We advise on domestic privatisations and international mergers and acquisitions (M&A), including local mergers, cross-border acquisitions, asset and stock acquisitions (both private and listed), joint ventures and preparation of pre- and post-acquisition/merger due-diligence reports.

Currently, we are advising on a number of mergers of listed and unlisted companies. We have completed a substantial number of privatisations and acquisitions, including acquisitions through the sale and purchase of shares of both domestic and foreign companies as well as having participated in the negotiation of a series of complex cross-border transactions and government sponsored bids and tenders.

Our specialized M&A team focuses specifically on timely issues, bottom-line business trends and business-oriented strategies for buyers and sellers acting in middle and large markets. Our team aims to serve as a source of legal intelligence for leading M&A businesses in Romania and abroad.

We also keep our clients up-to-date with the latest developments and business opportunities in the M&A sector, helping them to retain their competitive M&A edge in Romania . Our working philosophy for this specific sector is to always minimize liability for buyers and maximize returns for sellers.

We believe that to give effective advice requires experience in policy formulation, operations and governance frameworks as well as commercial structures. We have advised on major government privatisations as well as on private acquisitions, structuring and reorganization projects and project financings. We have also developed cutting edge strategies for both acquiring target companies as well as addressing post-acquisition challenges including competition issues, collective dismissals, tax optimization, minority shareholder matters and reorganizations.
