Real Estate

Every transaction. Full coverage.

Romanian real estate transactions move fast and carry significant legal risk if not handled with precision. Title chains can be complex, planning conditions non-trivial, and financial structures can unravel at closing if the legal groundwork is not solid. We advise on the full transaction arc — title due diligence and deal structuring, development and construction contracts, real estate financing, commercial leasing, and regulatory compliance — for investors, developers, lenders, and occupiers. Our experience includes large-scale commercial developments, portfolio acquisitions, and cross-border real estate transactions where Romanian and EU law intersect.

Our Approach

Real estate transactions in Romania carry legal complexity that requires both technical precision and practical judgment. We identify the risks that matter, propose workable solutions, and help our clients move transactions forward without unnecessary delay.
