Testimonials

“From what I observed Popescu & Asociatii excels in handling complex environmental regulatory matters requiring both deep technical expertise and strategic litigation capabilities.

They are great litigators and the lawyers we work with have demonstrated exceptional ability to navigate this intricate regulatory landscape, especially taking into account the strict EU compliance requirements, particularly in the context of CJEU environmental obligations.

The team effectively managed both the administrative permitting process and subsequent litigation seamlessly, showing strong expertise in government relations and regulatory compliance.

Their lawyers understood the technical complexities of our operations and objectives, enabling them to provide practical, business-focused legal solutions.

We are very satisfied with the quality of work they provide. Honestly, right now, I cannot think of a single aspect that I would change about the quality of their service.”
