Dr. Radu Pavel, Attorney-at-Law, in collaboration with Claudia Pavel, authored the chapter dedicated to Romania, providing an in-depth analysis of the legislative framework governing franchising.

The chapter addresses essential aspects of establishing and developing franchise networks, contractual obligations, competition law, intellectual property protection, and the legal mechanisms governing relationships between franchisors and franchisees.

This contribution strengthens the firm’s presence in international legal publications and reflects the team’s expertise in commercial law, providing investors and business operators with relevant legal insights into the Romanian franchise market.

“I am pleased to have had the opportunity to contribute to this international guide. I believe that one of the most important responsibilities of a lawyer is to share their experience and knowledge. ICLG addresses practical legal questions that entrepreneurs, investors, and professionals around the world face when seeking to develop a business. For me, contributing to the chapter dedicated to Romania is both a professional achievement and an opportunity to make Romanian legislation more accessible to those interested in investing and developing businesses in our country. I believe that legal information must not only be accurate but also useful in practice,” stated Radu Pavel, Managing Partner of Pavel, Mărgărit & Associates Law Firm.
