Lorena Baruch is an attorney registered with the Bucharest Bar, focusing her practice on white-collar crime, corporate criminal liability, internal investigations, compliance, whistleblowing, and cross-border criminal matters.
She advises both companies and individuals in complex criminal and regulatory proceedings involving allegations of fraud, corruption, tax offences, financial misconduct, and other business crime-related matters. Her work regularly involves navigating the intersection of criminal law, corporate governance, and regulatory compliance, assisting clients in managing legal risk, responding to investigations, and implementing effective compliance frameworks.
Lorena has particular experience in internal investigations, whistleblowing matters, and corporate compliance projects, including anti-bribery and anti-corruption programmes, corporate criminal liability assessments, and the development of policies and procedures designed to mitigate criminal and regulatory exposure.
She is also involved in matters with significant international dimensions, including cross-border investigations, judicial cooperation, asset recovery, mutual legal assistance, extradition-related issues, and proceedings involving European enforcement authorities, including the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO). Her experience includes coordinating with foreign counsel and advising on complex legal issues arising from parallel investigations and multi-jurisdictional enforcement actions.
Before focusing exclusively on white-collar crime and investigations, Lorena gained experience within one of Romania’s leading business law firms, providing her with a strong understanding of corporate structures, commercial realities, and the challenges faced by multinational businesses operating in regulated environments.
Her practice combines technical criminal law expertise with a pragmatic understanding of business needs, allowing her to deliver strategic advice in sensitive, high-stakes matters where legal, regulatory, and reputational considerations often intersect.
