Articles & Case Studies

A Romanian citizen married abroad, mother of two children born outside the country, needed the family's civil status registered in Romania. We coordinated three interdependent transcriptions in the right order, and both children received Romanian passports.

A company paid half the fine within 48 hours, but into the local council's account instead of the state budget. The tax authority enforced the full amount and the first court dismissed the challenge. On appeal we had every enforcement act annulled, enforcement reversed and costs awarded against the authority.

A citizen of a foreign state acquired Romanian citizenship by descent under article 11 of Law no. 21/1991. Until the birth certificate is transcribed into the Romanian registers, that citizenship has no practical effect. We prepared the full file and the transcription was completed within the 30-day statutory deadline.

A Romanian citizen living abroad for decades had changed her forename administratively and married there, with neither event recorded in the Romanian registers. We obtained the forename annotation and the marriage transcription within 30 days, and she received her Romanian passport.

A RON 2,500 loan from a non-bank lender turned into enforcement for RON 5,655, carrying default interest of 1% per day. We obtained a declaration that the default interest clause and the file-analysis fee were void, together with partial annulment of the enforcement acts.

Our client worked remotely for a Romanian employer and paid all her contributions here, but lived with her family in Belgium. The authority stalled the file over its cross-border element. We showed Romania was the competent state and the allowance was granted.

The client wanted to start the process for Romanian citizenship but did not know where his ancestors were born and had none of their records. We traced the documents through the competent authorities, and the analysis showed the route was transcription, not reacquisition.

Our client had received three successive refusals of a long-stay family reunification visa. An earlier court win did not help, because the visa issued had expired by the time he reached the border. We challenged the last refusal administratively and the visa was granted in under two months.

The father ordered to pay maintenance did not pay, and enforcement revealed he had disposed of his assets. The criminal complaint was dismissed as out of time. We challenged that decision, and the Timisoara Court of Appeal set the dismissal aside and sent the file back to the prosecutor.

Our client received a five-year ban on entering Romania, issued during a criminal investigation and without any final judgment. The ban also blocked his visa applications in other European states. The court annulled the decision and he can travel again.

The Timisoara Court of Appeal replaced a deferred sentence with 1 year and 2 months of immediate imprisonment, even though the prosecution had appealed in the defendant's favour. We filed a cassation appeal, the High Court quashed the decision, annulled the warrant, and our client was released at once.

Between November and December 2025 we recovered over EUR 150,000 for clients with unpaid invoices from Romanian companies. The result came from a mix of negotiation, protective measures and judgments obtained in Bucharest, Timisoara and Oradea.
