Market Entry

Your first point of contact for entering Romania.

New foreign investment rarely fails on the big strategic call — it stumbles on the gap between two legal systems: a clause that doesn’t carry, a filing missed, a structure that works at home but not here. We are the bridge: Romanian law handled directly, your home jurisdiction coordinated, one accountable lawyer from orientation to operating.

Who we help in

The RO↔UK corridor is the deepest expertise — but the bridge works from more than one shore.

UK investors & businesses

The corridor we know best. Romanian-law work paired with comparative analysis against English & Welsh law, so you can see where the two systems diverge before it costs you.

Other jurisdictions

Entering Romania from elsewhere in the EU or beyond? We handle the Romanian-law side and coordinate with qualified counsel in your home jurisdiction, so nothing falls between the two.

Startups & founders

Lean on documents you drafted with AI, validated and signed off by a real lawyer — built for the speed of a young company, scoped to be affordable before you have a legal budget.

From first look to first hire

1

Orientation

Before you commit capital: how your structure, contracts and IP translate into Romanian law, what is straightforward and what needs care. A clear read of the ground.

2

Setting up

Incorporation route, employment and commercial contracts, GDPR and AML posture — drafted or reviewed and attested under Romanian law.

3

Corporate structure, implemented

SRL or SA, holding and IP-holding layers, governance and director arrangements, share classes and founder vesting — chosen for where you are going, then actually implemented: drafted, filed and attested, not left as a diagram.

4

Financing rounds

Pre-seed to Series A and beyond: SAFEs and convertibles translated into instruments that hold under Romanian law, subscription and shareholders' agreements, cap-table hygiene and investor KYC — terms both sides can sign.

5

Operating & scaling

Ongoing attestation of AI-drafted documents, Legislative Watch for your sector, and a single accountable contact as you hire, raise and contract locally.

Scope

Advice, drafting and attestation under Romanian law are provided by a practising avocat with professional indemnity cover. Comparison with the law of England & Wales is comparative analysis by a solicitor (non-practising) and is not English-law advice. For any other jurisdiction, we coordinate with qualified local counsel rather than advise on that law ourselves — you get one point of contact, not one lawyer pretending to cover every system.
