Legal support for technology and digital business in Romania
Digital products depend on more than working technology. We help businesses align contracts, intellectual property, data use, online sales and regulatory obligations before launch, investment, procurement or expansion.
Technology and digital legal services in Romania
We advise on digital products, platforms and technology transactions from structuring and development through launch, commercialisation and dispute prevention. The work may involve a focused technology contract review, a wider compliance assessment, or coordinated advice across corporate, intellectual-property, privacy and consumer matters.
The correct scope depends on what the product does, who supplies it, who uses it, which data it processes and how revenue is generated. A SaaS provider, an online marketplace, a software customer and an AI startup may use similar technology but face different contractual roles and regulatory questions.
Technology contracts
Software development, licensing, SaaS, cloud, hosting, support, maintenance, service levels, outsourcing, procurement and technology-transfer arrangements.
Digital compliance
Online terms, consumer-facing information, privacy, cookies, digital marketing, platform processes and reviews of e-commerce legal requirements in Romania.
Innovation and risk
Software ownership, confidentiality, open-source use, AI governance, data allocation, cybersecurity responsibilities and regulatory change management.
What should a technology legal review cover?
A review should follow the transaction and operating model rather than apply the same checklist to every digital business.
Technology legal control room
What is supplied, to whom, in which countries and under which payment or access model?
Legal scope, role mapping and priority-risk assessment.
| Review area | Key questions | Typical legal work |
|---|---|---|
| Product and business model | What is supplied, to whom, in which countries and under which payment or access model? | Legal scope, role mapping and priority-risk assessment. |
| Development and ownership | Who owns the code, specifications, datasets, documentation, designs and improvements? | Development terms, assignments, licences and confidentiality controls. |
| Customer and supplier contracts | Are service levels, acceptance, payment, warranties, liability, security and termination aligned? | Drafting, negotiation and contract-risk allocation. |
| Data and cybersecurity | Which personal or business data is processed, where is it stored and who responds to incidents? | Privacy terms, processing agreements, security schedules and response roles. |
| Online users and consumers | Are terms, pricing, subscriptions, cancellation, content and complaint processes compliant? | Website terms, consumer review and operating procedures. |
| Regulated technology | Do the service, sector, platform features or AI use trigger additional EU or Romanian rules? | Applicability analysis, gap review and implementation plan. |

Frequently asked questions
Can you review a software, SaaS or cloud agreement?
Yes. The review can cover scope, acceptance, service levels, fees, renewals, intellectual-property rights, data processing, security, subcontractors, warranties, liability, termination, transition support and governing law. The priorities depend on whether you are the supplier or customer and how critical the service is.
Who owns software created by an employee or contractor?
Ownership should be assessed against the creator’s status, the work performed, the applicable law and the contract. Employment terms and contractor agreements should address software, documentation, pre-existing materials, third-party components, confidentiality and the rights needed to use, modify and commercialise the result.
Does an online business need terms and conditions?
Usually, clear terms are necessary to define the service, payment, subscriptions, user conduct, intellectual property, liability, suspension and termination. Consumer-facing businesses must also align the terms and checkout process with mandatory information and consumer-rights requirements that cannot simply be excluded by contract.
Can you assess whether the EU AI Act applies to our product?
Yes. The assessment starts with the company’s role, the system’s intended purpose, how it is placed on the market or used, the affected people and any relevant sector. We can map the applicable obligations and coordinate the AI review with contracts, data protection and internal governance.
Can technology and GDPR issues be reviewed together?
Yes. Technology contracts often determine who processes personal data, on whose instructions, through which systems and under which security and incident obligations. Reviewing the commercial agreement and the data-processing documents together helps prevent inconsistent responsibilities and missing operational controls.
