an optimal environment for handling sophisticated criminal defence and compliance challenges.’
