NNDKP obtains the dismissal of a claim for damages of over 62 million lei on behalf of Rompetrol Downstream

NNDKP successfully represented Rompetrol Downstream Srl (Rompetrol) in the case filed by the former Regie Autonomă de Transport București (RATB), as purchaser, who invoked the inadequate performance of contractual obligations.

The NNDKP team that provided legal assistance and representation to Rompetrol was comprised of Peggy Șuică-Neagu, Partner in the Dispute Resolution practice, together with Adriana Gaspar, Senior Partner and co-head of the Public Procurement/PPP practice.

“We are excited to have represented Rompetrol in such a complex case. This is another example that shows that NNDKP has specialists that can efficiently promote and defend the clients’ interests in court on issues that are increasingly diverse and sophisticated”, declared Peggy Șuică-Neagu, Partner.

“This case represented a true test of our limits in every way and we proved, once again, that, with its legal skills and expertise, NNDKP can steer a case away from misleading legal paths and dead ends. An enormous human and professional gain was the collaboration with the Rompetrol team, which was exceptional in terms of the value of ideas, effort and efficiency in the structuring, pleading and winning of the case”, added Adriana Gaspar, Senior Partner.
