Land & Agribusiness
Agricultural land in Romania is sold under a special procedure with pre-emption rights and, in some cases, conditions on the buyer. We advise agribusinesses, investors and energy developers on buying, leasing and consolidating farmland.

Where legal work concentrates
Purchases
The pre-emption procedure, buyer eligibility and the notarial sale.
Consolidation
Assembling large holdings from many small plots.
Leases
Agricultural lease agreements registered with the local council.
Agribusiness deals
Acquisitions of farming companies and land-holding entities.
- Is the plot agricultural land outside the built-up area, so that Law 17/2014 applies?
- Who holds pre-emption rights, and how long will the procedure take?
- Can our company, or a foreign buyer, acquire the land at all?
- Is a lease or a share deal a better route than a direct purchase?
