🔴We are thrilled to announce another major win for our client S.N.G.N. Romgaz S.A. in a complex administrative dispute concerning the landmark Neptun Deep Project.

🔴This success underscores the strength and strategic acumen of our Energy & Natural Resources, Environment, and Litigation practices. A huge thank you and congratulations to the outstanding team who made this possible: Cleopatra Leahu, Radu Chiran, Gianina Istrate, Daliana Popa, and Elisa Cristea.

🔴The court ruled in our client’s favor by admitting the inadmissibility of the illegality plea of the Environmental Permit for the Zoning Plan and also rejected as ungrounded all other arguments related to the challenged local council decision approving the Zoning Plan for the onshore component of Neptun Deep Project.

🔴The ruling strengthens the legal certainty of investments in the Neptun Deep Project and demonstrates that the procedures followed have fully complied with the applicable legal framework in the fields of urban planning and environmental protection.

Cleopatra Leahu, Deputy Managing Partner Suciu Partners, a acordat un 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐮 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐯 despre tendintele pe piața avocaturii, precum si despre evoluția și planurile de dezvoltare ale firmei.

📢„Cea mai importantă tendință pe piața avocaturii de business este creșterea gradului de complexitate a proiectelor, din cauza cerințelor legislative din ce în ce mai sofisticate și a elementelor transfrontaliere. În același timp, s-a accelerat ritmul în care tranzacțiile trebuie finalizate, iar clienții așteaptă eficiență maximă atât în termeni de costuri, cât și în comunicare.”

🔴„Aceste provocări pot reprezenta veritabile oportunități pentru o firmă alcătuită din avocați cu experiență, însă în același timp deschisă spre noile tehnologii, accesibilă și centrată pe client.”

📈 „Strategia Suciu Partners pentru 2025 este una de consolidare activă și adaptabilitate inteligentă. Ne propunem să transformăm provocările pieței juridice într-un avantaj competitiv."

🔴„Succesul pe termen lung al unei firme depinde de capacitatea de a crea un mediu organizațional stabil, care să reziste presiunilor externe și fluctuațiilor pieței.”
