We use non-personally identifiable data to analyze website usage (such as aggregated information on the pages visited by our users), which allows us to improve the design and content of our website. In using the non-personally identifiable data, we don not draw any conclusion about the visitors of our website.

  • Consent.

Below, you may find a non-exhaustive list of purposes for which we process your data, under each legitimate reason.

​

Legal obligation

​

In some cases, we need to process data to ensure that we are complying with our legal obligations. For example, we need to keep records of our mandates and clients in accordance with the prerequisites of the legal profession in Romania. Statutory reporting requirements are included within this section. As is disclosing information to third parties such as the courts or the police where we are legally obliged to do so.

​
