Litigation

Tax disputes (including assistance in various administrative procedures)

Our team of lawyers provides legal services to clients in tax matters, starting from the tax inspections conducted by tax, customs, or environmental authorities. Furthermore, because experience has shown us that preparation for a tax audit is essential, we provide our clients with specialized opinions on the tax treatment applicable to the transactions they intend to undertake. In cases where tax authorities issue tax assessment decisions, we are at the disposal of our clients to provide assistance and representation before the tax authorities for challenging the tax assessment decisions, as well as before the national courts of law, if administrative procedures are insufficient to resolve the disputes. Additionally, D&B David şi Baias lawyers have extensive experience in obtaining the annulment of unlawfully initiated forced executions and provide support to clients in all necessary steps during forced execution. Last but not least, when domestic remedies fail to yield the desired results, D&B David şi Baias lawyers do not hesitate to resort to international instruments, specializing in mutual agreement procedure (MAP), procedures before the Court of Justice of the European Union, the European Court of Human Rights, or in arbitrations that also raise tax law issues in front of some arbitral courts (ICC, LCIA, etc.), as well as procedures for the violation of EU law before the European Commission.

Specialized courses for clients

Our extensive experience accumulated over time allows us to prepare clients for any type of audit conducted by tax authorities or other state agencies (tax, customs, environmental, competition, etc.) by organizing specialized courses or customized workshops. Within these activities, clients are trained to anticipate unforeseen situations that may arise during any type of audit and to ensure that authorities apply and interpret legislation or European case law taking into account the specificities and the business profile of each client.

Administrative disputes

D&B David şi Baias is recognized among its clients for the services it provides in the field of administrative litigation. The assistance provided to clients involves challenging both individual administrative acts (decisions, licenses, permits, approvals, etc.) and normative administrative acts (such as ministerial orders, government resolutions, etc.). D&B David şi Baias lawyers are prepared to guide their clients throughout the entire administrative procedure, starting from the pre-litigation phase, often achieving favorable solutions without the intervention of the courts. In situations where challenging the administrative acts issued by authorities is necessary, D&B David şi Baias offers legal services for both the pre-litigation phase, characteristic of administrative disputes, and the judicial phase. Due to the experience gained in various areas of law, our litigating lawyers provide legal services aimed at challenging a wide range of administrative acts issued by any public authority or institution (Court of Accounts, National Broadcasting Council, Financial Supervision Authority, etc.).

Competition disputes

D&B David şi Baias lawyers have successfully assisted clients in national courts in major disputes concerning the challenging of decisions issued by the Competition Council for alleged violations of competition regulations (e.g., market sharing, cartels, abuse of dominant position, etc.). The integrated team of litigating lawyers and lawyers specialized in competition law allows for an unified approach from the beginning of the investigation, providing assistance even in disputes arising during the Competition Council’s investigation, such as appeals against the inspection authorization decision or actions to annul inspection orders issued by the Competition Council.
