Gabriel N. Turcu

Turcu & Turcu is a Romanian law firm with more than twenty-five years of expertise drawn from landmark cases and high-profile collaborations. Positioning itself as a strategic partner to its clients rather than simply an adviser, the firm has been named Intellectual Property Law Firm of the Year in Romania at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025. Gabriel N. Turcu serves as its managing partner.

Intellectual property sits at the core of the firm's practice, and it is complemented by closely related fields including commercial and contract law, administrative and regulatory law, competition and antitrust law, and employment law for senior management. The firm is also known for its work in fashion law and maintains a pro bono commitment. This combination allows it to protect and enforce intellectual property rights while addressing the commercial and regulatory questions that surround them.

A defining feature of the firm is its dedication to the fight against counterfeiting, reinforced by its membership of a leading international anti-counterfeiting association. Enforcement of this kind is a demanding discipline, requiring coordinated action across borders to protect brands from infringement and imitation. The firm acts for some of the world's leading multinational companies and handles matters involving regional and European cooperation, underlining the international character of its work.

Its expertise is applied across a striking range of industries in which brand value and innovation are paramount. These include the luxury, automotive, fashion and cosmetics, food and beverage, sports and entertainment, and pharmaceutical sectors — fields in which trademarks, designs and reputation are central commercial assets and where robust protection is a business necessity rather than a mere formality.

The firm's reach extends beyond Romania through offices in the region, with a presence in Bucharest complemented by locations in Sofia, Bulgaria, and Chisinau, Moldova. This regional footprint enables it to serve clients whose intellectual property concerns cross national boundaries, offering coordinated protection and enforcement across neighbouring jurisdictions.

Under the leadership of managing partner Gabriel N. Turcu, and with a team of experienced professionals, Turcu & Turcu combines deep intellectual property knowledge with practical enforcement capability and a strategic, client-focused outlook. Its recognition as Intellectual Property Law Firm of the Year in Romania at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025 affirms the standing it has built protecting the brands, innovations and creative assets of businesses operating in Romania and across the wider region.
