The right business lawyer Romania

Dana Vilaia
SPARL Vilaia & Asociații

Business law today demands more than legal expertise alone. It requires clarity of judgment and a deep understanding of how legal risk translates into business decisions. My practice sits at the intersection of business law and commercial strategy.

In a complex and rapidly evolving legal landscape, I combine rigorous legal analysis with a practical understanding of business, markets, technology, and regulation. This allows me to guide clients through high-stakes matters with precision, strategic insight, and confidence.

Expertise

Coporate, Mergers & Aquisitions

Effective corporate and M&A legal protection secures value, manages transactional risk, and ensures long-term stability after the deal is done

Real Estate Law

In real estate, legal protection is not optional. It preserves investment value, enables financing and insurance, and ensures that assets can be operated, transferred, or exited without legal obstacles

Insurance

Insurance enables businesses to transfer and manage risk, protecting assets, revenue, and operational continuity in situations that could otherwise threaten their survival

Contracts

Contracts are the backbone of any business. They structure commercial relationships, allocate risk, protect value, and ensure that business decisions are legally enforceable

Litigation & Dispute Resolution

Effective dispute resolution protects financial value, limits exposure, and ensures control over risk when conflicts arise

Biography

Dana Vilaia is a business lawyer in Romania with over 26 years of experience, specializing in insurance litigation, real estate, and complex contractual and corporate matters. She works primarily with insurers, real estate developers, and corporate clients.

My ultimate goal has always been to be the trusted lawyer clients turn to for high-stakes business transactions, complex insurance disputes, and critical legal challenges.

I have built a strong reputation in insurance law, where I have excelled as both a claims negotiator and an insurance litigator, acting in complex disputes and professional liability matters. My background in psychology, together with my certifications as a coach and NLP Master, has shaped a negotiation-driven approach that remains a central pillar of my practice. As a trained mediator, I focus on identifying strategic and creative solutions that lead to durable, win-win outcomes.

Alongside my insurance practice, I have developed solid expertise in real estate, advising on office, residential, and mixed-use developments throughout their entire lifecycle, from construction to operation. I assist clients with acquisition, development, leasing, and long-term property management, including the structuring of complex contractual frameworks, risk allocation mechanisms, and the integration of insurance solutions across real estate projects.

Today, my legal practice is focused on Insurance, Real Estate, Contracts & Agreements, and Mergers & Acquisitions. I firmly believe that specialization defines exceptional legal service, and I advocate for depth of expertise as the foundation of high-quality legal representation.

Education & Bar Admission

My legal career began in 1998, when I graduated from the Bucharest School of Law. That same year, I joined Mușat & Asociații, one of Romania’s leading law firms, and in 1999 I was admitted to the Bucharest Bar Association.

In 2005, I founded my own law practice, marking a shift toward an independent, client-focused approach to complex legal and business matters.

Over the years, I continued to expand my professional expertise beyond traditional legal practice. In 2008, I became a certified Mediator, followed in 2009 by my appointment as a Dispute Adjudication Board (DAB) member under FIDIC Contracts.

My interest in negotiation, leadership, and decision-making led me to pursue further qualifications. In 2017, I became a certified Business Coach, and in 2018 I completed my training as an NLP Master.

In 2024, I founded NewsLex, a platform dedicated to legal education, contract expertise, and professional development for lawyers and businesses.

This experience is complemented by a broader leadership, judgment, and education framework developed and articulated by Dana Vilaia.
