Monthly retainers

Murar și Asociații offers tailored retainers for companies that need recurring advice without establishing an in-house legal department. We can act as an external legal team or work alongside the client's legal, finance, commercial or HR departments.

Why choose a monthly legal retainer?

A retainer provides continuity of advice and a thorough understanding of the company's business. Our lawyers consider each request in the context of its contractual history, operations and the risks already identified.

The main benefits for your business are:

• ongoing access to legal advice for day-to-day decisions;
• identifying and reducing risks through document review before signing;
• consistent management of contracts and business relationships;
• legal support in negotiations and dealings with authorities;
• planning the monthly budget for legal services;
• access to a team’s expertise according to the nature of each request.

A retainer supports informed management decisions and allows internal teams to seek advice while an issue can still be addressed efficiently.

What can a legal retainer include?

Depending on the company’s operations and needs, a retainer may include:

• consultations and legal opinions;
• drafting, reviewing and negotiating contracts;
• notices, correspondence and other legal documents;
• assistance with commercial and corporate matters;
• employment law advice;
• support in dealings with public institutions and authorities;
• participation in negotiations and business meetings;
• assessment of legal risks associated with decisions or projects.

Litigation, debt recovery, insolvency proceedings and other work involving a distinct workload may be included in whole or in part where expressly provided in the legal services agreement.

A relationship tailored to your business

The retainer is structured after assessing the sector, estimated volume of requests and services required. We define the included activities, document-sharing arrangements, contact persons and prioritisation rules at the outset.

The terms may be reviewed by agreement if the company’s activity or the volume of legal work changes materially.

Murar și Asociații provides retained legal services to companies in Bucharest and throughout Romania, including projects and legal relationships with international elements.

Is a retainer suitable for a company with an in-house lawyer?

Yes. We can complement the in-house team with specialist advice, reviews of significant projects, negotiation support or coordination of complex cases.

Can the retainer be changed during the engagement?

Yes. The services included and estimated workload can be adjusted by agreement as the company and its legal needs evolve.
