BACIU PARTNERS announced that it won the Romania Copyright & Design Firm of the Year award at the Managing IP EMEA Awards ceremony organized on April 10, in London. Also, the firm was a finalist for the Romania Trademark Firm of the Year and Romania Patent Firm of the Year distinctions. This marks the fifth consecutive year when the firm is included among the winners of the much-coveted awards dedicated to the international intellectual property community. BACIU PARTNERS is proud to have surpassed, again, strong competition and to be the first intellectual property outfit that holds firmly its status as a reference for the domestic market.
Ana-Maria Baciu, Managing Partner mentioned: "I strongly believe in an approach that blends legal precision, commercial insights, and strategic vision in a way that is distinctive, meaningful for all those involved, and aligned with each client's reality. Being a winner at the Managing IP EMEA Awards 2025 Gala is a reaffirmation that the principles we bring into every project – whether client-facing or internal – consistently create value that is tangible, visible, and worthy of recognition."

The results at the individual level are similarly honoring: Andreea Bende, Partner, has been awarded the Practitioner of the Year in Romania. Andreea's acknowledgment reconfirms her ability to become the leader of the emerging generation of professionals shaping the future of the intellectual property field. It also stands as a testament to the firm's coherent and genuinely strategic approach in the intellectual property field, a core pillar of its business.
This accolade is granted to professionals who are highly regarded within their jurisdictions for their consistent and impactful activity in the field of intellectual property. Andreea was selected from a shortlist of 12 leading practitioners in Romania, standing out thanks to her consistent results. This recognition follows the remarkable double achievement of Ana-Maria Baciu, who became the first Romanian lawyer to receive this distinction in 2023 and was reconfirmed in 2024.
Present at the 2025 Managing IP EMEA Awards ceremony, Andreea Bende stated: "This recognition is more than a personal milestone – it is a powerful motivator that drives me to continuously push my professional boundaries. On my scale of values, every project is an opportunity for growth – both for our clients and for our team. Also, every award and distinction we receive at the individual and firm level is a powerful motivation for continuing to nurture a culture of trust, collaboration, and excellence. I am deeply grateful for the people that have shaped my journey to date – from mentors and colleagues to clients and peers – all of whom have contributed to the principles that guide my work today."
Managing IP's highly reputable awards program is one of the premier annual events for firms and professionals active in the intellectual property field worldwide. Celebrating its 20th anniversary, the gala represents a highly appreciated platform that presents awards to firms, individuals, and companies "behind the most innovative and challenging IP work of the past year, as well as those driving the international IP market" and covers over 50 jurisdictions, worldwide.
Being shortlisted in all five categories awarded for Romania and winning two of them is a powerful acknowledgment of our firm's strong position among the leading domestic, independent law firms and our team's all-encompassing expertise across the full spectrum of the intellectual property field.
Note that the individual evaluations also included the nomination of Ileana Nicolescu, Managing Associate, for the Rising Star category.
