Frequently asked questions
Can lenders step in to a Romanian energy project?

Yes, through direct agreements and share security, but licenses and some permits need regulatory action to transfer. Step-in plans should be agreed with the regulator's rules in mind.

Do you issue legal opinions?

Yes, capacity and enforceability opinions on Romanian law matters for financings.
