‘Speed of problem solving and efficiency, offering multiple solutions to problems. Lidia Duțu has outstanding activity and collaboration with our entity, as well as with Tudor Nedelea.’

‘What makes this practice stand out is the ability to handle complex tax issues, tailored to clients’ business models, coupled with industry-specific knowledge. They are well-positioned to offer strategic advice, considering their client-centric approach and with cross-disciplinary collaboration with other firm departments, e.g., pharma and litigation. They also regularly provide tax-specific insights as soon as relevant developments in the tax environment emerge.’

‘We value the team’s less hierarchical approach, which allows senior members to stay actively involved and have a hands-on, business-minded orientation. We value senior team members’ strategic thinking and client-oriented approach, as well as their ability to navigate the continuously changing local and international tax environment, all coupled with proactive communication. Răzvan Graure has a clear strategic vision when approaching tax problems. Roxana Bujoreanu delivers solutions precisely tailored to our needs.‘

‚The tax team works with structure and strong discipline. They handle complex rules and make them easy for clients to understand. They stay focused on the main issues and avoid confusion.

‚Tax advice influences every deal, every audit, and every restructuring. You need clarity, accuracy, and practical solutions. This team provides that. They review the facts, identify the risks, and explain the tax consequences in simple terms. They look at the situation from all angles and coordinate with the employment, corporate, and disputes teams. This creates consistent and safe advice. They also understand how inspectors think and how audits unfold. Their guidance helps prepare documentation properly and avoid future penalties.‘

‚Over the last years the tax litigation practice built a strong track record of handling highly complex disputes for us, most notably a landmark VAT case in front of both the European Court of Justice and the national courts, where they obtained a precedent-setting judgment but also the recovery of significant amounts paid by us. I would say that they are a young, highly motivated team with the ability to deliver clear and pragmatic solutions. We understand that tax disputes can weigh heavily on business operations, so we place a premium on responsiveness, clarity, and results-oriented strategies. Another differentiator is their collaboration with Deloitte’s wider tax and advisory teams, which allows us to combine legal advocacy with deep sector and technical tax expertise.‘

‚The lawyers stand out for their combination of technical knowledge, honesty, and commitment to long-term client success. They understand when to take bold positions and when to recommend pragmatic compromise. Among them, Emanuel Bondalici deserves mention. He has handled all of our tax controversy cases with exceptional confidence and professionalism. Emanuel’s approach is marked by honesty and does not shy away from giving realistic assessments, even when the message is difficult. This integrity has built trust with us. Importantly, his focus is always on sustainable, long-term outcomes rather than short-term appearances.‘

His advice is clear and prompt, and we appreciate working with him on our cases as he provides the level of comfort that we need when making our business decisions.’

‘Ionuț Bohâlțeanu coordinates a team with good knowledge and experience, in addition to proficiency and excellent feedback.’

‚We primarily work with the team on corporate tax structuring matters; however, their tax knowledge has also been helpful in our M&A transactions and in structuring employment benefits, such as Stock Option Plans. I think that what sets this team apart is the ability of the corporate lawyers to advise on tax matters on the fly, something that we have not seen elsewhere, not even in the large consultancy firms. This means we can spot tax issues that affect our negotiation position early on, without having to ask tax advisors. This approach provides significant time saving and eliminates friction early on.‘

‚Within a short period of time, the engagement team understood the essence of the matter and probed with in-depth questions. We felt they stayed very connected with us and adapted to the urgency of the issue, although it was summer vacation.‘

‚Anca Grigorescu is amazing at combining her market-leading employment expertise with the relevant taxation aspects of employment. Iulia Dragomir and Anamaria Rotariu are our go-to persons for anything concerning corporate taxation and employee stock option plans.‘

‚I had the pleasure of working on a significant project with Kinstellar’s Tax department, specifically with Theodor Artenie, and I was delighted—great professionals, strong know-how, and strong recommendations. I also like their participation in public debates on new tax changes expected in the country. We can count on their suggestions.’

‘Kinstellar impresses with its timely information on changes in tax law. In my opinion, the entire team seems to be very well coordinated, and client files are well managed.’

‘One of the qualities I particularly value in the team is their proactive approach. The tax landscape is complex and constantly evolving, and the team at Laurentiu, Laurentiu & Asociații is always ahead of the curve, keeping clients informed of potential changes in tax regulations and advising on how to adjust their strategies accordingly. This forward-thinking approach provides peace of mind and ensures clients are always prepared for the future.’

‘After working with this team on a multitude of projects, I can’t say enough about their exceptional handling of tax law. Their quick responses to our inquiries, their balance of commercial insight with a keen sense of risk, and their creative yet meticulous approach have all been incredibly relevant to us. Whether dealing with our hospitality business or managing the complexities of grants, their deep legal knowledge and international outlook have consistently provided us with excellent guidance. I fully recommend them as an intelligent, proficient, and reliable team.’
