Core practice area
Legal audits, employment contracts, restructuring, disciplinary procedures, dismissals, and collective bargaining. Prevention and solutions for healthy employment relationships.
Employment law is one of the most dynamic legal fields in Romania. Legislation changes frequently, and procedural mistakes can be costly. My approach focuses on prevention — the correct structuring of documentation and internal processes, so that disputes are avoided, not just won.
I work primarily with employers — from start-up companies to organisations with hundreds of employees — to build compliant, clear, and equitable employment relationships.
A legal audit of employment documentation is the most efficient investment an employer can make. I systematically review contracts, regulations, job descriptions, and internal procedures, identify risks, and propose concrete solutions with deadlines and priorities.
It is a particularly valuable tool in the context of Labour Inspectorate inspections, acquisitions, or organisational changes.
The dismissal procedure in Romania is rigorously regulated. A dismissal decision that does not comply with all legal steps may be annulled, with significant financial consequences for the employer. I assist in preparing and implementing individual and collective dismissal procedures, ensuring compliance with the Labour Code and special legislation.
A legal audit verifies the compliance of all employment documentation — individual contracts, internal regulations, job descriptions, decisions — with the legislation in force. It identifies risks and proposes solutions before they become real problems.
The procedure depends on the reason for dismissal — disciplinary, position elimination, or professional incompetence. Each type has mandatory steps: disciplinary investigation, notice period, reasoned decision. Failure to follow the procedure may lead to the annulment of the decision and the reinstatement of the employee.
I primarily assist employers in structuring employment relationships and preventing litigation. However, depending on the specifics of the case, I can also advise employees, especially in situations involving wrongful dismissal or workplace harassment.
Restructuring involves the effective elimination of positions, compliance with selection criteria, providing notice, and — in the case of collective dismissals — consultations with trade unions or employee representatives and notification of the Labour Inspectorate.
Beyond the mandatory clauses required by the Labour Code, a well-drafted contract includes confidentiality clauses, non-compete clauses (where applicable), clear performance objectives, and dispute resolution mechanisms. Flexibility and clarity are essential.
Yes. I assist employers throughout the collective bargaining process — from preparing the negotiation platform to participating in sessions and drafting the collective labour agreement.
