Civil Law

In the vast field of civil law, our lawyers are recognized for the tangible impact they achieve in disputes arising from the conclusion and performance of contracts, in litigation concerning compensation for moral or material damage resulting from tort liability, in disputes regarding the termination of co-ownership, and in representing our clients’ interests in succession matters.

We are recognized for successfully representing numerous clients whose public image had been damaged by disparaging press materials, defamatory articles, or hostile social media campaigns.

Our lawyers are recognized for their practice in litigation concerning the restitution of property rights over real estate abusively seized during the communist regime. They have successfully pursued claims—including before the European Court of Human Rights—regarding the methods used to determine the compensation owed to the former owners of such properties. Notably, lawyer Celestina Cobzaru was personally a claimant in one of the cases joined and adjudicated by the Court in the landmark “Văleanu and Others v. Romania” case; in that context, she successfully argued that the compensation awarded by national courts for properties abusively seized during the communist era was 4.5 times lower than the value established by expert valuations.

In the realm of property recovery claims, the work undertaken by the lawyers of the associated law offices is extensive; their most significant achievement involves securing—on a final basis, for the Romanian State—ownership rights over a forest area exceeding 13,000 hectares that had been unjustly claimed.

Likewise, our lawyers possess extensive practical experience in partition litigation, securing the allocation of indivisible assets in kind to our clients, alongside the payment of equalization sums at highly favorable values.

Our lawyers have also successfully represented clients who had received donations in proceedings concerning the revocation of those donations.

Our team of lawyers provides legal assistance in proceedings for the enforcement of court judgments or other enforceable titles. We also have a proven track record of successfully pursuing appeals against execution in cases involving enforcement procedures against the debtor.

A significant area of practice for our lawyers involves medical malpractice litigation. The lawyers within the associated law offices have successfully represented both medical specialists facing civil liability claims regarding medical procedures they performed, and patients who suffered medical or aesthetic harm as a result of medical interventions.
