Last updated: 1 November 2026.
1. Who runs this website
This website is run by CIPRIAN-PAUL FRANDEȘ - CABINET DE AVOCAT, registered with the Bucharest Bar under Law no. 51/1995, and, for insolvency and restructuring matters, by FRANDEȘ CIPRIAN-PAUL CABINET INDIVIDUAL DE INSOLVENȚĂ, registered with UNPIR, Bucharest branch, RFO no. 5369, under Government Emergency Ordinance no. 86/2006. Both offices operate under the Frandeș Law brand. These terms apply to your use of the website.
2. Information only
The content of this website, including articles, practice-area descriptions and explanatory materials, is general information. It is not legal advice and may not reflect the latest changes in the law. Using the website, the chat assistant or the contact form does not create a lawyer-client relationship. A lawyer-client relationship begins only when we sign a legal assistance agreement with you. For advice on a specific matter, please contact us.
3. The chat assistant
The chat assistant is an automated AI system. It answers general questions about the firm and its services and can pass on a request for a consultation. Its answers may be incomplete or wrong, and it does not give legal advice. Please do not share confidential details of your matter in the chat. How the chat processes your data is explained in our Privacy Notice and on our AI transparency page.
4. Free tools
The website offers free working aids, including a CAEN Rev.3 migration tool, a Civil Code term calculator, a cap-table tool, an insolvency timeline generator and a capital-markets AGM calendar. They apply Romanian statutory rules and public data to routine calculations and planning. They are not legal advice.
Tool results are produced automatically and may not reflect recent legislative changes, case law or the facts of your matter. Before taking any decision with legal or financial consequences, consult a lawyer.
The tools are built in-house by the firm. Despite our care, errors are possible. If you find an incorrect result, please tell us at office@frandes.law and we will look into it.
5. No warranties
The website, its content and its tools are provided as they are. We do not guarantee that they are accurate, complete, up to date or suitable for a particular purpose, or that the website will be available without interruption. We may change or remove any content or tool at any time.
6. Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for loss arising from the use of this website, its content or its tools, including loss of profit, loss of data, business interruption and loss arising from decisions taken in reliance on tool results or on content that has become outdated.
This limitation does not apply to loss caused intentionally or through gross negligence, or to harm to a person's physical or mental integrity or health, which cannot be excluded or limited under Article 1355 of the Romanian Civil Code. It also does not affect any other liability that cannot be excluded under mandatory law, including the rights of consumers.
7. External links
The website contains links to third-party websites, provided for convenience. We are not responsible for their content or availability, and a link does not mean that we endorse the linked site.

The original content of this website, including texts, structure and design, is protected by copyright and belongs to Frandeș Law. You may use it for personal, non-commercial purposes. Any other reproduction or distribution requires our prior written consent. Data taken from public sources, such as ONRC open data, ANAF, INS and Eurostat, remains subject to the terms of those sources.
9. Changes
We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the version in force, and the updated terms apply from the date they are published. We may change, suspend or remove the tools at any time.
10. Governing law and jurisdiction
These terms are governed by Romanian law. Disputes arising from them or from the use of the website are subject to the competent courts of Bucharest.
If you are a consumer, this clause does not deprive you of the protection given by the mandatory rules of the law of the country where you have your habitual residence (Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 593/2008), nor of your right to bring proceedings, and to be sued only, in the courts of the place where you are domiciled, under Articles 17 to 19 of Regulation (EU) No 1215/2012 and Romanian consumer protection law.
