Dragne & Asociatii has successfully represented Partidul Libertate, Unitate si Solidaritate before Romania's High Court of Cassation and Justice of Romania  in a dispute regarding the right to constitute electoral alliances.

On March 8, 2019, Dragne & Associatii reports, the High Court (HCCJ) "was asked to rule upon the prerequisites for the constitution of electoral alliances in view of participating to elections for Parliament." According to the firm, "by means of its Decision no. 1263, the HCCJ has admitted the opposition of several political parties and has annulled the Decision of March 7, 2019, rendered by the Electoral Central Bureau (BEC), by means of which a protocol for constitution of electoral alliances was invalidated. The HCCJ has consequently endorsed the protocol for the constitution of the electoral alliance 'Alliance 2020 USR PLUS.' The alliance was formed by Uniunea Salvati Romania (USR), Partidul Libertate, Unitate si Solidaritate (PLUS) and Alianța 2020 USR PLUS."

The Dragne & Asociatii team representing PLUS was led by Managing Partner Ion Dragne and included Partner Andreia Oana Dumitrescu and Senior Associate Raluca Gune.
