At individual level, Ana-Maria Baciu, Managing Partner of the firm won the Practitioner of the Year in Romania award. Ana-Maria is the first Romanian lawyer awarded this distinction for the first time in 2023, subsequently reconfirmed by the 2024 edition of the programe. This recognition is given to professionals that are highly regarded in their respective jurisdictions for their activity in the intellectual property field. Ana-Maria has been singled out from a group of 11 professionals shortlisted for Romania.
The highly reputable awards programe run by Managing IP is one of the premier annual events for firms and professionals active in the intellectual property field worldwide.
Now in their 19th year, the awards are presented to firms, individuals, and companies “behind the most innovative and challenging IP work of the past year, as well as those driving the international IP market” and cover over 50 jurisdictions, worldwide. Being the winner of three out of four distinctions awarded for Romania represents a powerful independent acknowledgement of our firm’s strong position among the leading domestic firms and our team’s all-encompassing expertise across the full spectrum of the intellectual property practice area.
Present at the 2024 Managing IP EMEA Awards ceremony, Ana-Maria Baciu stated:

With each project we are engaged in, we employ knowledge and experience, with courage and excitement.

I am equally excited by my recognition as Practitioner of the Year in Romania for the second consecutive year.

My vision for us, as individuals and as a team, is to constantly improve and evolve to serve our clients and partners in an increasingly relevant manner, quicker, and smarter.”
