Development & permitting · Bucharest, Romania
Development in Romania. Start with what can be built.
The value of development land depends on more than ownership. It depends on whether the intended project can be delivered, on what terms and within what sequence of decisions. FIRST PRINCIPLE connects the legal position of the land with the commercial purpose of the development.
Discuss the scope and feeConnect title with buildability
Our work covers title, land arrangements, urbanism and authorisations in the context of the proposed use. A clean answer on one issue does not resolve every other constraint. We examine how the relevant legal questions interact and identify which dependencies need attention before an acquisition, commitment or next project stage.
Understand the dependencies
Access, infrastructure obligations, third-party arrangements and the permitting strategy can affect the route from land to operational asset. We help frame these questions and connect the legal work with the project timetable. Technical assessments remain the responsibility of the relevant specialists; legal advice needs to work alongside them.
A legal strategy across project stages
Early-stage land review, acquisition support and ongoing development advice require different scopes. We focus each stage on the decision at hand, including how identified risks should be addressed in the transaction or development documents. As the project moves towards delivery, the legal work can connect with construction agreements and future leasing arrangements.
Before the first conversation
Tell us where the land is, what you intend to develop, the current project stage and the next investment decision. Flag any known access, urbanism, permitting or infrastructure concern. This helps distinguish a focused initial review from a wider development mandate and define a proportionate fee proposal.
Clear scope. Clear price.
Where the work can be scoped, we prefer a fixed fee agreed in advance. Larger or evolving matters can be divided into stages; hourly billing remains available where uncertainty makes that more appropriate.
