The EU and competition law practice at Tuca Zbârcea & Asociatii works in tandem with the firm’s dispute resolution team to assist clients with a broad spectrum of contentious matters. Key areas of instruction include investigations into a range of sectors and litigation brought against the Competition Council relating to decisions and imposed fines. On the non-contentious side, the team provides day-to-day advice on competition and antitrust law. Merger clearance matters are another key area of expertise. The 'outstanding' Andreea Oprișan co-heads the practice with Raluca Vasilache, who has extensive experience in the EU and competition space.
