A selection of relevant mandates includes advising/representing:

A major Romanian bank, in an EUR 300 million regulatory dispute with the Romanian Court of Accounts, before the High Court of Cassation and Justice, concerning the implementation of the Bauspar system in Romania.

A major E.U. naval shipbuilding company before the Romanian Courts in a public procurement dispute aimed at cancelling an EUR 1.26 billion military public procurement contract for the acquisition of corvettes. This mandate is notable not only because of the value of the tender (one of the highest to date), but also because it touches on key matters for the Romanian legal system such as (i) the right to a fair trial vs the Romanian Ministry of National Defence denying access to litigation information through classification (secretisation) of information, or (ii) compliance with the Romanian constitutional order vs the Romanian Government bypassing general tender rules on grounds of national security interests.

A consortium of a technological group specialized in security and mobility and a sole importer of military products in Romania, in an EUR 800 million public procurement dispute aimed at cancelling the award of a military public procurement contract for the acquisition of military trucks for breaches of law. Our role included both legal advice on the venture of the two bidders, as well as litigation and representation in successfully challenging the legality of the tender.

The President of Romania, in relation to an alleged violation of the legal provision regarding compatibility, as well as in relation to the annulment of the Report by which the National Integrity Agency (ANI) determined that the President violated the laws regarding the avoidance of the conflict of interests.
