Baciu Partners has successfully represented Asociatia Suporter Club UTA in a case against Asociatia Fotbal Cub UTA Arad.
According to Baciu Partners. The dispute arose in 2022, when SCU, as a founding and managing member of AFC UTA, was denied requested financial data. A first-instance decision in SCU’s favor was appealed by AFC UTA, but the Arad Tribunal rejected the appeal, reaffirming SCU’s right to the documents. Finally, the Arad Tribunal pronounced a final ruling confirming the lower court’s decision that obliges AFC UTA to grant SCU access to the club’s financial documents and information.
Moreover, as the firm reports, Asociatia Suporter Club UTA was founded in 2007 with the idea of “protecting the identity and image of the UTA brand, representing a distinct and of significant value brand in the Romanian football landscape, as well as an inestimable value for the city of Arad. SCU has been a member of all the entities that managed the activity of the football team in Arad since 2008.”
The Baciu Partners team included Managing Partner Ana-Maria Baciu and Senior Associate Iunia Radu.
