Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘Valentin Berea is an excellent litigator.’
‘Dispute resolution team lawyers are very professional, open and available to provide support.’
‘I would like to recommend Alexandru Stanoiu. He is very professional and serious.’
‘We value greatly the RTPR team as our trusted, longstanding legal advisor. They are definitely trailblazers in competition litigation: always open to innovation in a given case, pursuing any legal avenue, juggling with multiple motions at a time on both merits and procedure, they can be trusted to fight a legal battle as their own.’
‘Talented senior associate Andrada Rusan has an impressive mix of skill and drive - she can be trusted to explore every inch of a case, creatively capitalise every substantive or procedural argument, and litigate a case with tenacity and conviction.’
‘The team is particularly strong in antitrust, IP, tax and regulatory litigation. What makes them special is that the lawyers in the team are well versed both in terms of substantive law and procedural aspects - as opposed to most firms where the substantive analysis of the case is done by a different team and not by the litigators actually presenting the case in court. At RTPR litigation is intertwined with the other practices (IP, antitrust etc.) which means that their litigators master the details of the case better than at other firms.’
‘Valentin Berea is great in the court room, but also a skilled negotiator, so he is also best placed to assist in complicated settlements.'
'Alexandru Stanoiu is an excellent tax and insolvency litigator, with great results and extremely nice to work with. Andrada Rusan is a talented associate on the rise, always thorough and responsive.’
