Romania is the fastest-growing economy in CEE with businesses across a wide range of sectors setting up offices in Bucharest. This rapid growth makes the city an exciting place to do business, and is fast making Romania a key component in our clients’ strategy.

CMS Cameron McKenna in Bucharest is one of the major firms in the country, providing a full range of legal services for financial institutions, industrial and commercial organisations and central and local government. We have approximately 60 lawyers, and much of our work involves advising Romanian organisations and multinational businesses with a local presence. A recent highlight for us was advising Erste Bank on its winning bid to acquire a majority shareholding in Banca Comerciala Romana for €3.75 billion. This was the largest M&A transaction ever to take place in Romania, and one of the largest deals in the banking sector in Europe.

We work along sector lines, with special expertise in Banking, Consumer Products, Energy, Hotels & Leisure, Lifesciences, Real Estate & Construction and TMT, covering a range of corporate, competition, employment, pensions, infrastructure & projects, intellectual property, private equity, public procurement and tax services.
