Stratulat Albulescu

What Stratulat Albulescu does

Stratulat Albulescu (SAA) is a Bucharest-headquartered Romanian independent law firm (Societatea Civilă de Avocați) founded in 1999 by Silviu Stratulat and Andrei Albulescu. The firm operates from the One Herastrau Office building in Bucharest and employs 50+ lawyers across a partnership of approximately a dozen equity holders. Its service portfolio spans 11 practice areas, including Banking & Finance, Competition/FDI/State Aid, Corporate & Commercial, Dispute Resolution, Employment, Intellectual Property, M&A, Privacy & Cyber Security, Projects & Energy, Public Procurement, and Real Estate.

The firm serves a mix of Romanian corporates, EU institutional clients (European Investment Bank), multinational corporates (OMV Petrom, Renault/Dacia, Liberty Global/UPC, Societe Generale, Medicana), and pan-European PE/VC funds (Catalyst Romania, GapMinder, 3VC). Sectors covered include TMT, automotive, financial services, real estate, energy, healthcare, and retail. Visible mandate scale includes the EUR 104 million EIB financing to Maspex Romania and the EUR 21 million Day Tower acquisition, alongside recurring sponsor-side fund formation work.

The business model is conventional for a mid-tier commercial law firm: project-based hourly and fixed-fee advisory billed through a partner-led, tiered associate structure, with revenue driven by transactional mandates (M&A, financing, fund formation), regulatory advisory (FDI screening, competition, privacy), and contentious work. Recognition in Chambers Europe/Global, Legal 500, and IFLR1000 directories (2020-2022) supports client acquisition, and the firm cites 500+ matters handled and a 98% success rate. No financial results, revenue, or headcount growth figures are publicly disclosed, and there is no indication of a partnership equity event, outside investment, or M&A involving the firm.

Direct peers

• RTPR (Racolta, Zamfirescu, Toncescu, Purda & Radu): Leading Romanian full-service law firm headquartered in Bucharest with comparable practice breadth (M&A, banking & finance, real estate, competition). Directly competes for the same corporate and PE/VC mandates and is the firm from which SAA's new Head of Banking & Finance, Andreea Nedeloiu, was hired.
• Peli Partners: Bucharest-based full-service Romanian law firm with strong corporate/M&A, litigation and competition practices. Directly comparable to SAA on practice mix, sector coverage, and target client base; the firm from which Oana Bucsa joined SAA in 2026.
• Nestor Nestor Diculescu King Petersen (NNDKP): One of the largest and longest-established Romanian full-service law firms with deep M&A, banking & finance, and real estate practices. Competes directly with SAA for Tier 1 corporate, PE and real estate development mandates in Romania.
• Mușat & Asociații: Historic Romanian full-service firm with strong corporate, energy, regulatory and dispute resolution practices. Overlaps with SAA across M&A, real estate, competition and public sector work and shares the same Bucharest institutional client base.
• Filip & Company: Bucharest-based full-service Romanian firm with comparable M&A, real estate, employment and competition capabilities, frequently cited in the same Chambers and Legal 500 rankings as SAA.

Broad incumbents

• Dentons (Bucharest office): Global full-service law firm with a long-standing Bucharest office competing for the same large corporate, banking, real estate and EU/institutional mandates as SAA, but with substantially greater international network leverage and headcount.
• Schoenherr (Romania): Austrian-headquartered CEE regional firm with a Bucharest presence competing directly for cross-border M&A, real estate and PE mandates in Romania, while offering a twelve-jurisdictional CEE footprint that SAA cannot match.
• Wolf Theiss (Romania): Austrian-headquartered CEE-focused law firm with a Bucharest office active in M&A, banking, real estate and competition. Direct competitor for international client mandates targeting Romania and the wider region.
• Clifford Chance (Bucharest): Magic Circle firm with a Bucharest presence competing for the largest Romanian M&A, banking, capital markets and EU-financed mandates. Sets pricing and capability benchmarks that constrain mid-tier firms like SAA on the very largest transactions.

Regional players

• Reff & Associates (Deloitte Legal Romania): Romanian law firm affiliated with Deloitte Legal, providing corporate, M&A, tax litigation and employment law services. Competes with SAA in corporate/M&A and employment work with the additional backing of the Deloitte network for inbound mandates.
