Law Firm Overview Free Consultation

Mararu & Mararu is a top specialty Romanian law firm with a distinguished national and international legal practice in civil, international private & public law, corporate & commercial, white collar, IP, technology and telecom law, as well as business, civil and criminal litigation.

For more than 11 years, we have dedicated ourselves to a quality endorsed successful legal practice, continuous legal training and risk management for start-up, medium or multinational private or public corporations in various industries including information technology and telecommunications, financial services, online gaming and betting, equity and securities, pharmaceuticals, renewable energy or consumer products, as well as for nationwide employers confederations, industry & business associations and private clients.

Our high service level agreement is rendered by our unified approach: cutting-edge legal knowledge, proactive support, legal intelligence, success-driven legal representation, availability in client service at senior partner level and quantifiable results, at the expense of the short-term profit. In fewer words, long-term excellence.
