Frequently Asked Questions

Can you advise clients who are not based in Romania?

Yes. Many matters can begin online in English. The documents, signatures, powers of attorney and in-person steps depend on the matter and the applicable procedure.

Can you help a foreign founder set up a Romanian company?

Yes. Advice may cover the legal structure, company name, registered office, incorporation documents, beneficial-owner information, tax registration and ongoing governance. The appropriate route depends on the founders, business activity and intended ownership structure.

Can you review a contract before it is signed?

Yes. A focused review can identify payment obligations, liability, termination rights, intellectual-property provisions, confidentiality, governing law, dispute clauses and points to negotiate before signing.

Do you advise employers hiring non-EU personnel in Romania?

Yes. The work may include assessing the recruitment route, reviewing employer obligations, coordinating work-permit requirements and checking employment documentation. The answer depends on the worker’s nationality, role, status and the employer’s circumstances.

Can you review a Romanian property transaction?

Yes. A legal review may cover ownership, title documents, encumbrances, land-registry records, the reservation agreement, pre-contract, sale agreement and transaction risks identified in the available documents.

How are legal fees determined?

Fees depend on the legal matter, documents, urgency, complexity and work required. The scope and fee basis can be discussed before work begins.
