What We Do

Our corporate and commercial practice guides clients through the full life cycle of a business, from incorporation and shareholder arrangements to acquisitions, exits, and day-to-day contracting.
We have structured share and asset transfers, carved out product divisions ahead of fundraising, and managed the entry and exit of founders and investors within multi-entity groups.
We act regularly on cross-border transactions, advising international investors and private equity funds on the corporate and employment framework for their Romanian holdings and guiding foreign technology and industrial groups through their local operations. We combine transactional execution with commercial judgement, aligning local structures with our clients' group policies and long-term strategy.

We support clients whose operations span borders, from Romanian producers entering non-EU markets to international groups coordinating activity across several jurisdictions at once.
Our work covers the structuring of cross-border transactions, the negotiation of international supply and distribution arrangements, and the compliance obligations that follow goods and services as they move between markets.
Working fluently in English and French, we help clients anticipate the regulatory, contractual, and operational friction points of international trade and keep cross-border commerce moving.

We advise the businesses building Romania's digital economy: software developers, online intermediation platforms, e-money and fintech providers, SEO and digital-service companies.
Our experience includes the acquisition and launch of web and mobile applications, innovative banking partnerships that bring new payment products to Romanian consumers, and the legal and compliance dimensions of migrating and scaling digital platforms.
We pair transactional and day-to-day advisory work with a close reading of the fast-moving framework governing digital services, so that innovation and compliance advance together.

We advise operators and developers across the gaming and gambling spectrum, from online gambling companies navigating the requirements of the Romanian market to studios building video games and metaverse experiences.
Our work spans regulatory and licensing questions, the cross-border transfer of ownership rights over games, and the commercial structuring of new interactive products.
We understand both the creative and the regulated sides of this industry and help clients bring products to market while staying ahead of a shifting compliance landscape.

Our IP practice combines protection, transactions, and high-stakes enforcement.
Our team members have acted in complex cross-border copyright disputes over computer programs, including claims reaching into the hundreds of millions of euros, and defended software providers against IP-infringement allegations, including in a criminal context.
We advise on the transfer and licensing of software, video games, and other proprietary works, and on protecting brands and creative assets in both domestic and international markets. Whether the goal is to register, exploit, or defend intellectual property, we build strategies that hold up commercially and in court.

We help clients build data protection into the way they operate, designing GDPR-compliant policies, mapping and legitimising cross-border data flows, and embedding privacy safeguards into digital products, platforms, and commercial arrangements.
Our advice is particularly valuable to technology, e-commerce, and financial-services clients, where the handling of personal data sits at the core of the business model.
We translate a demanding and evolving regulatory regime into practical, workable controls that reduce risk without slowing the business down.

We guide investors and target companies through Romania's foreign-direct-investment screening regime and the merger-control clearances that increasingly shape deal timetables.
Working alongside our corporate team, we integrate FDI and competition analysis into deal structuring from the outset, so that regulatory approvals support the commercial objective rather than derail it.
Beyond transactions, we advise and represent clients in Competition Council investigations, including through the litigation phase before the courts, where we have successfully defended clients against allegations of anti-competitive arrangements.

We advise investors across conventional and renewable energy, including wind, hydropower, and green-energy groups operating across several EU jurisdictions.
Our team members' work includes landmark challenges to decisions of the energy regulator (ANRE) and to government measures affecting the market, argued before the national courts and the Court of Justice of the European Union.
On the contentious side we have handled matters of exceptional scale, tax disputes concerning receivables of hundreds of millions of euros, and the restructuring of a major municipal heat supplier. In infrastructure, we advise construction groups on strategic public tenders, and the disputes and investigations that accompany large projects.

We represent clients in their most consequential dealings with the State, challenging decisions of sector regulators such as ANRE and ANCOM, contesting government ordinances and secondary legislation, and pursuing administrative outcomes with industry-wide impact.
Our track record includes steering strategic public tenders for European-financed infrastructure projects.
We combine close familiarity with the administrative courts and regulatory authorities with a strategic view of how public-law outcomes translate into commercial results.

We help businesses prevent, detect, and respond to financial crime and corporate-liability exposure.
Our work ranges from designing AML and compliance frameworks to conducting sensitive internal investigations and defending companies and executives in complex criminal proceedings, including allegations of tax evasion, embezzlement, money laundering, and organised-crime charges, with financial exposure running into the tens of millions of euros.
Our team members have successfully closed investigations against major international retailers and industrial groups and secured creditor and shareholder positions within criminal proceedings. We act decisively at the intersection of compliance, corporate governance, and criminal law.

We advise employers on the full range of workforce matters, from individual and collective employment arrangements to restructurings, disputes, and innovative staffing models such as cross-border personnel leasing.
We regularly build the employment framework for international groups establishing or consolidating their Romanian operations, aligning local practice with group policy.
Our support extends to immigration and mobility, helping clients bring international talent into Romania efficiently and in full compliance.

Dispute resolution is at the heart of the firm.
We litigate and arbitrate high-value, complex matters before the Romanian courts, the Court of Justice of the European Union, and in international arbitration, including proceedings with cross-border components spanning several jurisdictions.
Our contentious experience covers shareholder and corporate disputes, commercial and supply-contract breaches, tax controversies involving hundreds of millions of euros, tort claims, and regulatory challenges. We are equally at home pursuing and defending claims, and we approach every dispute with a clear strategy tied to the client's commercial objective, resolving matters through negotiation where possible.

We act across the full distressed spectrum, for debtors, creditors, shareholders, and investors.
Our experience includes insolvencies in the healthcare, media, and real-estate sectors.
We protect and enforce creditor and shareholder positions, including within criminal and fraud proceedings where assets have been diverted, and we structure the acquisition of distressed businesses and assets. Where value is at risk, we combine procedural command with commercial pragmatism.

We help clients turn favourable decisions into recovered value across borders, securing the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments and arbitral awards in Romania and assisting Romanian clients enforcing abroad.
Our disputes practice regularly handles matters with international components and multiple jurisdictions, and we bring that cross-border fluency to enforcement and asset-recovery strategy.
We also act on challenges to enforcement, protecting clients against improperly pursued claims. Where a judgment or award must cross a border to have effect, we chart the most efficient route.
