State aid

On a market only relatively recently opened up such as Romania’s, the State’s involvement in various industries is often frequent and, as a result, State aid is still a very important aspect that needs to be considered.  We have extensive experience in dealing with State aid issues, assisting State institutions and private entities alike in various matters involving State aid.

We provide legal advice and support to our clients before the RCC and the European Commission in complex cases, using our wide experience and ability in meeting our client’s needs and ensuring legal compliance with all applicable rules and regulations.
