Terms of Service

My·Counsel is a service of Răzvan Alexandru Olaru, Baroul București (Reg. no. 14381), and a solicitor of England & Wales (SRA no. 654347, non-practising). Contact: raz@olawru.com. References to “we” or “us” mean that practice.

We provide (a) attestation and review of documents under Romanian and EU law by a practising avocat, and (b) comparative analysis against the law of England & Wales. The English-law output is comparative analysis only and is not English-law advice. The service supports, and does not replace, full legal advice on your specific matter.

Using this site, the free triage, or any article or checklist does not create a lawyer–client relationship and is not legal advice. A relationship arises only when we have agreed a written engagement, completed any conflict and identity checks, and you have accepted the applicable fee and scope.

Each attestation is limited to the specific document version submitted, the matters expressly stated in the Letter of Attestation, and the named addressee. It does not extend to other versions, amendments, attachments, or facts not disclosed to us.

You are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the documents and information you provide, and for confirming that you are authorised to submit them. Automated triage results are informational only.

Fees for each tier are as stated at the point of order or in your engagement. Unless agreed otherwise, work begins after the fee is paid and any required checks are complete. If conflicts, identity or anti-money-laundering checks cannot be completed, or we decline the matter, the fee is refunded in full. Once substantive work has begun, the fee for the selected tier remains due; if we fail to deliver within twice the stated target through no fault or delay of yours, you may cancel for a full refund. Consumers: see the withdrawal terms in the engagement letter.

Romanian-law work is carried out by a practising avocat enrolled with Baroul București (Reg. no. 14381), subject to professional indemnity cover. English-law commentary is provided by a solicitor admitted in England & Wales (SRA no. 654347) on a non-practising basis and is not a reserved legal activity.

Our liability for any matter is limited as set out in the relevant engagement letter, including any agreed monetary cap, and is excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law for indirect or consequential loss. Nothing limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

The content of this site, including articles, diagrams and checklists, is provided for your own use and may not be resold or republished without permission.

These terms are governed by Romanian law, and the courts of Bucharest have jurisdiction, save where mandatory consumer rules provide otherwise.

We may update these terms; the current version governs your use. The Romanian version of these terms is available on request / versiunea în limba română este disponibilă la cerere. Questions: raz@olawru.com.
