Cross-Border Restructuring in Romania
Corporate lawyer in Romania. Business insolvency in Romania
Cross-border restructuring represents the process through which a company (usually a joint-stock company or a limited liability company) adapts its legal, operational, or financial structure or a legal form in order to carry out activities outside the member state in which it was established. Such a cross-border in Romania project involves mergers, demergers, or transformations regulated both at the national and European level.
Moreover, restructuring within a cross-border in Romania project also includes the agreement with creditors, which can be used when a limited liability company or a joint-stock company is facing financial difficulties but is still operational, with the objective being to avoid insolvency.
Cross-border restructuring is a complex process where a company adapts its legal, operational, or financial structure to operate internationally. This involves mergers, acquisitions, or reorganizations regulated at both national and EU levels. A commercial lawyer in Romania or an international lawyer in Romania is essential for navigating the legal landscape of business restructuring in Romania and ensuring compliance with cross-border regulations. Whether dealing with insolvencies in Romania or assisting potential investors in Romania, legal expertise is crucial in managing capital restructuring in Romania, asset transfer in Romania, or carve out in Romania to achieve a successful restructuring outcome.
The arrangement with creditors procedure can also be used in situations where debts can be restructured through an agreement with creditors, without the need for liquidation or sale of the business, while also offering protection against creditors from other states to prevent enforcement during restructuring.
The Romanian Law Firm Pavel, Mărgărit and Associates recommends consulting a commercial lawyer in Romania or corporate lawyer in Romania to assist with drafting the request for opening of the arrangement with creditors, filing it with the competent court, negotiating with Romanian and international creditors, developing the restructuring plan, or advising on any other legal aspects necessary in the agreement with creditors carried out within a cross-border in Romania project. The legal assistance of a corporate lawyer in Romania or business lawyer in Romania is even more important as, in the case of business transfers in Romaniaor asset transfer in Romania across borders, international regulations, both EU and non-EU, must be respected. Thus, collaboration with a professional in the field ensures increased protection against disputes and risks of enforcement in other states.

One of the most important steps in the agreement with creditors is the development of the restructuring and economic recovery plan to avoid difficulties that may arise for a company in insolvencies in Romania. A restructuring plan must include aspects related to debt rescheduling, reduction of financial obligations, conversion of debts into shares, or the sale of assets to obtain liquidity. In addition to this economic analysis of the debtor’s situation, an analysis of the employees’ situation is also included, as well as a description of the causes and level of the debtor’s difficulties at the time the plan is developed. The plan should also specify the proposed restructuring measures, the budget involved, and the operational changes that will occur for the company, regardless of its legal form (it could be a limited liability company, a joint-stock company, a limited partnership, or a general partnership) undergoing agreement with creditors. It is important to mention that in the case of such a reorganization procedure, if the company has international operations or debts to foreign creditors, it must ensure that the restructuring is recognized in those states as well. In this regard, Regulation (EU) 2015/848 establishes that when creditors are from the EU, recognition is automatic.
