Investment & divestment · Bucharest, Romania
Romanian property transactions. Risk made clear.
An acquisition is not just a review of documents. It is a decision about what you are buying, what could affect its value and which risks you are prepared to carry. FIRST PRINCIPLE advises on Romanian real estate investment and divestment, from the first review through negotiation and closing.
Discuss the scope and feeLegal due diligence with a transaction purpose
We scope the review around the asset, the proposed structure and the investment plan. Title, use, development status, occupational arrangements and security interests are considered together. The question is not simply whether an issue exists, but whether it affects the investment decision, price, timetable or ability to finance the asset.
Turn findings into deal terms
A report is only part of the work. Findings need to be translated into actions: further investigation, remedial steps, conditions to closing, contractual protection or a conscious decision to accept a risk. We support acquisitions and disposals, transaction structuring and negotiation of the documents that allocate those risks.
An asset deal or a corporate transaction?
Buying a property and buying the company that holds it raise different questions. We help connect the property analysis with the transaction structure, including real estate elements of corporate acquisitions, joint ventures and reorganisations. The scope is agreed around the actual deal, rather than a standard checklist applied without context.
Before the first conversation
Start with the asset location and type, whether you are buying or selling, the intended structure and the target timetable. Identify any financing or development dependency and the decision you need to make next. A short non-confidential summary is enough for the first contact; confidential documents can follow once the engagement arrangements are settled.
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.
