ZRVP celebrates three decades of legal excellence in 2025

The year 2025 marks a double anniversary for the Romanian legal market: 30 years of activity for ZRVP and 30 years since the adoption of Law No. 51/1995 on the organization and practice of the legal profession, which laid the foundations of modern law practice in Romania.

In a dynamic legal market shaped over the years by change and increasingly sophisticated competition, ZRVP remains one of the few Romanian law firms that has evolved organically, maintaining the same professional philosophy based on legal excellence, stability, and respect for the profession. ZRVP is also the only Romanian law firm established through a merger and later strengthened through a second one.

Last week, ZRVP marked its 30th anniversary with a special event in Bucharest, attended by over 150 clients, collaborators, and former and current team members.

Cosmin Vasile, Managing Partner of ZRVP, stated:

„The year 2025 is undoubtedly a special one – for the entire legal profession and for us at ZRVP. Thirty years have passed since the birth of modern law practice in Romania and, at the same time, since the beginning of ZRVP’s story. In 2025, we find ourselves in the same privileged position as always – able to provide exceptional legal services, as we have throughout our journey, while remaining fully aligned with the realities of today’s legal services market.

We have grown organically, built carefully and without shortcuts, and arrived here because we have remained faithful to the profession and its values. After 30 years, our primary goals remain the same: legal perfection and the continuous development of lawyers who share our passion, values, and vision.”

To mark the anniversary, ZRVP is launching the campaign “30 Years, 30 Stories”, a collection of 30 video testimonials in which the firm’s clients and collaborators share their thoughts and experiences about ZRVP’s evolution.

The first message, released today, features Mr. Marian Năstase, Chairman of the Board of Directors at Alro S.A., one of the firm’s oldest clients, with a collaboration spanning over 25 years – a relationship that stands as proof of the firm’s consistent quality of service and its ability to build strong, long-lasting partnerships. The video testimonials will be published weekly on the firm’s YouTube, LinkedIn, and Facebook pages.

With a team of over 100 professionals, ZRVP provides legal assistance and representation across more than 20 practice areas, with the expertise and resources needed to handle any type of mandate, in any industry, within the full spectrum of business law.

ZRVP has been involved in high-profile projects for multinational and national companies, state institutions, authorities, and individuals, handling billion-euro mandates across various areas of practice. The firm is internationally recognized for its expertise in litigation and arbitration, insolvency, business consultancy, banking and finance, employment, competition law, white-collar crime, energy and natural resources, and administrative litigation.

From assisting the European Commission in the landmark project for the privatization of Romania’s first 80 state-owned companies, to managing unprecedented arbitration cases and providing pro bono legal assistance in the Colectiv case, ZRVP teams have consistently demonstrated an outstanding ability to navigate the complexity and diversity of legal challenges.

The firm’s remarkable results and consistent performance have been acknowledged year after year by the leading international legal directories and publications – Chambers and Partners, The Legal 500 EMEA, Global Arbitration Review, The Lawyer European Awards, MIP Awards, Benchmark Litigation Europe, Lexology Index, Best Lawyers, WTR 1000, IAM Patent, and IP Stars – which consistently rank ZRVP among the top law firms in Romania across multiple practice areas.
