Oana Voda, senior counsel and Head of the Public Procurement practice in Bucharest, led the team with support from Andrei Orbesteanu, senior associate within the Litigation practice.

“We salute the decision rendered by the Court of Appeal, which brings clarity on highly disputed aspects in the public procurement arena and also ensures much needed alignment with the case law issued by the national Council for Solving Complaints”, commented Oana Voda.
