RMDT has consistently provided high-quality legal services to individuals, small and medium-sized enterprises, and large corporations, delivering tailored and effective solutions based on carefully designed litigation strategies. The firm’s experienced litigators adopt a pragmatic and results-oriented approach, with a clear focus on safeguarding clients’ legal and economic interests.
RMDT’s dispute resolution expertise spans a wide range of practice areas, including restitution claims, complex commercial disputes, insolvency and bankruptcy proceedings, administrative and fiscal litigation, as well as intellectual property and employment-related disputes. Our lawyers regularly represent clients before all levels of Romanian courts and administrative authorities, combining procedural rigor with a deep understanding of the substantive legal issues involved.
RMDT has developed particular expertise in private international law, advising and representing clients in disputes involving foreign elements, including jurisdictional conflicts, applicable law issues, and the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments and arbitral awards. A significant component of this practice concerns cross-border disputes relating to immovable property, including cases involving assets classified as or connected to cultural heritage, where domestic property law intersects with international private law rules and historical restitution frameworks.
The firm’s litigation team also provides global assistance and representation in arbitral proceedings, acting before both Romanian and international arbitral institutions. RMDT advises clients throughout all stages of arbitration, from the drafting and enforcement of arbitration agreements to the conduct of arbitral proceedings and post-award remedies. Our lawyers have developed expertise in matters governed by the New York Convention, including the recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards in Romania, as well as related annulment and enforcement proceedings.
In response to increasing client demand, RMDT has developed specialized internal practice groups, including a dedicated criminal law practice and a specialized administrative and fiscal litigation team. These practices require advanced knowledge of economic law, regulatory frameworks, and complex transactional structures, areas in which RMDT has built substantial experience.
Given the growing volume and complexity of restitution-related litigation, RMDT has also established a specialized practice team focusing on property restitution. The firm’s clients include successors of historically significant figures of the Romanian industrial sector, including the heirs of Max Ausnit and Nicolae Malaxa.
Notable restitution matters handled by RMDT include assisting the heirs of Max Ausnit and Nicolae Malaxa in obtaining restitution by equivalent of shares held in various companies, with claims amounting to hundreds of millions of euros, as well as representing clients in proceedings concerning the restitution of immovable property located in Bucharest and other regions of Romania.
