As the European Union and Romania transition into the final quarter of 2026, August has introduced critical regulatory milestones that redefine compliance and strategic planning.

🚀We are very proud to announce a sweeping victory on behalf of one of the main infrastructure contractors in Romania in a complex multi-million EUR dispute against CNAIR stemming from a construction public procurement contract.
Our team successfully represented the client in an intricate international arbitration case concerning the adjustment mechanism related to major road infrastructure works, bringing together complex commercial, technical and legal issues in the context of our client’s fundamental right to fair compensation.
Following an intense 2 years process, the Arbitral Tribunal issued its final award ruling in favor of our client on all counts and all claims. The Tribunal decisively validated our client's position and awarded not only the outstanding principal amount but also material delay penalties and further damages to cover monetary devaluation. Full recovery of arbitration costs and legal fees was also secured.
This landmark win reinforces the critical importance of adhering to FIDIC adjustment mechanisms and ensures that contractors are fairly compensated in unpredictable economic climates.
👏A huge congratulations to our dedicated Infrastructure and Arbitration teams led by Miruna Suciu and Cleopatra Leahu as well as to Radu Petroi for their strategic vision and relentless effort!
