Commercial Litigation Lawyer Romania
When a business dispute reaches the point of litigation, speed and strategy matter more than anything else. Unpaid invoices, broken contracts, shareholder deadlocks, disputes with regulators these are situations where the wrong legal decision can cost far more than the original claim.
At Sava Law Firm, we have represented Romanian companies, entrepreneurs and foreign bussineses in commercial litigation before Romanian courts and the Court of International Commercial Arbitration for over 25 years. We do not just tell you what the law says we build a legal strategy around the real objective: protecting your business.

We represent Romanian and international clients in a wide range of commercial disputes, combining legal precision with a practical business focused approach.
Debt Recovery
Outstanding receivables are not just a financial problem — they are a threat to your cash flow and operations. We manage the full recovery process, from formal demand letters to court proceedings and enforcement, with the goal of recovering what you are owed as efficiently as possible.
We act in cases involving:
- unpaid commercial invoices
- unpaid commercial invoices
- advance payments and deposits not returned
- outstanding payments under supply or service contracts
- receivables arising from terminated contracts
Breach of Contract
A contract ignored or deliberately misread by the other party can cause losses far beyond the contract value itself. We represent clients in disputes over the interpretation, performance, or termination of commercial contracts, including claims for damages and penalty clauses.

- non-performance or defective performance of contractual obligations
- wrongful termination of contracts
- recovery of contractual penalties and damages

Corporate & Shareholder Disputes
A dispute between shareholders or company directors can paralyse a business faster than any external threat. We act quickly and discreetly to protect our client's rights, seeking resolution through negotiation where possible and through the courts where necessary.

- decision-making deadlock in company management
- exclusion of a shareholder from a Romanian SRL
- majority shareholder abuse against minority shareholders
- challenging general assembly resolutions
- director liability claims
Administrative & Regulatory Disputes
An unlawful administrative act or an unjustified sanction issued by a public authority does not have to be accepted. We represent companies in challenging decisions issued by ANPC, ANAF, ANSPDCP, and other regulatory bodies before the administrative courts.

- challenging administrative fines and sanctions
- annulment of unlawful administrative acts
- disputes with inspection and control authorities

Judgment Enforcement
Winning in court is only half the battle. If the opposing party refuses to comply with a court judgment, we manage the full enforcement
