State Aid & Public Projects

Joining the European Union was a great opportunity for Romanian companies to access European funding that helps them to develop and diversify their industrial and business processes.

Also, within the framework of the European regulations, Romanian companies are eligible to participate in different State Aid Schemes that aim to reduce regional disparities within the country, to promote research and development and innovation activities, or to promote a high level of environmental protection.

But, in addition to the obvious development opportunities they offer, both European funded and State Aid projects confront companies with complex legal issues during the implementation process, as the rules of accessing the funds and implementing the projects are extremely strict and, if not fully observed, the companies are faced with the risk of losing the entire grant.

Therefore, our team provides comprehensive legal consultancy and accompanies our clients at all stages of the projects, from the project definition to the end of the implementation period.

We interpret for our clients the applicable legal framework, request the necessary clarifications from the competent authorities, offer legal supervision of the contracts, supervise the purchasing procedures that lead to the award of procurement contracts, and assist our clients in all administrative or judicial proceedings.

In figures, we have advised our clients on projects valued at over EUR 50 million.
