Dispute Resolution

Our Dispute Resolution practice has earned a reputation for providing remarkable services and delivering outstanding results. With more experienced litigation lawyers than any other firm in Romania, we efficiently help our clients resolve their business disputes. Our lawyers have a vast range of advocacy experience before the Romanian courts, as well as before domestic and international arbitration and constitutional courts.

With a highly experienced team, our Dispute Resolution group handles an extensive range of civil, intellectual property, commercial, labor, administrative and fiscal disputes. Our team provides practical solutions to all clients when a conflict arises in their day to day activities. The legal assistance provided to the clients always takes into account the case law of the Romanian courts, as well as the case law developed by the European Court of Justice and by the European Court of Human Rights.

Our Dispute Resolution practice has a solid reputation for succeeding in the most complex and sensitive litigations involving multiple cases and parties and has the resources and expertise to efficiently handle hundreds of cases yearly.

We also understand that going to trial is not necessarily in the best interest of our clients. Therefore, we always work closely with in-house counsel to develop the appropriate strategy and ensure that any potential amicable settlement advantageous to the client is reached or, alternatively, to ensure the most cost-effective and efficient litigation model suitable to the client’s needs.

We handle complex issues pertaining to property law, commercial relationships, products liability, construction and engineering, environmental law, planning and regulatory, intellectual property and information technology, competition and antitrust, public acquisition procedures, insolvency and bankruptcy.

Simona Neagu, Emil Bivolaru, Sorina Olaru (Cretu) and Radu Damaschin, litigators with over eleven years of experience in dispute resolution, are also partners within this practice.

[...] 'Very high technical quality and professional standards, as well as good response times. Its place in the rankings is justified.'"

The European Legal 500 (2012 edition) says about the team: "NNDKP is 'extremely professional and responsive,' and 'understands the need to give punctual advice and to report back to the client on a regular basis.'"
