Representation before all Romanian courts, including the Constitutional Court, ECHR, and CJEU. Solid litigation strategies, transparent communication, concrete results.
Litigation is sometimes inevitable — but it does not have to be unpredictable. My approach combines rigorous case preparation with a clear procedural strategy, tailored to the specifics of each case and the client's concrete objectives.
I have experience before all Romanian courts — from district courts and tribunals to courts of appeal and the High Court of Cassation and Justice. For cases with a European dimension, I provide representation at the ECHR and CJEU.
When a client's fundamental rights have been violated and domestic remedies have been exhausted, the European Court of Human Rights remains an essential instrument. At the CJEU, I provide representation on European law matters, including within preliminary reference proceedings.
These proceedings require specific preparation and a thorough understanding of European case law — areas in which I have direct experience.
Before going to court, I explore all alternatives — direct negotiation, mediation, settlement. I am an advocate for amicable solutions when they serve the client's best interest.
When litigation is inevitable, I build the strategy based on the available evidence, relevant case law, and a realistic assessment of the chances. I do not promise what I cannot deliver — but what I promise, I deliver with dedication and rigour.
Transparent communication is my priority: the client always knows where the case stands, what the next steps are, and what to expect.
The duration varies significantly depending on complexity and court. A simple commercial dispute may take 6-12 months at first instance. Complex cases with multiple appeals can take 2-4 years. A realistic assessment of timelines is part of the initial consultation.
There are several alternatives: direct negotiation, mediation (mandatory in certain categories of cases), conciliation, and arbitration. These methods are often faster, less costly, and allow the preservation of commercial relationships. I always recommend exploring them before litigation.
Yes. The ordinary remedies are appeal and cassation appeal (recurs), each with specific deadlines and conditions. There are also extraordinary remedies — annulment challenge and revision — for exceptional situations. Deadlines are strict, usually 30 days for appeal and cassation appeal.
The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) can be petitioned after all domestic remedies have been exhausted, if it is considered that the Romanian state has violated the rights guaranteed by the European Convention. The application must be filed within 4 months of the final domestic decision.
Costs include the judicial stamp duty (variable depending on the subject of the claim), attorney fees, possible expert fees, and travel expenses. I provide a transparent estimate of anticipated costs from the case evaluation phase.
Yes. I provide representation at the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) for fundamental rights violations and at the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) for European law matters, including preliminary references.
