Client Satisfaction

Boutique firm GNP Guia Naghi & Partners counts competition law as its core pillar of strength; clients praise the firm's 'exceptional expertise and remarkable dedication in handling competition-related matters'. The team is often instructed in Romanian Competition Council (RCC) investigations and sector inquiries, and continues to advise on a number of high-profile merger filings and compliance matters. Managing partner Manuela Guia is well versed in assisting multi-national clients and Romanian businesses on high profile investigations; she co-heads the practice with Otilia Vilcu, a key name for state aid work. The duo are ably supported by Patricia Avramescu.
