The law firms Crâznic & Associates (Romania) and Efrim, Roșca și Asociații (ERA) (Republic of Moldova) have signed a strategic cross-border partnership to integrate legal assistance services provided to corporations, financial institutions, and private clients across both jurisdictions.

Supported by the extensive experience of the firms’ founders—Mr. Flavius Crâznic and Mr. Vladislav Roșca—in business law, international cooperation, and complex litigation, this partnership establishes a unique Bucharest-Chișinău legal platform tailored to the region’s increasingly complex regulatory landscape.

- Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) and Corporate Law
- White-Collar Crime and Corporate Investigations
- Corporate Compliance and Regulatory Affairs
- High-Stakes Commercial Litigation
Flavius Crâznic, Managing Partner of Crâznic & Associates , stated: “This alliance represents a natural evolution in our development strategy. Integrating Mr. Titus Corlățean’s vast expertise in international cooperation and European affairs with the outstanding business and litigation profile of Mr. Oleg Efrim and Mr. Vladislav Roșca’s team gives us a unique capability to deliver. Our institutional clients will find that this Bucharest-Chișinău legal corridor offers a single, unified team capable of managing multidimensional risks.”
Oleg Efrim, Managing Partner of Efrim, Roșca și Asociații, added: “In a period when companies in both the Republic of Moldova and Romania are expanding their mutual operations and navigating complex processes of legislative transformation, the synergy between our firms becomes a crucial competitive advantage.
