Firm overview

MILCEV BURBEA is a team of highly qualified attorneys, resulting from the partnership of two dynamic lawyers, with a strong work ethic and deep knowledge of the Romanian legal system and jurisprudence.

We believe that our advice can and should add real value to clients. So we draw on our intellectual capabilities to conduct thorough research and to provide comprehensive analyses of all the legal issues our clients encounter, offering optimal solutions, on time and efficiently.

The strategic combination of legal, practical and communication skills we offer, results in the highest quality advice, helping our clients succeed.

We believe that what distinguishes us is our approach that treats the clients’ needs as our own and our relationship as a long-term partnership. This manner of work has brought us a deep knowledge of various industries, such as consumer goods, logistics, IT, telecommunications, media and entertainment and a variety of local and international clients that we are proud of.

The firm’s culture is that a case is usually handled by strong teams of 2 to 4 people, depending on the complexity therein, each member being able to provide different experience and ideas so that the chosen strategy and approach and final documents resulted are the most benefit for the Client.

ESG and diversity achievements

Asociatia Telefonul Copilului (Child’s Telephone Association, NGO): We provided the Client with representation before the Ro PTO in order to register the national trademark "Telefonul Copilului" and in front of the public authorities in order to resolve some disputes. About 30 hours with reduced fees were allocated for this project, delivered by Ioana Balaceanu – Associate, under the guidance of Gabriela Milcev – Partner.

ARNIS (Romanian Association of Long Hospitalised Newborns, NGO): We helped the Client in the development of a project that consisted of the creation of an online platform for the digitisation of communication between the parties involved in the care of the newborn in a maternity hospital: parents/legal representatives - medical staff - ARNIS (as a patient association). For example, we drafted the terms and conditions for the site, studied and drafted a legislative report necessary for the implementation of the project and drafted the procedure that the medical staff must go through, a document necessary for signing the collaboration contract with the hospital in whose neonatology department the project was to be implemented. The assistance was provided by Veronica Floroiu – Managing Associate, with the support of Gabriela Umbrarescu – Junior Lawyer. A number of approximately 25 hours were provided on a reduced-fee basis.

Asociatia De-a arhitectura (NGO): the Client is an association whose objectives include the promotion of architecture education and the built environment for children in schools, teachers and among the architects' guild. In the last year, we provided advice to the Client by drafting the terms and conditions for the website. This activity involved the allocation of a number of 20 hours by Ioana Balaceanu – Associate, under the coordination of Iulia Burbea – Partner, for a reduced fee.

Testimonials

2026

"What stands out is their ability to quickly understand complex technical matters and translate them into clear legal strategies. They are very pragmatic and focused on outcomes rather than theory. The team is responsive and provides well-structured arguments, especially in matters involving software and data-driven systems."

"They are very structured and detail-oriented in handling filings and administrative aspects. Communication is clear and timelines are well managed. What we particularly appreciate is that they do not treat filings as a purely formal exercise, but consider the broader strategy and future use of the IP."

"Their advisory work is very strong, especially in areas involving software, AI and SaaS models. They have a rare ability to understand both the legal and technical sides, which makes their advice highly practical. They helped us structure ownership and licensing in a way that protects long-term value, not just immediate contractual needs. Compared to other firms we have worked with, their advice is more business-oriented and forward-looking."

"The team is professional, responsive, and highly knowledgeable, consistently delivering high-quality services."
