Expertise

Our dedicated team of lawyers analyzes projects from multiple perspectives in order to develop cost-effective solutions tailored to the specific needs of our clients, including by evaluation of country-specific factors that shape commercial and financial arrangements for each project. We employ a wide variety of legal concepts to create stable and consistent contracts for transactions ranging from straightforward procurement arrangements to sophisticated public projects involving private sector financing and operation.

Since precedents are scarce and the practice of the authorities is limited and yet to be harmonized, our advice is based mainly on our best judgment and deep knowledge of the fundamentals of the Romanian legal system in order to provide sound and business oriented support.

Our advice encompasses:

Procurement procedures

We advise on all relevant Romanian law aspects, ranging from the very technical but essential details of the selection process to the substantive legal matters that define the project and require evaluation for the purposes of structuring a competitive offer, such as public finances, licenses and authorizations, contractual issues, debt and securities.

Contract drafting and negotiation

We collaborate with our banking and finance legal experts to prepare the contractual framework of the project and negotiate it with the relevant authorities and with private sector parties, ensuring efficient assistance throughout closing formalities.

Post-closing implementation of projects

We assist clients in managing contract performance and overall project implementation: we provide support in employment and contractual matters, including obtaining licenses and authorizations, and facilitate adjustment to changes in the applicable law and regulations.

Litigation and dispute resolution

We form multi-disciplinary task forces to respond to a wide variety of challenges confronting our clients either in or out-of-court or before arbitration tribunals. We are widely recognized for promoting and fostering advances in public procurement case law, as well as in other infrastructure development-related administrative disputes.
