How the work in Romania is organised
Assessment
An online consultation in your own language: what the law in Romania requires, which documents are needed and what a realistic route looks like.
Documents and filing
We prepare the pack, the translations and the legalisation, and support the filing with the relevant authorities.
Court representation
If the matter moves to litigation, we bring in an advocate admitted to practise in Romania and coordinate their work. Most matters never need it.
Case control
We keep the deadlines and the status, and keep you informed at every stage — wherever you happen to be.
How we work
Counsel and advocate as a pair: how the division of roles shapes the outcome
In family, criminal and business matters the outcome depends not only on the hearing itself, but on how precisely the legal position is framed. That is why two specialists run the case: the counsel works with you and with the file, the advocate works with the court and the authorities. You explain the situation in plain language; it reaches the procedural documents already in the language of law.
Communication without the legal barrier
You describe the situation as it is. The counsel records the facts, asks the clarifying questions and reviews the documents, so the details that affect the case are not lost.
Legal qualification of your situation
The counsel translates the facts into law: identifies the applicable rules, builds the evidence base and prepares the position the advocate takes into the proceedings.
Control over deadlines and progress
The counsel keeps the case calendar — filing deadlines, replies from the authorities, hearings — and keeps you informed of the status at every stage.
One strategy, agreed with you
Counsel and advocate follow a single plan that you approve. If the circumstances change, the strategy is adjusted — the decision always stays with you.

Digital assets
Cryptocurrency in Romania: legalisation, taxation, withdrawal of funds
Cryptocurrency is no longer in a grey zone: banks ask for proof of funds, tax authorities track exchange reports, and notaries demand explanation of funds for property purchases. We bring your digital assets into legal compliance in Romania — from declaration and proof of origin through taxation to withdrawal of income to a European account.
Cryptocurrency legalisation
We bring assets out of the shadows lawfully: determine what and which period requires declaration in Romania, prepare declarations and explanations, align your position with tax authorities before they ask the first question.
Proof of funds origin in cryptocurrency
We assemble proof documentation to meet bank, notary, or regulator requirements: exchange and wallet statements, transaction chains, purchase confirmations. We present this as a professional document package that authorities accept, not a collection of screenshots.
EU cryptocurrency taxation
We explain when tax arises in Romania: fiat conversion, coin-to-coin exchange, staking, mining, NFTs, and crypto payments. We calculate the tax base, rate and filing deadlines — so you know the amount before filing, not after.
Withdrawal to an EU bank card
We prepare withdrawal to pass compliance: select exchange and bank, prepare supporting documents, align amounts and frequency. If your bank has already questioned a transfer, we prepare your reply and handle all correspondence.
Tax burden optimisation
Lawful tools, not schemes: tax regime selection, timing of sale, loss and expense accounting, long-term holding, company-structured ownership and tax residence rules. We show you the difference in real numbers on your portfolio.
Bank compliance and account unblocking
If your account is frozen or transfer blocked due to crypto source: we analyse the bank's inquiry, prepare explanations and documents, conduct correspondence and challenge any refusal lacking legal grounds.
