International clients often need more than a statement of Romanian law. They need the rule connected to documents, timing, responsibility and the decision in front of them.
Clear English-language advice
Legal requirements are explained in practical terms, including the qualifications and dependencies that may change the answer.
Cross-border context
Advice addresses the Romanian element while recognising that the client, ownership structure, documents or decision-makers may be abroad.
Focused document review
The relevant agreements, company records, notices, employment documents or property records are identified before conclusions are drawn.
Professional confidentiality
Information is handled subject to the professional duties applicable to Romanian lawyers and the requirements of the specific engagement.
How We Begin a Legal Matter
Initial context
You identify the client, the general issue, the Romanian connection and any known deadline.
Scope review
We assess whether the matter fits the practice and what information is needed before advice can begin.
Conflict check
The relevant parties may need to be identified before confidential facts or documents are discussed.
Agreed next step
The consultation, document review or proposed mandate is confirmed according to the matter.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do your Romanian lawyers advise clients who are based abroad?
Yes. Many Romanian legal matters can begin online in English. The documents, signatures, powers of attorney and any in-person steps depend on the transaction or procedure.
Which areas of law does the team cover?
The principal areas include corporate and commercial law, employment, contracts, real estate, tax, intellectual property and litigation. The team can first assess whether a particular matter falls within the office’s current practice.
Can the team assist a foreign company entering Romania?
Yes. Assistance may cover company formation, governance, contracts, employment, regulatory questions and ongoing Romanian-law support. The correct scope depends on the planned activity and ownership structure.
What information is needed for an initial enquiry?
Provide a general description of the issue, the Romanian connection and any known deadline. The relevant parties may need to be identified for a conflict check before confidential information or documents are reviewed.
How are legal fees determined?
Fees depend on the scope, documents, urgency, complexity and work required. The applicable fee basis and engagement terms can be discussed before substantive work begins.
