Ionas Dan Sorin Law Office of Ionas Dan Sorin

Legal services for companies and investors.

The office provides advice, assistance and representation across the main areas of business law. Every mandate starts with a careful analysis of the concrete situation and of the client's objectives.

Commercial and corporate law

We assist companies throughout their life cycle: from choosing the legal form and registration, to drafting and negotiating contracts, organising general meetings and restructuring operations. The aim is a legal structure that supports the business rather than slowing it down.

Services

  • Incorporation and registration of companies
  • Drafting and negotiation of commercial contracts
  • General meetings, amendments to the articles of association, shareholder relations
  • Share transfers, mergers, spin-offs
  • Recovery of commercial receivables

  • Challenging tax assessment decisions and audit reports
  • Representation in tax litigation

  • Representation in labour disputes
  • Posting of workers and international mobility

  • Contractual and tort liability
  • Recovery of damages
  • Objections to enforcement and enforcement proceedings

Services

  • Advice in Italian for investors and entrepreneurs
  • Setting up and organising companies in Romania
  • Bilingual Romanian / Italian contracts
  • Representation before the Romanian authorities
  • Cross-border commercial disputes
