FOR BUSINESSES

Commercial contracts in Romania

Contracts define how a company conducts its business relationships and protects its interests. Murar și Asociații assists with drafting, reviewing and negotiating agreements and managing issues arising during performance.

Contract documents prepared for drafting, negotiation and signature

We align legal terms with the transaction itself: what each party supplies, when payment is due and the remedies available if obligations are not met.

Drafting and negotiation

We define obligations, delivery or service conditions, acceptance of works, payment, security, liability and termination. Negotiation aims to allocate responsibilities and risks clearly, in line with the company’s objectives.

Our assistance covers sale, supply, distribution, transport, works, lease, loan, franchise and service agreements. Where there is an international element, we also examine governing law and dispute resolution clauses.

Contract performance and termination

We advise on interpreting terms, amending obligations and addressing non-performance. We prepare amendments, notices and documents needed to end the contractual relationship.

For late payment and other disputes, we coordinate contractual steps with debt recovery and the preparation of evidence for potential litigation.

Can a company suspend payment if economic conditions change?

Financial difficulty does not itself change contractual obligations. We examine the terms, the allocation of risk and the conditions for relying on force majeure or hardship. Our analysis of these mechanisms explains the distinction between an impediment to performance and an obligation that has become excessively onerous.

Which documents are useful for reviewing a contract?

The draft agreement, annexes, offer and a description of the transaction. Commercial objectives, terms already negotiated and the decision deadline are also relevant.

Preparing a commercial contract for a Romanian business relationship

A useful contract review starts with the transaction, rather than a standard template. Before a draft is negotiated, identify what your company needs to deliver, receive and protect.

Before signing: the commercial decisions to clarify

  • Scope and acceptance: describe the goods, services or works, the agreed specifications and how completion will be recorded.
  • Payment and exposure: identify the price, payment stages, credit period and the commercial consequences of a late or disputed payment.
  • Dependencies: explain which deliveries, approvals or contributions from the other party are needed for your company to perform.
  • Changes and exit: identify how the project might change and the circumstances in which continuing the relationship would cease to make commercial sense.
  • International elements: identify the countries involved, the language of the documents and any governing-law or dispute-resolution terms already proposed.

If the agreement is already being performed

Bring the signed contract and amendments, the record of deliveries or services, invoices and relevant correspondence. A short chronology should distinguish what was agreed, what happened and what each party is now requesting. This helps connect a proposed amendment, negotiation or response to the evidence available.

A concise brief for your first enquiry

State whether you need a new agreement, a review of a draft, support in negotiation or advice on a contract already signed. Describe the transaction, the counterparty and any approaching decision date. Detailed or confidential documents can be organised after the initial discussion and conflict check.
