Firm Overview:

Suciu Popa was founded in 2016 by a team of recognized legal experts sharing a common professional ethos: commitment to providing high value for clients through deep understanding of their legal needs, solid partner involvement, and efficiency. The team draws on the strong reputation of its partners, built over 25 years of representing blue-chip clients including major strategic investors, investment funds, foreign corporations, public authorities, and international financial institutions in some of the largest, complex cross-border transactions, milestone investment projects, and dispute resolution cases.

Suciu Popa’s approach to legal work and focus on client needs stem from our distinctive feature: we maintain a ratio of associates to partners significantly below that of other firms. By leveraging cross-practice experience and staffing matters at the optimum level designed to meet clients' needs, Suciu Popa manages to consistently deliver superior legal services while being cost-effective.

The firm has swiftly confirmed its position as a top-tier legal services provider on the Romanian market, being highly ranked by international legal directories such as Legal 500 EMEA, IFLR 1000, Chambers & Partners, as well as by Global Arbitration Review 100 and Who’s Who Legal: Arbitration.

The team frequently collaborates with international law firms in large cross-border transactions, based on the lawyers' skills and insights developed by representing clients in virtually all capacities. Suciu Popa combines smooth and efficient legal support, being asked to create tailor-made business models, processes, and investment structures.

Main Areas of Practice:

Energy & Natural Resources:

Suciu Popa assists clients in transactional, regulatory, and litigation matters including renewables, oil & gas, utilities, and energy trading. Our philosophy is that the legal team should understand the industry and not simply the law relevant to it, which allows us to take a commercial approach, to identify risk, and to provide clear and relevant advice.
