Our team in Bucharest comprises local and international lawyers qualified to provide Romanian and English legal advice. We are experienced in complex cross-border transactions, and offer organisations who are new to doing business here greater understanding of the cultural differences between Romania and other European jurisdictions.
We thrive on professionally challenging work and have provided advice on some of the country's first and largest 'big ticket' deals, including:
- Domestic corporate bonds issues
- Dual IPO and GDR issues
- Infrastructure projects
- Leveraged buy-outs
- Real estate transactions
- Sovereign Eurobonds
Enhancing Romania’s market standards is as important to us as it is to our clients. We play an active role in the business community, investing time in developing legal frameworks and creating new products.
We helped draft the local legal framework for securities; to prepare new laws on mortgage finance, mortgage bonds and securitisation; and to establish 'best practice' in syndicated loan documentation and derivative master agreements.
