Tens of thousands of Limited Liability Companies are incorporated each year in Romania. Many times, however, the prospective owners do not take into considerations the problems that may arise in the future, especially issues related to shareholders rights and obligations or the firm’s Article of Association. By hiring a lawyer specialized in incorporating LLCs and corporate and commercial law, the shareholders can prevent any liabilities or claims that may arise in the company activity, say lawyers specialized in incorporating LLCs and corporate and commercial law from Pavel, Margarit & Associates Romanian Law Firm.
Any company set up in Romania must be registered at the Romanian Trade Registry. A Limited Liability Company can have a main object of activity and more secondary objects of activity. Also the LLCs may have one or more shareholders that may be liable to the clients of the company only within the limit of the subscribed and paid-up share capital. Throughout his career, Radu Pavel, the Managing Partner of Pavel, Margarit & Associates Romanian Law Firm, assisted lots of companies in various legal issues in Corporate, Commercial and M&A area of practice. The legal issues would not have arisen if they would have hired a Romanian lawyer specialized in incorporating LLCs and corporate and commercial law.
“Most corporate law cases are related to the decisions of the General Meeting of the Shareholders, their rights and obligations and the director or board of directors legal issues. However, before or after setting up a LLC, a lawyer specialized in corporate and commercial law can advise the client regarding the rights and obligations of the majority or minority shareholders, the powers of the directors, the voting rights in the General Assembly of the Shareholders, on the issues regarding the heirs and their rights and on the liability of the directors. Over time, we have advised in litigations between shareholders, canceling of board decisions and in drafting the Articles of Association. Fortunately, in these cases we have advised in a timely manner, as there is a period of 15 days after the decision is taken when it can be appealed in court. In general, all these cases of corporate law have strict deadlines, so it is advisable to call on a specialized corporate lawyer who can act promptly, thus preventing any claims that may seriously harm the activity of the company. Also, we managed cases of administrator’s liability, for the damages caused to the company. For example, there were cases when the directors, having the right to sign in the bank, withdrew significant amounts from the accounts of the company, concluded fraudulent contracts, made fictitious payments or paid services or goods at a much higher price. In situations like this it is advisable to act in a timely manner. If not, the chance of recovering damages is substantially reduced, explains Radu Pavel, the Managing Partner of Pavel, Margarit & Associates Romanian Law Firm.
Over the years, Pavel, Margarit & Associates Romanian Law Firm has incorporated all types of limited liability companies, such as consultancy companies in various industries, manufacturing companies, IT companies, construction companies, companies activating in the mining or other energy field, real estate developers, food industry, agriculture, automotive, car-sharing etc. The Romanian law firm has also set up joint-stock companies and limited partnerships. Subsequently, the Romanian law firm advised these clients on various transactions, such as mergers or acquisitions. A Romanian lawyer specialized in incorporating limited liability companies and corporate and commercial law can advise the client about setting up the company in Romania, while also carrying out the incorporation procedure in the shortest time, according to the lawyers specialized in incorporating LLCs and commercial and corporate law of Pavel, Margarit & Associates Romanian Law Firm.
