Enter the EU with the legal architecture already standing.
One counsel, three fixed-fee packs — entity & representation strategy, the 2026 product-liability regime for software and AI, and DORA supplier terms — run from Bucharest, inside the Union.
Before we act
The full engagement is available only after client identification and anti-money-laundering checks (KYC/AML) and a direct conversation with counsel. Nothing is drafted, signed or filed before a written, fixed-fee scope is agreed. Everything on this page is general information about our services and the EU legal landscape — not legal advice, and not an offer of representation.

Architecture
EU Entry Architecture
Your product, mirrored in law.
Entity and representation strategy — GDPR Article 27, AI Act authorised representative, the product-liability operator chain — the contract stack (terms of service, DPA, reseller and importer agreements), and the operational spine to run it.

Product Liability & AI Readiness
The 2026 liability wall, mapped before you hit it.
From 9 December 2026, software and AI placed on the EU market answer under strict product liability — presumptions of defect, court-ordered disclosure, 10-to-25-year tails. Exposure map, documentation and disclosure readiness, insurance-gap specification.

DORA Supplier Pack
Selling to EU banks and insurers.
DORA has applied since January 2025, and its contractual requirements reach non-EU ICT vendors through every EU financial client. We review the addendum from your side — required versus over-reach versus abusive — with an Article 30 mapping and a pin-cited negotiation memo.

Request access to the locked demoYour counsel
A named lawyer, one point of accountability.
The engagement is led end-to-end by Răzvan Alexandru Olaru — avocat at the Bucharest Bar and England & Wales solicitor (non-practising) — working the seam between civil-law and common-law practice, across IT&C, insurance, public procurement and disputes.
The practice is built the way it advises: playbooks written as living documents, deterministic document search, frontier models grounded in your file at runtime — never retaining or reusing it — and every deliverable signed by the counsel whose bar number sits below.
Frequently asked questions
Do we need an EU representative before selling into the EU?
Often, yes — and usually more than one hat. Non-EU companies processing EU personal data typically need a GDPR Article 27 representative; providers of high-risk AI systems need an authorised representative under the AI Act; and under the new Product Liability Directive your importer or representative sits inside the liability chain. We map which apply to your product and structure the appointments deliberately, before your first EU distribution deal fixes them by accident.
Does DORA reach us as a non-EU vendor?
If you provide ICT services to EU banks, insurers or investment firms, DORA reaches you through your contracts: financial entities must impose specific provisions (Article 30) and register you in their register of information. The addendum your EU client sends is negotiable — part required, part over-reach. We review it from the supplier's side.
Which law governs the engagement, and what about our home jurisdiction?
Engagements are governed by Romanian law, with services covering Romanian and EU law. For your home-jurisdiction questions we work alongside your local counsel or refer you within our network — you keep one EU-side counsel and one point of accountability.
Why Bucharest as the EU base?
Romania is an EU member state with deep technical talent and cost-efficient operations, so your EU-facing contracts, representation and disputes strategy sit inside the Union. English is the working language of the engagement.
Scope
English is the working language; engagements are under Romanian law, covering Romanian and EU law. Home-jurisdiction questions are handled with your local counsel or through our referral network — you keep one EU-side counsel and one point of accountability.
