Filip & Company

A selection of the biggest employers in Romania; international clients; Romanian entrepreneurs; and a number of the country’s public institutions are among the clients of Filip & Company's labour and employment offering. The firm remains a strong choice across the spectrum of advisory issues, as well as having a robust track record in labour law litigation. Leadership of the department is shared between Cristina Tudoran, who excels in contentious labour matters and restructurings; and commercial law expert Ioan Dumitrascu, an experienced name in collective negotiations. Razvan Ionescu adds further expertise in labour litigation, and at a more junior level, Bianca Chera and Alexandru Moraru are additional names to note.
