The local legal context
Romanian professional claims combine the Civil Code's liability framework with any rules specific to the profession. Medical matters additionally engage Law No. 95/2006. Establishing a service failure is only part of the analysis; causation and the loss attributable to that failure also need evidence.
For advisory work, reconstruct the instructions and decision the client relied upon. Regulatory or disciplinary complaints should be coordinated with the separate compensation strategy. The assessment should reconstruct the engagement and advice chronology, identify the alleged departure from competent performance and test what loss would have been avoided, before deciding whether independent expert evidence is needed.

How Jurisiti can help
An unsatisfactory outcome does not by itself establish professional negligence. Review the agreed scope, the applicable professional standard and what would probably have happened without the alleged error. Complaints procedures, contractual claims and civil proceedings can offer different remedies and may need to be coordinated without overlooking limitation.
- Scope of retainer and duty analysis
- Breach, causation and loss assessment
- Expert evidence and professional indemnity
Questions about your matter
How do I start a professional negligence enquiry in Romania?
Identify the jurisdiction, the people involved, any existing proceeding or deadline, and the result you need. A short chronology and the key documents help define the proposed engagement before local professional arrangements are confirmed.
Can a cross-border matter involve more than one legal system?
Yes. Romania may be one part of a wider matter involving another place of residence, contracting party, asset or forum. Applicable law, jurisdiction and enforcement should be assessed separately, using the relevant national and international rules.
Does this guide establish a lawyer-client relationship?
No. An enquiry or use of this guide does not establish an engagement. Conflicts, professional authority, scope, responsibilities and fees must be confirmed before work is undertaken.
