Timisoara, 7 July 2025 - Baldi & Partners (baldiandpartners.it), a multidisciplinary law, financial, tax and consulting firm based in Italy, and Hategan Attorneys (hategan.ro), one of Romania’s most respected law firms, announce the setting up of a strategic and innovative partnership. This collaboration is designed to support the international growth of clients not only in Romania and Italy, but also across emerging markets in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), offering integrated legal and business advisory services tailored to a rapidly evolving regional landscape.
This initiative comes as a response to growing cross-border investment and to broadering the shift of legal and consulting services delivered in the CEE region. Companies increasingly demand seamless, cross-jurisdictional support that blends legal, tax, and strategic advisory into a single, responsive interface. The complexity of navigating local and European regulations—especially in a post-pandemic, digitally transforming Europe—requires a new level of coordination and regional intelligence.
It is also the first partnership of its kind between two prominent corporate law firms from Romania and Italy, marking a natural evolution in an increasingly interconnected regional economic context.
Francesca Baldi, President of Baldi & Partners, adds: "We see significant potential in this strategic alliance. Italy remains one of Romania's most important business partners, and our collaborative model will allow clients to benefit from local expertise in both jurisdictions with a single communication interface."
"This partnership responds to a real need identified in the market: Italian companies investing in Romania and Romanian firms expanding in Italy need seamless legal and tax assistance, without communication barriers between consultants," says Ioana Hategan, Managing Partner at Hategan Attorneys.
The partnership will offer integrated services in areas such as M&A process, international contracts, compliance, ESG, AI and GDPR regulation, litigation, tax assessment, and targeting companies in industries such as manufacturing, mechanical, biomedical, automotive, food and fashion.
