Practice Areas

Corporate and transactional work is the core of our practice. We advise clients on the full spectrum of corporate matters, from company formation and governance through complex multi-party acquisitions, across a wide range of industries including technology, manufacturing, real estate, financial services, energy, agribusiness, and healthcare.

Our transactional work spans share deals, asset deals, joint ventures, venture capital investments, and cross-border acquisitions involving counterparties and co-counsel from multiple jurisdictions. We have worked on matters involving parties from the United States, United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, and Poland. We handle the full deal cycle: structuring, due diligence, negotiation, documentation, regulatory filings, and closing.

We also advise venture capital funds, crowdfunding platforms, and start-ups on equity investments, shareholder arrangements, and governance structures. Our work is defined by a pragmatic, business-oriented approach: legal advice calibrated to the client's commercial objective, not to the technical requirements of the documentation alone.

Ciprian Frandeș is a licensed insolvency practitioner, combining legal and practitioner expertise in a single engagement. This integration allows us to advise on both the legal framework and the practical administration of insolvency proceedings under Law 85/2014.

We act for debtors considering or undergoing restructuring, for creditors navigating insolvency proceedings to protect and recover their claims, and for investors acquiring distressed companies or assets. Our approach integrates legal strategy with commercial realism: the objective is value preservation and the best achievable outcome, not procedural compliance for its own sake.

Our insolvency practice covers pre-insolvency planning and out-of-court restructuring, judicial reorganization proceedings, creditor committee representation, distressed M&A, and post-insolvency asset acquisitions. We also advise on cross-border insolvency situations involving Romanian debtors with assets or creditors in multiple jurisdictions.

Commercial and contractual work runs across every sector we serve. We draft and negotiate commercial agreements, including distribution agreements, supply and procurement contracts, service agreements, licensing arrangements, and joint venture frameworks, for clients operating in competitive, regulated, and cross-border environments.

Our commercial practice is grounded in a transactional mindset: commercial agreements should protect the client's position while remaining workable, enforceable, and proportionate to the commercial relationship they govern. We pay particular attention to risk allocation, dispute resolution clauses, and termination mechanisms, the provisions that matter most when a relationship encounters difficulty.

We also advise on regulatory compliance matters arising from commercial operations: competition law aspects of distribution arrangements, consumer protection obligations, sector-specific licensing requirements, and the commercial implications of regulatory changes in Romania and at EU level. For matters requiring specialist regulatory input (employment, GDPR, environmental), we work with trusted advisors from our collaborator network.
