Consumer and Retail

We take time and care to fully understand our clients’ ambitions and strategic goals. Our mix of legal, regulatory and commercial experience means that we can provide high-quality legal services to really meet their needs.

We have advised clients on a number of landmark transactions in the consumer and retail sector in Romania in recent years. It’s our expertise and deep knowledge of Romanian law that enable us to offer the first rate legal services our clients have come to expect. We are recognised for the breadth and depth of our industry knowledge, covering consumer goods, food and beverage, electronics, e-commerce, luxury brands or cosmetics.

We advise consumer and retail sector clients on mergers and acquisitions, finance, legislative, regulatory, intellectual property, data protection and brand protection, antitrust, employment, litigation and commercial matters.
