About
Provided by Radu Tărăcilă Pădurari Retevoescu SCA
Our corporate practice has been consistently ranked among the market leaders in Bucharest. We believe one key strength underpins this continued success – the fact that our corporate lawyers provide decisive, solution-oriented legal advice.
Over the past decade, we have advised clients on a number of landmark M&A transactions, restructurings, joint ventures, commercial and contract issues. We have also provided corporate legal services to many clients setting up operations in Romania for the first time and continue to advise them on their operations here.
We support buyers and sellers at all stages of the transaction, from bid preparation and submission to negotiation, sign-off and close. We’re known for getting to the heart of the most complex issues, creating the right strategy and deal structure and minimising the risk involved.
Our long experience of advising clients on complex, multi-jurisdictional transactions means we are well placed to anticipate any issues and risks clients might encounter, providing them with top-tier legal advice when and where needed.
