We review the transaction structure, the parties involved, the obligations undertaken and the financial consequences before documents are signed. We identify imbalanced terms, insufficient security and risks that may affect performance.
We draft and negotiate commercial contracts around the business objectives, defining clear obligations, security, payment mechanisms, liability limits and remedies for non-performance.
We review companies, assets, contracts, security and relevant obligations. The report identifies risks, their potential impact on the transaction and the measures recommended to protect the client.
We assist with day-to-day legal decisions, contract interpretation and performance, relationships with commercial partners and adapting documents as the business evolves.
We assess the parties’ positions and pursue a solution that protects the client and, where possible, preserves the commercial relationship. We formalise settlements so that obligations are clear and enforceable.
Where an amicable solution is not possible, we build the litigation strategy, manage the evidence and represent the client before the courts, protecting the business, cash flow and company assets.
Real matters, presented with client identities protected.
In a dispute between two companies, a precautionary garnishment imposed without summoning the parties froze approximately EUR 100,000 in the client's accounts.
The Bacau Court of Appeal suspended enforcement with final effect and the frozen funds were released.
A supplier sought payment of invoices for products required in a production process, although the payment obligation had been legitimately disputed due to non-conforming deliveries.
We obtained the final annulment of the EUR 550,544.66 payment order and removal of the ancillary effects established by it.
A Romanian manufacturer was unable to collect a significant commercial receivable from a contractual partner who refused payment, invoking technical pretexts and procedural delays.
Total victory in court. We recovered over RON 1,500,000 for the client, together with all legal costs and the related late-payment penalties.
A Romanian manufacturer was sued by a commercial partner claiming EUR 450,000 in damages for alleged hidden defects in the delivered products. The very existence of the company was at stake.
Total victory. The claim was dismissed in full by the court. Our client did not pay a single euro, and the company's commercial reputation and financial stability were fully protected.
A Romanian manufacturer received goods from a foreign supplier that did not conform to the contractual specifications; the supplier refused to acknowledge the non-conformity and insisted on full payment of an invoice exceeding EUR 750,000.
The client was fully released from the payment obligation towards the foreign supplier. By proving the non-conformity of the goods and the supplier's exclusive contractual fault, the court dismissed the supplier's claims in their entirety.
An active, solvent company was targeted by insolvency petitions based on alleged claims of over RON 3,000,000, filed abusively to destabilise the business and exert commercial pressure.
Total victory. Our team obtained the dismissal of all petitions as unfounded and abusive. The company continued its activity without interruption, with its commercial reputation and partner relationships fully protected.
The first step is to review the contract, invoices, due date and evidence of performance. Depending on the documents and the debtor’s position, recovery may involve negotiation, formal notice, a payment order, ordinary proceedings or, where the legal conditions are met, insolvency proceedings.
Not in every case. The invoice must be reviewed together with the contract, proof of delivery or performance, acceptance and any objections raised. Where performance is disputed, additional documents, expert evidence or other proof may be required.
Non-conformity should be notified and documented carefully. The contract, technical specifications, reports, photographs, correspondence and specialist analyses may be relevant. Depending on the circumstances, remedies may include repair, replacement, price reduction, termination or damages.
A payment order is an accelerated procedure for recovering certain contractual claims that meet the statutory requirements. Where the existence or amount of the obligation requires complex evidence, the dispute may need to be determined in ordinary proceedings.
Yes. The debtor may raise defences during the procedure and may use the statutory remedy against an order that has been issued. The documents should be reviewed immediately because procedural deadlines depend on service of the judgment.
Insolvency does not automatically replace commercial litigation. The creditor must meet the statutory requirements concerning the claim and the debtor’s state of insolvency. A petition used solely as pressure may be challenged where the claim is disputed or the procedural conditions are not met.
In many cases, yes. Early legal review may allow the parties to renegotiate obligations, agree a payment schedule, terminate the contract in a controlled manner or conclude an enforceable settlement.
Relevant documents include contracts and schedules, invoices, purchase orders, proof of delivery or performance, reports, notices, correspondence, technical documents and any papers received from a court, enforcement officer or insolvency practitioner.
We provide assistance under ongoing retainers and for projects, contracts, negotiations, mediation, transactions, due diligence reports or individual commercial disputes. Our services are adapted to each client’s operations, structure and objectives.
Ongoing advice helps identify issues before they develop into operational blocks, financial losses or litigation. We review contracts, commercial decisions and relationships with partners, and if a dispute arises we can act with an existing understanding of the client’s business.
