The local legal context
Romanian companies are registered through the National Trade Register Office, with the SRL and SA among the forms governed by Companies Law No. 31/1990. Shareholder liability, management and corporate approvals depend on the form. A registration certificate does not establish permission for every regulated business activity.
Prepare the constitutional and signing arrangements around the actual owners and financing. Check amendments after the dated ONRC consolidation before implementing a formation or governance change. The resulting corporate file should connect ownership, decision-making authority and continuing filing duties, so that the registered structure supports the business activity and transactions actually being undertaken.

How Jurisiti can help
Start with the entity’s legal form, registered seat and actual operations. Incorporation, licensing, tax residence and permission to carry on a regulated activity answer different questions. A governance review should trace authority from the constitution through the board and shareholder decisions to the person signing the transaction.
- Entity choice and incorporation
- Shareholder agreements and director duties
- Corporate records, approvals and beneficial ownership
Questions about your matter
How do I start a company law & governance enquiry in Romania?
Identify the jurisdiction, the people involved, any existing proceeding or deadline, and the result you need. A short chronology and the key documents help define the proposed engagement before local professional arrangements are confirmed.
Can a cross-border matter involve more than one legal system?
Yes. Romania may be one part of a wider matter involving another place of residence, contracting party, asset or forum. Applicable law, jurisdiction and enforcement should be assessed separately, using the relevant national and international rules.
Does this guide establish a lawyer-client relationship?
No. An enquiry or use of this guide does not establish an engagement. Conflicts, professional authority, scope, responsibilities and fees must be confirmed before work is undertaken.
